Used Car Review - Kia Rio (2000-2005)
Car Choices:
If your mind dictates that you get a first generation Rio, go for the hatchback for numerous reasons. The powerful but unrefined 1.5 106hp gasoline is standard. While it has extra grunt, drive carefully since road ruts can be transmitted to the driver.
This configuration adds power windows, power mirrors, power door locks, alloy wheels, 60/40 folding rear bench, rear wiper and washer, driver's side airbag, and cassette player with CD.
