Why this Kia Rio is the best FIRST CAR for every Young Working Nigerian

[@Gocegeruan]

Surprisingly I have a Kia Rio and I will buy again as it’s the best car I’ve driven..I love reliability and not comfort. I prefer a Kia RiO that will not over heat even if the A/C is on and its not moving than any other comfortable SUV that you will have to put off just to prevent overheating. Secondly is that this car on a good day will take you to maiduguri and back with full AC On.. Na just fuel u go need to top up. Thirdly, if you buy this car, be rest assured that the Original Catalytic Converter and other electronic gadgets will still be there unlike Tokunbos To address the challenges you’ve mentioned, lemme prefer some solutions that I’ve done. 1. For the low bumper; As you aware, the car comes with a 185/65/15 Tyre..it’s advisable to discard the tyres after use and upgrade to a 195/65/15 rim tyre.. this will lift the car up a little and give it more space between the ground..Ensure you go for wheel alignment and Balance after changes and check tyre pressure after every 5K km. 2. For the Radio display, there is a sticker that comes with it.. don’t be quick to remove it..it protects the screen..if yours removes then look for a big transparent celotape.. double up and tape..in general, don’t be quick to remove the transparent stickers, there’s also one on the dashboard and other places. For that one u used.. something sharp must have definitely hit the LED display. I doubt it just started like that, hence u need a first layer for protection. 3. For the trottling.. that’s as a result of overspeeding..lol..we too de speed with the car hence the carbon build up in the mouth or exhaust..key is to loose the mouth port.. drive around and blow out carbon for a while and it’s back to normal… and also ensure you tell the service center technicians to service the injector nozzles and throttle sensor. 4. For the Truck, this is a general problem. Since most cars are under warranty for 5yrs..just jejely carry am go Kia center even before it’s start and request for change. It will be done free of charge. Ans finally the new Kia Rio is K5.. the design is funny shaa but a sweet ride..if you get 20 Milla.. you can go for it..Lol!! Keep it up @234 Drive…You’re the best! I hope this highlights suffices.👍

[@234drive]

This is the best comment ever!

[@sjpaul19]

Crank, please take note of this comment. Correct analysis. I’ve been using mine for almost 2 years. And I also agree, the screen issue is a maintenance issue. It’s not general. Throttle issue has also been addressed by Godwin. For the bumper, Ahnahn…there will always be low cars, I haven’t dented mine and have travelled well with it traversing terrible roads. Again, it’s the driver. My friend got K5 for 11m

[@chukwuebukagabriel6650]

Does the above challenges and analysis apply to Kia 2004 model? If not, could you please let me know the challenges of Kia 2004 model

[@kyrianpaul2992]

Crank, na because of you I dey watch this your channel because you didn't copy foreigners in your kind of review. You just know what the average Nigerian wants to know about a vehicle....Keep it up👍

[@234drive]

Haha, thank you for your support sir

[@emmanuelcbenson]

Great video. What gives me joy is that a Nigerian who can relate is doing a relatable review video

[@awesamuel9526]

Same here

[@Damilare0]

Finally my baby has been reviewed Your review is accurate, the bumper truly is the first part that comes in contact with our bad roads Asides from that I legit never had any issue with the car. That could be because I never missed my regular 4 month appointment at isolo. Seeing this video just the make me happy. I miss the car sha 😢

[@samade1758]

Nice one crank, when I see the kia rio the first thing that comes to my mind is Access bank!!. Its a very good car if you just need to go from A - B, but its actually a bit costly to maintain, that's if you want to use oem parts as replacements.

[@234drive]

Hmmm thanks for the addition

Hi 234 drive. Must confess you guys are doing are really good work out there gained alot cars since I have started watching your videos. Please can you do a vlog showing what all the lights represent on a car dashboard what it means the damages and how we can prevent see such signs coming up on our car dashboard I drive a Hyundai ix35 2011 model thanks I'll really appreciate ❤️

[@knappar]

I love my kia Rio. Very comfortable car to drive.

