#404 of 605 Re: Well...wish me luck [b3nut] by riomike Mar 16, 2006 (6:00 am)
Replying to: b3nut (Mar 16, 2006 5:20 am) I love my Rio5 (white) so much that when I bought the 2006.5 Optima LX last week and gave the Rio5 to my wife I was so jealous. I know it sounds nuts but I missed my Rio and couldnt fully enjoy the Optima. So I signed the Optima over to my in-laws last night and went out and bought another Rio5. This one is in Saphire Blue and you are right, that's one sweet color. Maybe I am obsessed with Rio5 and my pals think I am nuts for giving away the Optima (BTW they are taking over the payments they dont get it for free!).   You are also right that its comfy because as I mentioned before, I am 6'3 and have more than ample space in Rio5. Anyway the Optima was getting poor gas mileage and I dont like the feel of a heavy car. My in-laws like heavy cars becasue until it died last week they were driving a 1986 Cutlass Supreme. Compared to optima (which was very comfy as well) Rio5 is light and peppy and a pleasure to drive. No wonder it won a couple of most improved car awards for 2006.   Good luck Todd!!
#405 of 605 Blue it is! by b3nut Mar 16, 2006 (1:10 pm)
Looking out my window at it now. Just have to do some final paper signing when my wife gets off work, and my plates will go on it and it'll be mine and the bank's! So far I'm enjoying the car...driving it to Michigan tomorrow. Gonna have to vary my speed a lot for break-in, but between Madison and Chicago you'll vary the speed enough for anything. Just wish it wasn't snowing...OTOH it's not nearly as bad as the weatherman was claiming, so I can't complain too much. Darn good little car, and I'm glad I went Sapphire Blue.   Todd in Cheesecurdistan
#406 of 605 Congrats! by iluvmysephia1 Mar 16, 2006 (1:27 pm)
Enjoy your Rio5, b3nut. I think you made a great choice.   We're holding onto our '01 Kia Sportage 4x4, it is just too handy to get rid of with eastern Idaho's snowy winters. It will work out great if we go off-road a tad in the spring and summer, too.   But I have kept the '06 Rio's and the '06 Scion xA on my potential futures list and will enjoy reading and learning aobut them as time goes on.   Do publish your driving experiences in here, b3nut, OK? Excellent choice. BTW-the 2006 Kia Rio5 is one of Motor Trend's top 28 cars of 2006. It out-braked the Mitsu Eclipse and out-slalomed the 2006 Audi 3, IIRC!   I still may be heading the Rio5 direction later on!
#407 of 605 Shame by tomsr1 Mar 16, 2006 (6:32 pm)
I spotted the weirdest thing today.Someone had put a FORD blue oval emblem over the KIA emblem on their sportage. It will probably cause the Sportage to be (Found on road dead).
