#111 of 145 That's exactly what Kia by iluvmysephia1 Nov 18, 2005 (3:08 pm)
was going for...the hatchback look, more sporty and less conventional "station-wagonish". They both look good, really. chuck1959, I'm glad you like your 2004 Kia Rio Cinco. I like them, I remember sitting in one in 2001 when we bought our Sportage 4x4 and thinking it felt kind of cramped in the cabin. That was the first model year for the Rio Cinco if memory is serving me correctly. I wasn't in there long, though, my wife wanted the Sportage 4x4 and that was the rig I wanted the most, too, so I was very distracted. I may test drive soon at my nearby Pocatello dealer and see how the new Rio's rate for inside room. It looks like it would be big enough for us.
#112 of 145 Low Front end by chuck1959 Dec 26, 2005 (11:03 am)
I have a 2004 Kia Rio Cinco. It seems to hit bottom when I go down a low drive or hit a dip. Does this happen to anyone else? Also has anyone got better MPG by turning off the o/d while city driving and turn it back on when in the freeway/highway? I have also found it to have better pick up with the o/d off.

Replying to: pizzadriver (Jul 08, 2004 10:51 pm) I have an 03 purchased new in 04. So far so good. I haul around grandsons and all their equipment and it works out fine. VEry dependable. Had a window problem and it was fully repaired at no charge. My question to all is: when the car was in the shop I rented a car from a rental agency. I forgot all my manuals, car papers, title and many other things in the glove box. I've been trying to trace it but no luck. That car has been to so many places. How do I replace a manual for the Kia? I have the 100,000 guarantee and don't have any of the [phone numbers or contacts for that. Also have the satellite location thingy and all that paper work is gone. Any idea how I replace these things? Thanks.

Replying to: corbeka (Apr 01, 2006 7:00 pm) Oddly enough my owners manual along with everything else was stolen out of my glove box when mine was broken into. I got my replacement on E-bay. Just do a search under "(whatever year) Kia owners manual and you should find one. I believe a '03, '04, and '05 are all the same. I got lucky and found one for my year model (2004). Good luck. By the way I was able to get it for 15 bucks. Replies to this message: corbeka (Apr 02, 2006 10:37 am)

Replying to: chuck1959 (Apr 01, 2006 9:10 pm) Thanks Chuck, never thought of E-Bay. I guess I'll call the dealer to see if the other stuff is available - like copies of the 100,000 guarantee? Sorry you lost all your stuff. That happened to me with my other car. Months later the police dept. in the town next to mine called and said they had some of my paperwork. Sure enough, there it was. Just never know.

I just bought an 2003 cinco, w/18186 miles on it for 6900, it has A/C, Stereo, CD, auto trans,, seems to be in very very good condition... I figured by now, people who have the 03 should have all the problems figured out and what to watch for...any insight on this,,, was that a decent price?? thank you Replies to this message: corbeka (Apr 08, 2006 9:08 am) chuck1959 (Apr 08, 2006 2:34 pm)

Replying to: sknipster (Apr 07, 2006 9:18 am) Been trying to answer but my computer doesn't like this site????You got a good deal on your Kia. You paid 1/2 of what I paid for the same car new. I've only had to change oil and filters. The window did fall into the door and had to be repaired but that was at no charge. Wish you well with your Kia. Oh, due to the car being so low, I finally lost the plate that was under the car - I assume to keep moisture and dirt out of the engine? iT WAS DRAGGING FOR A few days and a neighbor took pity on me and removed it. Hope its not one of those things that you "have" to have. Replies to this message: chuck1959 (Apr 08, 2006 2:34 pm)

I have to be careful or the front hits. Is there a way to make it higher?I have a 2004.
