If your priority is safety, stability, gadgets, then it is a good choice.
If your priority is Resell Value, Fuel Consumption, Honda/Toyota that way -->

so it really does worth it? ayam a toyota fan but looking at the "all-new vios" is really a heart breaker.

this


Naza Kia mistake with the Rio is giving it the puny 1.4 engine. But for the facelift they changed the 4 speed gb to 6 speed at least, and they downgrade the rim size from 17 inch which is overkill for B segment to 16 inch. Not sure how much improvements these made but the underlying problem is still the small engine

1.6 MPI or 1.2 turbo would've been perfect


ride and handling, fit and finish quality is beyond Honda and Toyota

The 6-speed gearbox is the one that really tempting me. but yea, the 1.4 engine really is a down side.

although can't afford it, find rio quite handsome, but heard the previous rio fuel consumption quite bad.
