probably due to the 4AT.

Now got 6AT should be a marked improvement in fuel economy, but I guess will not be as good as Vios or City.

Honestly I find the Rio to be very handsome. I would seriously consider buying if only it is at least a 1.6NA or small turbocharged engine.

Honestly if all you want is safety and stability, get an Iriz

At least you are saving almost 20k there

Jazz is good because of FC and massive space/practicality
New Vios also looks good since there 7 airbags and RCTA/BSA
Mazda is a drivers car, a bit niche since it’s tiny af

Rio is all over the place, looks aggressive but slow af and heavy FC
At least Iriz has a good ride and handling with decent FC and power, plus cheaper

but korean cars are durable. fuel saving too.

mostly says rio fc heavy?

Any rio owners can clarify? specifically for the 2014 sx series.

Go with Honda la

better buy second hand latest 2016-2017 hyundai sonata.. 70k still got 3 to 4 years warranty...if previous owner send to hyundai sc.

why not buy suprimak turbo ? takut bocor issit

rio is nice car

Mad price for a korean crap. My as well get Myvi full spec. Way way better car. And parts are plenty. Cheap and easy to maintain.

Say No to korean cars

Why dont top up get cerato? Now only RM 85000++. Much better value than rio.

Currently am driving a rio sedan. Based on the previous rio UB gen.

So far loving my ride, its been 2 years already.

I bought it end of the year as well and got great discounts, almost RM 13 k discount (back in 2016)

It's true that resale value sucks, due to the huge discounts that some dealers are giving.

And FC won't be as good as Japs (I am clocking 12-14 km/L consistently for mix driving condition)

But driving experience have been really great so far.

Previously I was driving Almera for 3 years, gave me so many problems. Cooling coil rosak, belting crack, wheel bearing got sound.

price confirm liao? give sos

fake news = real news .. like launch date

KIA car the gearbox spoil so easily

You experienced such things? which model of kia?

Yes. that is just rrp, havent deduct sa discount.

should at least put 1.6L engine, baru laa umph

recent addition of 6-speed gb is good

but head unit is worse than its lesser bro Picanto, why Kia Malaysia why?

Slap it with AA & CP and buyers are more incentivized to consider lorr

and 80k too high laa - if Kia gives 15k discount then can seriously consider

the head unit is already same as Picanto, even before the refresh. (its available on the refresh last batch)

Naza stupid didnt highlight this

ahh isee, then Kia couldn't be bothered to update its website. So much fail there. Too busy with that wedding I guess lulz

Then it has better proposition than I have expected.

- 6-speed is sufficient for highway cruising
- AA and CP alone are enough to make the in-car media/entertainment experience to today's standards
- space is sufficient for until 2 normal-sized adults + 2 kids
- kinda stands out from the crowd of P2 and Japs counterpart

get a used 1-2 years old kia k5 or k3
