Drive it on your own roads
Rent first, buy later: a week with the Rio answers the big questions. If the Rio is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car.
Narrowing it down
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
