#477 of 605 Re: Where is the RIO5 [chuck1959] by riomike May 14, 2006 (7:32 pm)
Replying to: chuck1959 (May 13, 2006 5:35 am) They are plentiful in South Florida. I have two and my grandfather 1 (all 06 Rio5's). We have about 7 or 8 Kia dealers within 25 miles radius and I pass most on a weekly basis and see plenty of Rio5's. In fact Phil Smith Kia in Pompano Beach has 3 in Sunset Orange and 1 Saphire Blue out front. Maybe you should fly out here and drive back with one!
#480 of 605 Plenty of Rio5's in Madison WI... by b3nut May 18, 2006 (3:05 pm)
There must be over a dozen on the lot at Russ Darrow Kia in Madison, I was just there for an oil change on my Rio5 (right after picking it up from the body shop next door, they did a great job, it's like the hailstorm never happened!). They do seem to be moving quite a few Spectras, though.   I'm seeing more and more of the little Rios (both the 5 and the sedan) on the road around here, popular little car. I wonder why they're so thin at some dealers...   Todd in Beerbratistan

I'm starting to see a few more '06 Rio's, but not a lot of them yet out on the roads of SE Idaho and western Wyoming, greater Yellowstone area.   My wife and I went to Yellowstone Park, The Grand Tetons and Jackson, WY, yesterday and I saw a 2006 Kia LX sedan in silver at a strip mall. I think it was in Jackson, WY, I don't recall which town along the way. But it looked awesome! I still am thinking about getting a Rio, we're just getting full usage out of our '01 Sportage 4x4 and still enjoying it so much it gives me ample time to study people's likes and dislikes about these new offerings.   BTW-Yellowstone is brimming with buffalo and deer and elk and plenty of bison babies grazing alongside their mommies! We got plenty of pictures. BTW, if you are the type that feels cheated if you dont get to see live bears and wolves inside the park, there's a place at West Yellowstone, MT, that you can pay a fee and go in and watch them in their natural-type habitat. We passed on it but both agreed it will be fun to come back and see later.   Yellowstone and the Tetons were stunning in their display of natural beauty. Old Faithful blew as planned and was fun to see. What a smart and wonderful idea it was to set aside this fantastic block of land for the first National Park in America. And we're only 150 miles from it! Replies to this message: riomike (May 20, 2006 7:45 am) yeddo (May 24, 2006 6:02 am)
#482 of 605 Rios on the lot by riomike May 20, 2006 (7:45 am)
Replying to: iluvmysephia1 (May 19, 2006 1:12 pm) Just got my oil change at King Auto Mall in Ft Lauderdale. They sell Kia, Suzuki, Dodge and Saturn. They had about half a dozen Rio LX's on the lot mostly silver. Not one had power package. As for the Rio 5 they had four, all manual no power package. The sales manager told me they have been selling two or three a week which is not so bad. Surprising thing is that they are selling twice as much Suzuki as Kia. On a national level the opposite is true.

Replying to: iluvmysephia1 (May 19, 2006 1:12 pm) I'm so jealous...i love Yellowstone. Unlike you, I'm in Chicago so it's a little more than a day trip for me. Hmmmmm...but it IS a good chance to see how the Rio5 does on the road. You're giving me ideas.

yeah, my wife and I bought the year pass for American National Parks so we can get in to some parks in Utah, too. The pass is $50. You can buy a day pass for just getting into Yellowstone for $40, IIRC.   It's awesome, the 2006 Kia Rio5 would make a great travel buggy for you to get here, too.   We're going to The Drive-By Truckers and The Black Crowes concert there at Jackson, WY, on August 10th. That's probably the next time we'll be coming over to the Yellowstone area. Jackson is about 140 miles from us here in Pocatello, ID. Yep, Chicago is a bit of a cruise but it'll be worth the trip! Enjoy your Rio5!
#486 of 605 Rio advice needed. by phaine May 30, 2006 (3:18 pm)
The lease on my 2001 Chrysler Neon is going to expire soon and I am VERY interested in buying a 2006 Kia Rio. My question is, what are the advantages/disadvantages of buying a sedan over the hatchback or vice versa. Basically, I want a car to haul groceries and shopping. I am a girl in my twenties and I need a car that will hold lots of shopping In your opinion, is the cargo area of the hatchback bigger and therefore better or is the trunk of the sedan the way to go? I know it's 'personal preference' question, however, I really would love everyone's feedback. Thank you all in advance for your output.   Btw, I had a so so experience with the Neon. I really can't wait to return it to the dealer.
