2005 Kia Rio Road Test

Kia is the fastest growing car company in North America, and the Rio is their least costly car- so I thought I'd do my last review this year on it, to try and sort out whether this cut-rate compact was in fact "cheap" or not. This is a very inexpensive car, you can get one for $11,995 if you pay cash. There is also an available $500 discount for recent grads.
