Default 2006 Kia Rio5






IGNCars has a review of it and they recommend it over the xA

I think the STANDARD 6-airbags got to the IGN reviewer thus the recommendation over the xA. Gets pretty decent EPA rated gas mileage (29city/38hwy for auto). But the xA is at a disadvantage because it is 4-years old (Toyota iSt originally sold in Japan in late 2002(?)). Proper comparison would be between the Honda Fit and Nissan Versa. Both coming next year. I am considering the Fit as a replacement or to accompany the xB.

It's reminiscent of an MP3

It also comes standard with the embarassment of telling people that you drive a KIA

THey did a better job with the Spectra5. . . I hate this trend of element body cladding garbage. . . looks HORRIBLE.

Pick a color! But no multi-colored gooberness

does the fact that "if they were all cut off you COULDN'T drive a Kia come into play, or...?

Oh actually... Based on the way Kia drivers on the roads go... I think they're all making do with some active "stumpage"
