And another thing if you could do is more night time reviews. Some cars just look waay better at night.

Exactly. Most big channels dont even bother to at least take a close video of what they are talking about. They just record it from a meter away. These guys are the best. So glad i came across this channel. Also like the fact that they dont say cars are bad just because of their brand's past.

So, I bought a 2019 Kia Rio recently (last Friday actually) with exactly the same features as the one you tested. Except it's in black. The 2019 is same as the '18 and the price about the same. I tested the Mirage, Versa, Micra and even a FRS - used...As someone who gets buyers remorse time to time, I'm happy to report I'm VERY happy - thus far - with my choice. The six-speed is awesome and I can't wipe the smile off my face as I throw through the gears. My one major "want" was a manual tranny. I just didn't think this was going to be so sweet. Great review.

I just got a rio hatch as my first car ever(2018 250 miles), and before you kill me, it's an auto. But I have good reasoning! Basically I got the top model with a ton of features, yes yuri it has android auto and apple carplay, which made my mom happy, and the craziest thing is that I got the TOP model, only 1 year old(2018), an it's the same price as the 2019 BASE model(with no a/c). It's $4,000 cheaper than the 2019 same top model as well. It's a steal if you ask me an I love it. Oh and the gas mileage is great, cost 25 for a full tank an I fill it up about every 2 and a half weeks.

I love these reviews because even when it's a car I don't care about or really have an interest in I still get a lot out of the videos.

5years ago i was going thru a hard time so i traded in my 2012 mercedes e550 for 2017 rio lx plus 6spd. Although it was slow, it was so fun to drive and cheap on everything. I still miss this car..

What! Whattt! WHATTTTTT!! only you guys can make even a Kia seem fun. Like seriously! I am officially a fan! This is what love for cars is all about. Open mindedness to all manufacturers and genuine appreciation of the automobile. In my view you guys are right there with the top channels/shows.

Hey guys.. I was looking for a small car to get to work and landed at kia. I was blown away by the rio. Its biggest selling point is that it feels and looks more expensive. Not to mention that it’s super smooth and spacious for its size. I ended up getting a kia soul ex tech because I got a demo for a steal and I prefer the ride height. Your video on the soul makes me wish they had a deal on a turbo so I am keeping my eyes open for one now. Keep it up James from montreal

I actually just enjoyed driving it. Simple pleasures.

Aw yeah! Bonus video! You guys have seriously become one of my favorite automotive channels! I even got my brother to watch you guys and we have a good laugh about the visor test and satellite radio rewind when we see each other. On a separate note, I really think Kia/Hyundai/Genesis have become some of my favorite car brands. They literally cater to the enthusiast crowd. Not only that, but they offer some luxury features in a base car (like heated seats AND STEERING) that aren't even an option in some top trims of other vehicles. I mean, a base Audi I used to have did not even have heated seats and this Rio has heated seats and steering. That is awesome! It makes me sad that people continue to dismiss Kia/Hyundai/Genesis. These brands are really pushing themselves away from their previous image of being cheap, disposable cars, especially with cars like the Stinger and even this Rio. Moreover, it makes me sad to see enthusiasts dismissing these cars. Enthusiasts want high horsepower, luxury, RWD (or AWD) cars, and Kia literally gives them that with the Stinger and yet "enthusiasts" dismiss it because they are worried about depreciation. Come on, guys and gals. Really? You are the ones who are supposed to go out and buy the Stinger to promote the brand image, which subsequently convinces more people to buy the brand and respect it, thus increasing resale value. Then the same people will inevitably complain that there are "no cheap, fun, RWD (or AWD) vehicles." After seeing what Kia/Hyundai/Genesis has been doing, I have been actively convincing my own parents to buy a Stinger due to how luxurious, attractive, and fun it is. Support these brands that cater to fun and excitement before they are gone for good!

I have the 2015 Rio LX+ Sedan with the same 6-Speed manual stick...and seems like you'guys the only people who shared exactly the same verdict that it's really a fun car to drive. Nicely equipped with heated front seats, 4-wheel disk brakes, AC, cruise, traction and stability control, infotainment, etc. Surprised that the hp has gone down from 138 to 130. I still remember the smile in my face as I drove away from the dealer. I am fully satisfied with the car and my only pet peeve is the low passenger seat with no height adjustment. I've put up 60K+ km and so far nothing has wrong! I got it for about $12K that time, very frugal on gas, comfortable and very reliable. If KIA will make this neat 1.6 liter turbo available with the Rio...maybe that's the time for me to think about trading, lol!

@@DrewLSsix: I know what you mean. I live just outside of San Francisco and prefer a subcompact hatchback because of the tight parking situation on San Francisco's streets. I put 141,000 miles on a 2013 Rio LX hatchback, and while it was ultra-reliable, my main gripe was how terribly inadequate the suspension quality was for California's badly maintained roads...going over even moderate potholes was something you really had to brace for. What got me into the 2018 Rio was when I had to rent one for 4 days on a long weekend trip in the Pacific Northwest. May as well have been a completely different car. Similar body dimensions, but the newest generation is much more refined...and the suspension is far and away the biggest improvement. Handles (almost) all of California's potholes pretty well, and combined with better power delivery and acceleration at the lower RPM's, and sport mode for when I need that extra ooomph, plus more interior space and comfort....yeah, it's legitimately a comfortable city and freeway car that feels sturdy at 80 MPH. Great value for the money.

Kia - make the pincher. Also make a coupe a version for the countries where it always rains (here in the UK); you can call it "Pinched". I think the cars that are "underpowered" are generally more fun; all you need is, comfortable seats, great gear changes, good induction and exhaust sounds and fun handling then it doesn't matter on power; just rev it out and you're still under speed limit with a huge grin in your face...

You wouldn't think twice about jumping in, driving it and being grateful if zombies were chasing you.

I have a 2012 Rio in automatic, and though I like the features of the car, I hate the transmission. I previously had a Hyundai Accent (2013) in manual, and it was far better. With this low power, buy manual.

Excellent video Thestraightpipes. I sat in this Rio other day when a friend came over. Its build so well. was a top spec model with android auto etc. Its for me build just as well as a vw interior. it looks upmarket and its very comfortable. Im sure if you go for higher trim most body roll will be eliminated due to 17 inch wheels and fun factor will also increase.. thanks for video!

Now i want to buy this car... Great job guys!

I'd buy this car if it had a minimum of 190hp. 130 is just too low for me but I like everything else about it

This, in a nutshell, explains why I love my 109hp 2000 civic coupe DX manual so much still. You can have so much fun, body roll and all and not get into any trouble. Awesome review!
