Replying to: iluvmysephia1 (Nov 06, 2005 11:02 am) When i owned my 04 kia rio, my husband could not stretch his leg all the way out causing him to ride the clutch alot without meaning to. (hes 6'2) With this 06, (which was one of the reasons i really bought it) he can actually stretch his legs out. Not all the way still, but alot more and he has more room to move around. It seems like they're making the rios more of a family sedan than just an A-B car. which is great. As for the headroom i never really noticed having a problem with that in the 04 or 06. I mean, nowadays with the prices of cars, im really satisfied with the 06. specially since i only paid 12,000 for it. im sure if i would have went to buy a honda civic(which i have nothing against)with the same features, it probably would have been alot more.  As for the airbags, they also have a safety feature for children (or in my case my dog). If someone is sitting in the passenger seat under 70 lbs,a light comes up above the radio indicating that the passanger airbag is off. This is for if a child is sitting in the front, which they shouldnt be anyways, the airbag does not go off to cause further damage in case of an accident.

Yeah, I have a Kenwood stereo in my '01 Kia Sportage 4x4 and it's great. The '06 Kia Rio sounds great and when I go to shop for a car that may be the one I get. The black color looks good on the new Rio. The back seat is for our dogs so it looks like they'll get plenty of room plus they'll be able to look out the rear Rio windows just fine. Keep us up-to-date on any new happenings with your '06 Kia Rio sedan, OK? I really like the new Rio look. Kia has it nailed down well on the styling. I love that high beltline in the rear-it really has the European look to it. These Rio's are selling like hotcakes in Europe for Kia and so are the new Kia Picanto's, their new microcar. We'd have to decide on the larger Sportage or the smaller Rio but the better gas mileage of the Rio has me interested.

dealer just got a 2006 Kia Rio5, too, also in the orange-ish red color. It looks great. The car stands out and looks really sharp in comparison to the Kia Spectra5 that they park right by the Rio5. The Rio5 I saw is a 5-speed manual and it is loaded, the sticker says around $14,195. It has the 5-spoke alloys and that swoosh at the rear end of the Rio5 on both sides( taillights)looks really impressive. The Rio5 is fully loaded with airbag protection, too. I'll be checking their lot often for updates. |

 Courtesy of Kia Motors America I like the Midnight Black version of the '06 Kia Rio sedan, although I prefer the Kia factory 5-spoke alloy wheels that are offered. Getting the alloys at deal time wouldn't be totally necessary, though. Wheels can always be switched out later. |
