#56 of 145 02 Rio Cinco questions by deluxekitty101 May 23, 2002 (4:45 pm)
How can I find out what company actually manufactures the engines and auto-transaxles in the 2002 Rio Cinco? Or to rephrase can anyone here tell me who manufatures the above, Sephias and others are not a Kia product is what many have told me .I came to ask that question but now I see the 03 will be a 1.6 litre engine? So the 2002 Cinco is a one year only engine? Who manufactures the newest 1.6 that will be in the 2003's?

The engines in th'02 are Mazda Based lic products. The engines in the '03 are the same that are used in Hyundai accents-Mists lic.

Actually, the 1.5 liter engine is a Kia-made engine. It is their own design. The new 1.6 liter in the 03 models is Hyundai's Alpha engine. This engine is Hyundai's own design. Kia does not use Mazda-designed engines in their cars anymore (I'm not totally sure where the Sportage's 4-cylinder comes from) and hasn't used them since 1997. Hyundai no longer uses Mitsubishi-designed engines. They stopped using them with the redesign of the Sonata in 99.

IS still a Mazda engine. It's a FE3 Block, with a head of Kia's own design. This engine was used in the Mazda Truck, The B2000, if I'm not mistaken.
#60 of 145 Add ons and extras by aut2no Aug 25, 2002 (7:16 pm)
Right now I'm looking for a new car and it looks like it's going to be a Rio RX-V (Cinco).   I'm having problems deciding between a 2002 or a 2003 (so far it looks like the later), and finding add ons and upgrade parts for it on the net.     Can any one out there help me?
#61 of 145 Price Increase for 2003 by bored Aug 31, 2002 (7:36 am)
Well, if you want a lower price, go for the 2002. The 2003's will have I believe a 8% increase in price.   If you want looks, and power, go for the 2003. It's got the new redesign, and a new Engine with a 10% increase in power.
#62 of 145 thanks by aut2no Sep 06, 2002 (11:38 pm)
Thanks for the advise but I've already got the 2002. It was C$2000 less and it was on the lot with in 3 days.   The more power would be nice, and as far as I can tell it may be a better engine (Hyundai used it for years). I am happy with the zip that it does have however. To be honest... I like the looks of the 2002 better.   Even thogh comparitevly the 2003 is superior I am quit happy with my car.   But once again, thanks.
#63 of 145 2003 KIA RIO RX-V conv pkg by bigmusclepaul Nov 20, 2002 (8:35 pm)
Hey everyone, I'm considering buying a new 2003 Kia Rio RX-V conv. package (different from the 2002 models). Looks like a good deal at $16,150 CDN (5 sp., a/c, pw, pdl, pm, cd, alloys, roof rack), and Kia of Burnaby (Vancouver Metro area)is throwing in 5 years scheduled maintenance (oil changes, brakes, exhaust, tune-ups, even wiper blades) to match the warranty. I'm jumping from a 2001 Volvo S60 (lost it - and lots more - in the divorce...) Should I jump?
