Kia Rio Review | One Of The Cars Of All Time

[@kirksmaraj]

I am a proud and distinguished owner of such a reliable and simple gasoline automatic hatchback unit. My association with my car began more than 15 years ago and up to yesterday I was in the cockpit driving over 20km plus of mountainous terrain and splendid decents. Earlier this month, the mere thought of selling the unit has brought about a new level of distaste and disorder bearing the title of my dear automotive pleasure. Without doubt the car could have been washed and even the trunk need a clean surface however that is signature of this car review not spending too much time preparing the visuals and focusing on the cosmetics to throw off rge pure essence of this unassuming extreme feat and work of art from the Korean perspective , killl them... thumbs up Kia Rio❤❤

Genuinely thought this was a Harrys Garage video when it popped up and was baffled as to why he was reviewing an 08 Rio 😭🤣

[@BuckleUpShow]

He’s not a car connoisseur like us 😂

[@McCrazyFish]

I think he is missing a trick by not doing an 08 Rio, I mean think how good it would look understeering round that corner he does his drive by shots on 🤣

[@thebritishautochannel]

@@BuckleUpShow @McCrazyFish 😂 poor chap doesn’t know what he’s missing, look at that sturdy glove box, fabulous 😆

[@BlatentlyFakeName]

Its a cary car for doing car stuff. Great if you just want something cheap and reliable. Also I quite like the driving position in these cars and the steering rack isn't as slow as it is in many eco cars.

[@BuckleUpShow]

They're very good at just being "a car" and yes, elements of the driving experience are surprisingly good. Thanks for watching!

[@abdullahbangura4309]

👍👍

[@EMENIKEP]

Tell me this is very reliable! I just need a small runaround that's cheap to run and reliable transportation

[@phillipbonalde1859]

all car reviews should come with a glove box sturdiness rating

[@BuckleUpShow]

We’ve started a new trend

[@connorpimmphotography]

The owner of this car clearly has good taste. I've heard that it has since lost another wheel trim and the roof bars have been transferred to a white Nissan Micra 👀

[@BuckleUpShow]

Some say you mean… 😂

[@Mr.Preston3991]

I actually really love these little cars. My younger sister has one and it has been good for her. 4 years so far and tiny issues. For a almost 20 year old car, I like it! (2007)

[@BuckleUpShow]

I would still go with a ford fiesta

[@Mr.Preston3991]

@@BuckleUpShow Interesting. I used to have one. I had to get rid of it because the blend door actuators kept going bad. 3 times before 30k miles. I said no more and got a toyota.

[@melvyndalley9558]

Had mine 10 years now , really do like it , love the Diesel engine. few issues really

[@BuckleUpShow]

Good for you

[@gigachad2276]

I like this car its really simple and Reliable great choice for people who are looking for Daily car

[@BuckleUpShow]

Thanks for watching

[@McCrazyFish]

I am amazed no one has mentioned my hat yet

I think the driver/steering wheel/foot pedals geometry is a bit weird - with my feet an appropriate distance from the pedals the wheel is a bit too close & vice versa. I have just bought a 2008 1.5 diesel with just over 100k, all the bells & whistles, everything works as it should, it's not rotten, drives lovely smooth & quiet, £1500, £30 tax it's about as cheap as owning a car gets and it's a decent enough car...

[@BuckleUpShow]

Just a shame about the rampant understeer

[@likemetoo2]

I agree theres a lot of room for improvement. the camber and toe are set at zero. Lowering springs and camber bolts to give it a little camber along with 15 inch wheels and good tyre made a world of difference.

[@BuckleUpShow]

Or instead of sinking that money into an old Kia Rio you could just buy a better car

[@likemetoo2]

@@BuckleUpShow provide an example. A newer car isn't always better. This will last me until they ban ice cars.

[@BuckleUpShow]

No no I meant a used car, something good, like ford focus

[@likemetoo2]

@@BuckleUpShow different class.I have an old astra as the family car. I work on enough ford focus' to know they're scrap after 10y 100k miles. I don't believe you're a car enthusiast all.

[@BuckleUpShow]

That's incredible because I've managed to own three more than 10 year old ones with over 100k miles.

[@DannoAviation]

Great video mate, looking at one of these myself tomorrow.. wish me luck!

[@BuckleUpShow]

Good luck!

[@andyknight794]

I'm so confused I don't know what to get ! Just found this video about 2 binge all your vids , I'm scrapping my seat ibiza, was gonna spend around 3k on another cheap round around, but now I'm seeing cars like this pop up for like £1600 on autotrader , I literally don't know what to do ? Do i get this car ?, something else ?, I know it's an impossible question I just dont know what to get !, thanks 👍

[@BuckleUpShow]

Don't get one of these, it will not be as nice as your ibiza was. If you're looking for something low stress and reliable a Toyota Yaris or Honda Jazz is the right call (or Corolla/Auris and Civic if you want to go bigger) if you want something good to drive a Mini (parts are expensive though) or Ford Fiesta/Focus. If you really liked your Ibiza just find another one. There should be plenty of cars available for all these models at under 3k. Wildcard option, you could definitely find a nice Saab 9-3 for less than 3k

[@andyknight794]

Oh my gosh you replied 😮 🎉🎉 thanks so much 👍😮​@BuckleUpShow

[@jermaine___]

checking the mot it probably appears this car in particular has been scrapped😢

[@BuckleUpShow]

Having driven it I think that's for the best

[@jackryan905]

That's a cool Jacket

[@BuckleUpShow]

Is it though?

[@oliverstemp9132]

Testing the glove box was like Tiff Nedell in 1994

[@nickaustin8334]

I just bought one. It's pretty quick off the mark, frugal and terrible in corners. Also has possibly the crappiest dashboard I've ever encountered

[@BuckleUpShow]

The dashboard is marginally better than a Renault of the same age

[@reedcarpenter2994]

Would insurance be higher on these or lower?

[@BuckleUpShow]

Higher or lower than what?

[@reedcarpenter2994]

@@BuckleUpShow well in your review you mention that “most important if the insurance rates are good” I was wondering if the rates were usually an issue.

[@BuckleUpShow]

For a young driver this will be cheaper to insure than the equivalent Vauxhall Corsa of Ford Fiesta. But insurance on all cars is extortionately high for young drivers, especially teenagers.

[@peacockking3687]

Did Kia even have a styling department when this was made?

[@oliverstemp9132]

The styling department were still just collecting pictures of all the cars in the class and putting them together, the result was a new car

[@BuckleUpShow]

Apparently so

[@alleywatch22]

Could have washed the car first before doing your video ?

[@BuckleUpShow]

No, not really, not my car and it was only available for a certain amount of time
