Generally they are cheaper.

Eg I found out now they use 195/55/R16, a Toyo NE03 is RM215 : https://www.mudah.my/Tayar+Swift+Honda+CRZ+...16-56140716.htm

If you change to something more common like 205/55/R16, there's much more choices and decent price for proper brands available.

Previously 205/45/R17, a Toyo (not mentioned) is RM270, same shop : https://www.mudah.my/Tayar+Baru+Jazz+City+V...17-68451803.htm

Of course there's cheaper option for this 17" size too, mostly weird brand rarely heard. Familiar brand that's cheaper is very limited, eg this Hankook for RM205 :

But otherwise, other established like Yokohama, Dunlop, Michelin are way more premium.

last year i buy rio 4 speed..after discount i got only 69xxx otr..

Get the picanto if you want a mini car. The rio is an over priced slow poke. Obviously you can see the rio owner's here have a higher fuel consumption at 12 to 14 compared to my cerato 10.3.

Where as those formers saying there's parts problem just wanna ask which year are you in now.

ecu damage...5k ya....
fuel gauge sensor buoy damanged...cannot change ya.

Is there a best Android head unit for Rio Sedan 2007? I am temporarily looking at the XTRONS PST90RO3K_L, I like all the features it has like DSP. But I am worries if I will lose any original radio features after upgrading? Any suggestions? Thanks.

Got one double din from XTRONS couple of years ago, it was a decent unit with all the features i needed, Android system, navigation, DAB,handfree, i sold my car so the unit was gone with the car. I kind of like XTRONS and think about getting a new unit from XTRONS, this PST90RO3K looks amazing, i have emailed xtrons customer service for some advice.

Love my XTRONS unit too. Appealing looks. Great sound quality and performance. Many features and expandability options. It comes with equalizer bands, for the audio enthusiast, this will give you the granularity to tweak your sound at all frequency levels. XTRONS is an excellent choice and upgrade to your car stereo. They are reasonably priced

Hi all,

Am considering to get a small car for my daughter. Am interested with Picanto or Rio year make 2013-2014. May I know how's the availability of spare parts considering wear and tear would be more for a 10 yr old car. How reliable is Kia models?

I'm an owner of Rio UB SX 2014 - Still going strong even though the car is close to 10 years.

Spareparts are not an issue, at least for me. Only issue was the ECU (gear stuck at 3rd gear) and apart from that, nothing major.

Did you manage to get your ECU fixed?

Any Ali Ah Chong workshop also can get spare parts?

why would you choose this car? a myvi is better if reliability is a concern.

Too many Myvis around and not cheap even if 2nd hand.

I like the the newer Kia design style. I also always thought and read that the newer Korean makes are quite reliable. Used to own a Hyundai Accent for 7 years, only did regular service.

Korean and china car plz avoid like plague

new car smell > 2nd hand female teacher owner

As a fellow parent I would suggest getting her a newer car which is safer and reliable.

Haha, why Korean cars? That bad? lol

How is too many Myvis a downside? You get more spare parts supply and this also means there is better repair shops availability. You want to drive a reliable car or be unique? There is a price to pay for being special in owning a car.

A Myvi is expensive? It's the most popular car in Malaysia, maybe it's highly sought after for a reason? When your daughter wants to upgrade and I think a Myvi will still fetch a good price whereas a Kia... Just be glad that if someone is even willing to take it off your hands.

I have not owned a Hyundai or Kia but they do not have a good reputation. Their rep is so bad that the new accent / avante / sonata is nowhere to be seen. I am not sure about your thought process but you do you.

My Rio faced some issue with the engine light appearing lately. Asking me to change the engine oil when due is another few thousand Km more.

When that appears, my steering seem very tight and my car unable to accelerate . Not sure why tho but anyone can assist? Tq
