Thinking of buying the 2017 Kia Rio?
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2017 Kia Rio for sale by us right now. This page sets out the 2017 Kia Rio for buyers, in plain words.
Recalls and complaints
NHTSA lists 2 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Owners filed 31 complaints with NHTSA, most often about engine, service brakes and unknown or other; have those parts checked. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
The numbers in plain words
The 1.6L 4-cylinder, paired with a 6-speed manual, drives it. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
It is rated at 7.7 L/100 km combined; 300 km takes about 23 litres. In money, 1,000 km costs about $119.40 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,150 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Best uses
It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
Living with the Rio
A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. In plain terms, its 425 litres of luggage space hold a family's bags for a long weekend.
Rent it for a week first
Rent the Rio first, and buy only if it fits your life. Rent the Rio for a week and see how it fits your life. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.
Which one to look for
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
Money matters
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $119.40 at our price setting. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
