The Rio hatchback design is quite Hnngghhh for me....the sedan doesn't have the same effect on me

The Rio sedan with body kit actually enhances the look and gives it a more sporty feel. What do you think from the photos below?

from side looks ok, but sports rim design could be better as it looks not so proportion.
no direct rear photo?

Don't have any rear shot apart from the one posted, but will try to get one and upload it later. Here is another shot from the Kia Rio Sedan (X variant) catalogue (fitted with body kit , leather seat and DVD player (with built in GPS).

Kia cars looks nice but when daily use not that nice.
Rio was voted the most regret purchase by many owners. Try find in youtube

by which country? korea?

IInm maybe voted by aussie

I think we need to look at it objectively as such votes are based on prices, specs and what the competitors are offering in that particular country. It is all relative to what value it is being offered in that particular market. Just my 2 cents.

overall... i feel kia rio sedan... and the specs vs money is quite ok for a B-segment car.... but I had always been bias towards Kia be it cerato k3 or k5.. i preferred kia over hyundai.... if talking only about B-segment... underpower or whatever handling issue.... i dont think the T and H handling and performance were really doing extremely better also... its just a B-segment car after all.... other than value for money and RV... i wont even bother commenting about engine performance or handling issues...

guys, wanna ask some opinion. currently there are offer for this model. RM66k OTR. I find this price very attractive for this type of car.

could somebody advise whether this deal is worth it?

you can Buydirect..... he might have better deal for this car for you..... hahahah....

but anyhow... if you doesn't emphasize on brand names.... or maybe super huge space with higher a bit engine power... i still feel this car is worth the price.... rm66k the spec better than almera... at this price point... almera 1.5 also underpower like hell.... at this price point... u can only get a kosong almera.... so its okay to go on with kia rio sedan....

What about maintenance? Does this car have a lot of problem or kacau here and there?

May I know the difference between Rio sedan and the discontinued Rio hatchback EX (apart from body / boot space of course)? Any update to Rio sedan in features?

from the kia rio page... doesnt seems to be lot of problems.... maintenance might be slightly higher than Japanese car... but consider it as B-segment... the fees difference is negligible.... the only think that concern when buying a new korean car is after sales services... but i believe there also good workshops out there if you find hard enough... every brand will have their own bad workshop as well to be fair...
