>> I wonder why it's not recommended?
 
This numbers are just about driving fun and driving performance. Not recommended cars here either have reliability below average (audi, dodge, pontiac) or did not take (or did not pass) crash test (mitsubishi):
crash-tests
.
 
>> What really stands out, to me, is that the Kia Rio sedan managed to make that list. It's probably the cheapest sedan in the world!
 
It is in fact amazing that this ugly duck handles better then BMW, Mercedes C-class Sport and 100 other sedans:

I wouldn't conclude it "handles better", this is just one single test, and I'm sure a narrow, light car tends to have an advantage over a heavier, wider one.
 
This is also largely a test of how intrusive (safe?) a stability control system is, which slows yours exit speed.
 
Still, it would be fun to own one of those and challenge a Bimmer in a slalom.

It would be fun indeed. In this fun MT slalom test Lancer Evo 4-door sedan beats Corvette, Viper, Lamborghini, Ferrari and Benz:
