Happy with my 2013. I'm 6'3" and with the seat back to my comfort driving position the person behind has little room but i can move up a few inches and still have a relatively comfortable drive. Also on the passenger side i can adjust the front seat forward so that my knees are close but do not touch the dash and in that seat position i can then sit comfortably behind the passenger seat as well without my head touching the roof. The back seat is meant for only 2 adults but 3 children would fit fine, two regular size adults and a small child in the middle would fit but i wouldn't do this for long drives. ECO mode is great for city driving and does help with fuel economy although it will be sluggish in ECO mode, turn it off if you need to get to higher speeds quickly. I must say once you are inside it does not feel like a sub compact but a compact. Fold in mirrors and manual shift paddles are nice options but will not be used by most people. The seats themselves are very comfortable for me, i like the seat to feel a little stiff and not too soft, the headrest is also perfect for me and it is adjustable in 4 different positions from back to forward as well as in height. After a 6 hr drive in the car i had little discomfort. My one complaint would have to be the braking, it does not respond as quickly as i'm used to but it's not bad either.

It looks like a subcompact hatchback.

Actually in Germany the Ceed has benn compared with the Golf and won, as it can be found in the AutoBild. The Rio runs in the class of the Polo, Fiesta, Corsa etc. over here.

My family has a 2012 Kia Rio Hatchback (as seen in the video), but in white. It has black and red perforated leather seats, LED interior lights and a sunroof. In addition, it has a single-zone automatic climate control, keyless entry and push button start, an aftermarket bodykit and aftermarket wheels. The only downside to my family's Kia Rio Hatchback is that it does not come with a reverse camera.

I have lived in a place where Renaults are sold and I dont understand why they dont sell here in the U.S. because they are great cars, kind of like European Hondas, they last a long time. On the other hand, I appreciate the variety of cars and engines we have. I admit that many times a V8 is unnecessary, but I wouldn't want to live in a country full of 1.4L engines or so. But we do need more diesels.

1.6L engine? The Kia USA site says it only comes with a max of a 1.4. I'm a little annoyed that the USA gets the option of all leather trim, a reversing camera and the active eco-mode. Though, ours in the UK gets better MPG, full auto-aircon and is stupidly cheap (top end model is only £13k). Still, its annoying that we don't have the extra options.

Hey everyone, I had one quick question. When I was looking into buying a car the Kia Rio was one of the cars I looked into. The base hatchback model due to budget. I found the car pretty cool and everything except for one main issue. I found the suspension to be absolutely horrific. The tiniest bump and you would just about hit your head on the roof. (being 6ft tall). Has anyone in the base model had the same issue? and for those that have the upgraded trim levels, is the suspension any better than the base? Just curious, thanks
@timkrueger863810 жыл бұрын
I'm a 6 footer, and live in a rough road state. I've never had any problem at all with the suspension, unless its a really steep/deep pothole or something. I even thought it was really secure feeling when I took it through a mountain pass over 100 miles long, steep descent, high speed sweeping corners etc. FYI I have the EX 6AT 5 door hatch. 40,000 miles in, and absolutely no buyer's remorse.

In Europe there is a version of the rio with a diesel engine. it has 104 hp and it can go 100km (or 60 miles) on 3.2 liters (or roughly about 3/4 of a galon). If the US is in such a big crisis concerning gas prices why don't they sell this 66MPG variant in the states. i get that people are all running arround and saying "Oh no! gas is $4 a gallon. Well, in Serbia a liter is 155 dinars and 70 dinars is a dollar making it about $2 a liter making it about $8 a gallon. And you thought it's bad!
