I think you guys are the best at reviewing cars that most people can actually afford with the occasional ones that on 0.02%'ers drive. I love every single video. I still want a Raptor (Why would you guys do that to me? I thought I was done with trucks).

You guys are great. I enjoy your friendly vibes. One question: what technique did you use for adding the bumper at 11:15? Thanks
The intro music is actually pretty good
Good review as usual. Somehow Canada lucked out this time. In the U.S. the Rio gets somewhat de-contented for the '18. That's no LED lights front & back, no 17" premium wheels and leather only comes in launch edition (limited amount). Anyways the curveball is the new Accent gets an automatic trunk, LED's, 17's, auto braking and blue link. When the Rio & Accent show up here in October and November I'm definitely going to test drive both. I agree with the comment on the base selling a lot! LX Rio's are $13,990.00 MSRP here and the out-the-door price will inevitably be a good deal. I'm not against the base cars even lacking cruise, etc. The reviews from all over the world have been solid. It's hard to believe it sold 400,000 world wide last year.

The fact they exclude CC from the base model with the manual bugs me! I’d love one of these with a stick, but I use cruise 95% of the time on freeways to avoid speeding. Which one is more important? 🤔

@@bigbean78 same boat. I'd love a manual US spec with cruise control and heated seats. Just not in the cards, I guess.
The fact that UVO takes a bit of time to do what it does is a surprise but I appreciate the ability to adjust the heater etc with it rather than having to remember to set it before you park for the night.
Well that pretty much convinced me. Great car - thanks guys!

The 2015 Chevrolet Sonic RS has telematics system where you can unlock and remote start it with your phone
Best looking subcompact you can get in the US right now IMO. If the base had cruise even as an option that would be #sg too.
Chevy Sonic with Onstar has that kind of controling stuff since 2011.
Lift kit sick at 11:04
Dude, mind blown! And to think I bought my actual car in a Kia dealership and only ever glanced at this Kia, because I was looking at a diesel Peugeot. Had I known I would've bought this Kia or even consider it very strongly. This uvo feature is fucking amazing!

Like Hyundai's Bluelink, glad Kia is getting the tech.
The Canadian version gets projectors headlights and LED daytime running lights...no fair.
kia is going to rule the world!
Seems the USA version of the Kia Rio doesn't offer the U shaped LED headlights, 17 inch rims, and moon roof...

Didn't hear a comment on how the torsion beam rear suspension behaves on bumps? Does the rear end giggle whenever one side of he car hits a bump that the other side of the cat does not hit?

It is true everyone here in Quebec has a Hyundai Accent Yaris or a Kia Rio
A 1.0 turbo version with 100 or 120 bhp exist for the EU market!!!
Damn, standard heated seats, steering wheel, and reversing camera? Thats a good amount of a standard kit for a budget city car.

wondering when they started working for Kia.
Shame on you tube for airing ads during/interrupting the videos. Annoying!
Can you test the Rio GT? :)
You guys should do the Honda Fit with Honda sensing :D
My cruze does it in like 5 seconds. So does my mazda. It's normal tech for new cars.
Yo boys, request from your #1 fanboy. Can you try and get your hands on the "SUPER DUPER FAST" 2018 Camry? If possible the "crazy" 300hp one? I wanna know if its even close to what the commercials are pretending it is. kk thnx much love

I drive quite a lot. I bought my 2018 Kia Rio LX (the base) hatchback in August of 2017. 2 years and 80,000 miles later (yes, that's not a typo), and I haven't had to do a single thing except oil changes at the local Kia dealership. The stock Continental tires still have about 7,000 to 8,000 miles of tread life left, and I still have 4 mm's left on the front brake pads. Key things to note for long-term maintenance costs. Single torsion beam rear suspension (meaning you can probably put 200k on the car and not replace a single thing in the rear suspension), lifetime timing chain...really the only things you'll be doing in the first 150,000 miles are the spark plugs at 120k, and the transmission fluid flush at 150k (this is what Kia recommends). Everything else will be just oil changes, tires and brake pads. They're basically designed to be super low cost, long-term reliable cars. Some KIA dealerships in the US now offer a whopping 10 year, 200,000 mile powertrain warranty, so shop around. Finally...if you need that extra oomph in acceleration, just kick it into sport mode. Gets your 0-60 time down to around 7.5 seconds, maybe closer to 7 if you kick it into manual mode and shift the gears yourself with sport mode engaged...really, not bad for a budget car. You won't be blowing anyone away, but sport mode will get you onto the freeway more than adequately.