[@234drive]

Very comfortable and silent

[@notSeima]

If I may add, as a student driving to school every week day, I used a Peugeot 206 that time. I kid you not I didn't change break pads for the 22months I used the car (Jan 2020- Dec 2021). So please do a video on Peugeot 206.

[@234drive]

206! I love the nimbleness of that car alot...we would look into it soon

[@Alorio-Gori]

Lol i laughed, when you said the way the light is timted and you shouted design. Love the enthusiasm.

[@234drive]

Lmao yh...a little bad boy feature in a good boy car

[@ozahchux3530]

Well-done Crank... It will be better,or rather,more informative if you try to include the average fuel consumption when doing your reviews.Gives the prospertive buyer what he/she is looking at in terms of expenditure on fueling.... Litres/100km will do just fine... Thanks once more

[@234drive]

Hmmm thank you for your feedback, we will work on it.

[@Gocegeruan]

The Kia Rio does between 10~15L /100Km in township/ trunk B& C roads and 7.5~9L/100km in Trunk A / Express roads..

[@utibe007]

Well done 234 Drive team, but I have a suggestion... How about curating your videos into playlists with more relatable names like "Best Budget Cars", "Best Luxury Cars", etc. Your current playlists make it very difficult to figure out the contents. Quick tip, your subscribers will appreciate this better (instead of watching the entire content of some vaguely name playlist before they can figure out what it's all about and if that content speaks to their need at the time). Cheers to the good work!

[@234drive]

We would do that now! Thank you 🙏

[@bestwebguy]

i did my personal research on this care before I found your channel....And I am glad we are speaking the same language.....@234drive keep it up guys!!!!

[@PrinceYanelbg]

Forget about the Wind Noise, This is a GREAT video. Awesome Job 👌

[@LancoDwini]

Nice Video crank. Love the way you explain each feature of the cars you present. Although for this Kia, I don't think the bumper is actually an issue. Na our Government no one repair our roads na why 😄😄. So I believe any low or sport edition car would always have that challenge

[@KevinRichard-vu8ok]

Can you do a video if the Hyundai Elantra pls

[@merrytv1963]

I will choose the Hyundai Elantra limited anytime any day

[@ahmedadewale5869]

I’m falling in love. I’m currently using lexus es300 v6 and I’m 27 so it’s a bit expensive to maintain and attracts police attention. When I bought it it’s for luxury but now that the wahala is much I want to change my priority from luxury to something that can serve me and not expensive to maintain.

[@234drive]

Oh, Lmao. Police will always disturb you if you own an ES350...you can buy a Toyota Avalon, it is a great car with a V6 Engine. Police won't disturb

No sir. The bigger Kia Optima is what is now the Kia K5. In some markets like Ghana, the Kia Rio has been discontinued and replaced with the Kia Pegas.

[@abdulbasitahmed191]

The throttle issue is usually just a clogged throttle body. Nothing a can of injector cleaner won't fix.

@@234drive Mainly engine problem Can’t climb hills and then the ball joint’s( this might be because our street was bad) The acceleration doesn’t respond , right now it’s just there in the garage as one of our achievements tho it’s still starts but can’t move We just gave up and get the 2010 Toyota Avalon and it’s our peace of mind ✅✅

[@Gocegeruan]

@@Royalcrushies so here’s the thing..try and change the throttle sensor, then like I mentioned it usually experiences carbon buildup and block exhaustion.. there and 4 screws just after the O2 sensor covering..call a mechanic to loose them or do that yourself..and after that U start and drive round..there’s going to be a loud noise during initial start, but after then, you’ll notice movement..try this and see…👍👍

[@Gocegeruan]

@@Royalcrushies try the exhaust first before sensor!!!

@@Gocegeruan Obviously our mechanic have been fixing this particular issues for like months now till we give up but someone suggested this to me also last week that the problem might be from there…if this works it’s might really be a miracle 😅😅😅so I guess also the best is to get a mechanic that’s understand Korean car very well especially this KIA but where do I see such mechanics 😂😂😂 all I visited claims they know it but after they touch something else and spoil it 😂
