Did a lot of city driving the last two days. Just filled up on the way home, I drove 156 miles in two days, mostly South Miami and Miami beach. Plenty of traffic and stopping. I filled up with 5.6 gallons. That means I got 27.85 MPG. After my first fill up this weekend I was breaking 31 MPG but thats because I was doing 90% highway miles. Anyway if I can average 27-31 MPG on a daily basis I will be extremely happy! I'm enjoying my Rio5 more and more each day! I even received a couple of comments including an Optima owner at a Barnes and Noble parking lot who was shocked to see the Kia logo on the car. He parked right next to me and got out of his car at the same time, said he thought it was a Mazda! Great compliment!

More edgy and sporty than parent Hyundai's more conservative styling. And their '06 line looks really well-made...Color me impressed.  Todd in Beerbratistan |

| In Miami there are probably 3 or 4 weeks per year that I do not run the AC because the temp drops below 70 during the day. It is supposed to heat up and hit the mid 70's this week. Then I will have my AC on during city driving, I suppose that will be the real test! I am expecting to see a 10% drop in MPG with the AC, but thats the price I must pay to live in a tropical paradise! | |

Just wanted to fill everybody in on the MPG I have been getting. I drove over 1K miles this week doing about 60% highway and 40% city. It's been hot again so I had the AC on the entire time. I averaged 28.6 MPG. I am quite satisfied with that #! Maybe without AC and the Fog lights off I could have done better but 28.6 is pretty darn good. My grandfather did 600 miles this week in his 2006 Spectra, he averaged 24.8 MPG doing mostly city, not bad at all! Compared to the 12 or 13 he got in his old Grand Marquis the 24.8 is a blessing! I read an article online that stated that anytime an automaker redesigns a model the newer version seems to hold a significantly higher resale value then the older version. The article mentioned 2006 Rio as an example of projected resale value improving during the near future. Sounded very encouraging, I will try to relocate that article and post the link. Saw 2 2006 Rio LX sedans on the road today but I am still waiting to see another Rio5. I figure the American public would prefer the Sedan over the hatch 4 to 1. It's a shame because the hatch is so versatile and sportier looking. Well as long as people are buying Kia I can't complain over which model they purchase! |
