Might be my new future car. It's so cheap decent quality. I don't like cars cost 45k these days or more. I will go for the S technology package for sure. I just wish the S technology package had digital screen. I plan to give this Kia Rio hatchback lift it probably like 2.4 inches higher off the ground. Let cover more cheap cars under 20k.

New cars have some much crap that is just unnecessary. I don't need digital everything..and I actually prefer knob controls because they're easier and safer to use while you're driving.

English is my second language, and if I heard correctly, you did a speaking mistake during describe the emergency break. You said it is electronic emergency break.

They need to start putting cupholders in all cars , not just the expensive ones. It doesn't make sense 😂

The Kia Rio ex premium 5 door is pushstart, satellite heated steering wheel leather wrapped, satellite radio chrome handles sunroof, Led and so much more. Great on Gas wow. And it's not plain white it has sparkles. I get lots of compliments. My car ex premium has power you need to drive one the ex premium It's quick.

going to pick up a rio later today! seems like a great first car!

Looks like a great bargain:)

Yes indeed, the 2023 with the S Tech package, as you recommend. Fearing that very soon (maybe already?) they will no longer be available at all. I hope I am wrong. Writing from Seattle.

Kia is discontinuing the Rio in Europe, but no announcement for the USA yet. Thanks for watching. Much appreciated.

I love my '21 KIA Rio S or LX as no designation is on the car but it is like the same as the car you are driving except it is the sedan not the 5 door. I think this is the best car I have ever owned in every way. It is fun to drive and gets great gas mileage and looks good. I have multiple passengers almost all the time and the car does very well with a full load and the trunk is large enough to carry a good size load. The Rio has no trouble keeping up with traffic on the highways as it's power to weight ratio is very good and competitive with other cars and its CVT is very smooth. I would buy it again!

Fantastic! Glad to hear. Thanks for tuning in.

How come you're reviewing it again?

Great video. I like small hatchbacks still and hope they don't disappear. I like this car a lot. I just wonder if it has a quality build to last 10 years without the engine or transmission needing replacement?

Thanks for watching. The reliability is a question mark. I usually refer to Consumer Reports for guidance, but the Rio hasn’t sold enough units for them to provide guidance.

I won't go over the 100,000 miles in 10 years, so I'm covered if anything happens. I own a kia rio 2021 hatchback S and it's an excellent car. It does NOT feel like a "sub-compact" and is very spacious. People who need huge vehicles need a reality check, because this thing is excellent with space..I have passengers often with no issues and camp a lot, and it always fits a ton of stuff. I love everything about it, from the gas mileage (45+ mpg), styling, smooth drive, huge infotainment system with Android Auto and hauling capacity. It's literally the most perfect car and I'm constantly raving about it. All I need is a simple car like this that does the job and gets me around, with no issues. It's a smooth ride and just as good as a car that's much more expensive. I paid $17,500 and 0% from Kia financing..you can't beat that!!!!!

Engine immobilizer?? Would that be that annoying star/stop feature where the engine turns off at stop signs and red lights?! I hope not!

How does this handle hills

Can you do a Mitsubishi Mirage 2023 later on thanks forgot to add it last comment. I will give you thumb up for now on. Just try to make some more affordable cars. I can't afford any car that is 45k or more. Well I can, however I will hurt too much. I current have a 1992 Toyota Corolla I bought many years ago for 800 dollars 234,00 miles on it. It will work like brand new. I just want something newer.
