#45 of 145 My Cinco is a mature Festiva by pizzadriver Feb 27, 2002 (11:14 pm)
I bought a new Rio Cinco last week. It has all the strenghts of the '89 Festiva that I drove for 7 years & 117,000 miles and then sent of to college with our youngest {in '97}. Again, it is an automatic w/air. It scoots through city traffic nicely, behaves well on the freeway. Still no power windows, but it has power locks, a standard rear washer and wiper, a much improved drivers seat {I'm 6'2}. If it's nearly as sturdy as that Festiva was, I'll understand the great warranty. The other pizza drivers I moonlight with are amazed at how much car I got for my money.   I'm happy.

and congrats on your Kia Rio wagon! We look forward to hearing about your ownership experience. If you have a chance, please stop by our Kia Owner's Club and say hello.   Also, I'm sure the participants in our Ford Festiva/Aspire discussion would appreciate your Festiva notes. Use your copy/paste so you don't have to re-write your message. Happy motoring!   Revka Host Hatchbacks & Station Wagons Boards
#47 of 145 BMW,?...nope...Kia by pizzadriver Feb 28, 2002 (11:49 pm)
on a pizza delivry, tonight, a kid complimented me on my "BMW wagon". LOL   When I told him it was a KIA and cost 1/3 of the BMW price, his folks had lot's of questions.
#48 of 145 1st Road Trip by pizzadriver Mar 20, 2002 (10:51 pm)
We took our new Cinco on the road over the St. Patricks Weekend. Omaha to Scottsbluff via I-80 {mostly}, 1100 ft elevation to 4100 ft. Played tourist, came home on side roads through to Sandhills. 30.2 MPG out & 32.3 mpg back.   It was happy doing 75 on the Interstate, but wanted to do it on the side roads too. It handled passing on the side roads pretty well. I hit 90 passing 2 semi's on a down slope.   For 2 "empty nesters" and a 64 lb Boxer,this is all the car we need for trips.   Sue loved the way it handles curves in Nebraska's Sandhills.   Once we added pillows in the rear leg wells, our Pooch was Happy with the back seat.
#49 of 145 Restyled Rio Cinco by netranger4 Mar 28, 2002 (9:27 pm)
An article in the auto.com web page announced that Kia had taken off the wraps on the 2003 Rio Sedan and Cinco Wagon. It sure will be interesting to see what they've done with the car.

Changes will include redesigned front grill, standard power windows, center console, 10 percent increase in horsepower, and optional spoiler. All good!

#54 of 145 Is this the same guy that always asks the same question by iluvmysephia1 Apr 13, 2002 (7:44 am)
about various Kia models? Are you Mr. Nascar or do you just love to race on taxpayer-supported streets?!
