hey guys, i was thinking of getting a 2001-2002 Kia Rio and wasnt sure if these cars are any good?? any opinions would be cool and appreciated. I know these cars use very little gas which is one of the main reasons why id like to purchase a car like this, and theyre very affordable to have around while driving in the city. so leme know whats up boys and gurls...

 

you know hyundai back in the day? even now abit...well kia is the same...WOOD!

 

good warrenty though

 

they need it...cuz wood rots

 

kia and hyundai are the same company... hyundai purchased hyundai in 1998 and I've had 2 hyundai tiburons 97 and 01 and they have both been excellent... my step mom has a hyundai elantra gt and loves it ... if your buying a kia ur buying a hyundai

 

hyundai is a good company....who remembers the Pony? i think Hyundai made that, man we use to hav ea pony waayyy back in the day....it lasted...lol

 

ya, I have heard good things about Kia in recent years....also the warrenty is good (but not sure if you get that used).....

 

I like em. The spectra is a really nice every day car. The rio is a little too small unless your buying the wagon even then they are really narrow and crampyIMO

 

You'll need it.

 

Buy a CRV.

 

 

I want a Daewoo Lanos... in Australia they got a whole championship of them

well, I dont' REALLY want it, but if someone gave me one I wouldn't slap them for it. What I want is a couple more Hondas

 

Oops...i thought you were talking about the Kia SUV...forget anout a CRV then...LOL

 

then get leitner to build up another b20 vtec engine and pop it in

 

you should by one and then do this to it

that looks nice, but im not looking to lose more $ by spending it on modding a kia....its good for work and driving, you know...

 

all i gotta say is make sure you dont lose the warrenty

 

buy a civic! no kia crap

 

Buy a WRX... or maybe an STI... you'll never be happy with a Kia...

Oh screw it, you may as well just pick up an Escalade if you're getting a new car...



Kia's are nice little rides for what they are... they have crappy resale value, so you better plan on driving it into the ground just in case.

 

WRX, specially the STI are in different classes than a kia rio......
