I have taken a look at the '06 Kia Rio and it was also a black one. Sharp looking car and although I only looked at it from the outside I can see that it's a cool car. Your pictures are nice and it looks like Kia has really made a great little car that the masses can afford. Hence, there's a big part of the reason I like and respect Kia Motors so much. Do you like the factory stereo in there? Do you have enough headroom and legroom? For $12,000 and side curtains and side airbags standard that's a great deal. Don't forget about the Long Haul Warranty, either. Oh, it does work for you, too. Just keep up on your maintenance and you'll be fine. Congratulations! I will keep the '06 Kia Rio 4-door sedan on my futures list and continue to follow the Kia success story as they move ahead.

the black interiors and I think that black would be a natural for a black '06 Kia Rio sedan. I am amazed how cool a color black looks on this '06 Kia Rio sedan! I have seriously added a 5-speed black '06 Kia Rio sedan, with A/C and competent factory stereo to my futures list. I wouldn't absolutely require power W/D/M's, either. I would need A/C and I wouldn't need ABS, unless all '06 Rio's get ABS standard. I've added the black '06 Kia Rio sedan to my computer's background Windows page, eliminating the 2007 Toyota Yaris 4-door that had held that spot for several months. The low Rio price (even if it ends up being $13,299 or so) before tax and license is also very attractive. I like the 2006 Hyundai Accent a lot, too, but I really like how Kia has prepared this '06 Rio for us. Very, very nice.

Has anyone else realized the seeming overlap between the Rio and Spectra, at least as far as pricing goes. The '06 Rio LX with power package MSRP is $13,585 (TMV $13,441) and the '06 Spectra EX MSRP is $14,840 (TMV $14,006). Just an observation.

Replying to: backy (Nov 06, 2005 7:48 pm) Tempting....but if the Sephia I once rented (they had nothing else avaiable and I was anxious to try it out) is any indication of what to expect in a Rio, I'll pass. Worst car I ever drove. Has tainted me against Kia. So what's changed since then? Hopefully Hyundai will steer clear of em. They've got a chance against the Japanese.

Replying to: goodegg (Nov 06, 2005 8:48 pm) It's far removed from the Sephia. LOTS has changed since then. For one thing, Kia shares some platforms with Hyundai, and the '06 Rio is based on the same platform as the '06 Accent. Why not take a new Rio or Rio5 for a drive before assuming it's a piece of junk? You might be pleasantly surprised. |
