Heck, I wish I could have purchased the smaller 1.3 L engine that they get in Europe! I don't need more power, the car is more than powerful enough!

I'll trade


Oh and I so rarely enter these threads trashing other cars, but seriously....the Kia Rio is so shit. Before I bought the Yaris I rented a Rio. Re-Sale value is indeed bad like someone mentioned, and by next year the Rio will look outdated. It just doesnt have style.

I had a rio 5 door. It trashed the Yaris in a roden-track comparison, as did the Nissan versa (the fit won). Rio is a MUCH better handling car with better interior fit and finish than the Yaris. I thought the engine was weak - and mine started "knocking' after 1 day of conservative driving. So I dont like Korean engines after my experience with 1 sample I would like to put the Yaris 1.5L in the Rio - or maybe the 1.8L - then I could have best of both worlds
