The 5 Door KIA RIO SX is the best car in its class and the driving experience is pure fun. There are competitors in this class that are better in one or two areas, but none have the overall combination of a terrific engine with an excellent 6 speed automatic transmission, lots of interior room, fantastic looks, an abundance of safety features, high tech gadgets, nimble handling, and the best warranty in the industry.

The RIO is extremely comfortable on long trips, which is unusual for a small car. Can you believe the outside mirrors are heated electronically and fold into the car with the touch of a button? And it has a nifty rear view camera!

It has brisk acceleration with outstanding Fuel Economy 38-39 highway only, 23-25 City only, and about 31-33 Combined.

Outside mirrors are heated and fold in with the push of a button. It has beautiful LED brake and running lights. Unusual for this class, it has Four Wheel Disc Brakes, traction and electronic stability control, plus numerous air bags. It has nimble handling with the SX Package.

The Rear View Camera is far more useful than I thought. Cabin room: 88 cubic feet. There's 49.8 cubic feet of storage space with rear seats folded down.

Highway Driving, operates @ only 2500 rpms while going 70 mph. Can easily pass other vehicles on the Interstate as it is right at home on the highway.
