#59 of 145 The Sportage's Engine by bored Aug 20, 2002 (1:04 pm)
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?

#65 of 145 I would be the last person around to try and talk you out of by iluvmysephia1 Nov 21, 2002 (10:05 pm)
it bigmusclepaul! Question: is this a Rio wagon(Rio Cinco) or a version of the Rio sedan? A sedan with several new options included as part of the package?
#66 of 145 Rio RX-V by bigmusclepaul Nov 24, 2002 (8:26 pm)
In the US it's called the Cinco, in Canada it's simply the RX-V. However, equipment levels are different in Canada, and the 2003 RX-V conv. pkg includes alloy rims, roof rack, fog lights, power windows, mirrors and door locks, cd player and keyless entry
#67 of 145 Anyone have stalling problems? by ggrio Feb 05, 2003 (10:51 pm)
First let me say that I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE my Rio Cinco! We bought her at the end of June '02 and I've never been happier. I have had a couple minor trim issues but now it's got a new trick. It's stalled out twice on me. Both times at or near a stop (crawling on LA fwy & at a stop sign). I have never ever had a new car and this scares me. I'm just wondering if anyone else has had or heard of this happening. 'She' has an appointment on Monday.
#68 of 145 What Problems have you had? by freddy_k May 02, 2003 (6:46 am)
Refreshing this topic-   Some of you have had your Rio Wagons for a while now and I am just about to get one myself.   Some of these posts have been amusing, but I can take it wih a smile. I know that this car is no BMW, and I know it contains very little in the way of performance - these are not things I'm looking for in the car, I know it's not possible at this price. So lets look at things in a more realistic sense.   What problems have you had? I'm talking about big mechanical problems like engine and tranny, small glitches like windows, seals, squeaks and rattles, or even little things like knobs falling off or paint pealing. What has gone wrong with your KIA Rio? If nothing has gone wrong then I want to here that to, but please be honest, you can like your car and still admit the problems - no car is perfect. Thanks!
