#495 of 605 bass by kneisl1 Jun 01, 2006 (12:19 pm)
WOW! I did an exeperiment with my ECHO and removed the passanger seat and the rear seat cushion and seatbacks. Where the passanger seat was I made a raised platform even with the rear seat foundation. Then I made a bed out of the rear seatbacks. So if I had to I could live in my ECHO and camp out in it.   I can understand why you like the Rio 5 though.
#496 of 605 The hatch was one of the features by b3nut Jun 01, 2006 (7:47 pm)
that attracted me to the Rio5. I was looking for hatches, having had enough of notchback cars. I'm a musician too and have to shoehorn a complete keyboard rig AND guitar rig for gigs. I get it all in the back of the Rio5.   Todd in Beerbratistan
#497 of 605 musicians for Rio by kneisl1 Jun 02, 2006 (4:29 am)
Kia seems to have hit a vein with this Musicians with Rio 5s thing. I wonder if they will be able to exploit it? Replies to this message: yeddo (Jun 02, 2006 4:48 am) mwrobe1 (Jun 08, 2006 3:36 am)

#499 of 605 Well, I love the 2006 Kia Rio5 by iluvmysephia1 Jun 02, 2006 (12:30 pm)
but I'm not a musician. I do love rock and roll music, though, and I am currently going through live rock show withdrawals here in Pocatello, ID.   The Drive-By Truckers with The Black Crowes looks to be my next opportunity, August 10th at the Snow King Amphitheater in Jackson, WY. I can't wait!   So you guys might be on to something here, still! Rock on!

Replying to: carlovermda (Jun 07, 2006 12:42 pm) Good news! I think more and more people are starting to notice Kia as their cars get better every year. I knew the Rio5 was a winner when it beat Yaris and Caliber (among others) in last months Car and Driver! Keep it up Kia Motors!

Replying to: kneisl1 (Jun 02, 2006 4:29 am) I'm not a musician...but I own a '06 Kia Rio...and I did win a couple karoke contests when I was in college. Gotta count for something!
#503 of 605 better by kneisl1 Jun 08, 2006 (4:06 am)
Unfortunately the Car and Driver evaluation is pretty much meaningless. A simple understanding of how they value automobiles shows that. In spite of the improvements the Korean cars like the Rio do not get the mileage that cars from Honda and Toyota get. A very telling defect which indicates they are not quite ready for prime time (or my dollar) Toyota makes nothing like the very excellent body style of the Rio 5 however.   Ill be inpressed with reliability stats when they show up in Consumer Reports. JD Power is just a beauty contest. Replies to this message: dakota29803 (Jun 08, 2006 4:25 am)

Replying to: kneisl1 (Jun 08, 2006 4:06 am) I have always had problems with Consumer Reports opinions, but yesterday I was reading the car issue at the Doctor's office and noticed one model had tow average marks and all the rest were above average or higher. The overall rating was below average. How can that happen???
