The 2011 Kia Rio for buyers
No 2011 Kia Rio is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Before you buy the 2011 Kia Rio, here is what the figures say and what to look at.
A buyer's checks
NHTSA has 24 owner complaints on file, mostly about engine, air bags and electrical system. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
The numbers in plain words
The engine is the 1.6L 4-cylinder, with front-wheel drive and a 5-speed manual. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
At 7.8 L/100 km combined, a 300 km drive takes roughly 23 litres of fuel. A weekend of 300 km comes to about $36.27 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,250 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.
Living with the Rio
As a compact car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. The EPA lists 453 litres for luggage, roughly a family's bags for a long weekend.
A longer test drive
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Rent the Rio for a week and see how it fits your life.
Narrowing it down
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
Money matters
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. The EPA estimates US$2,250 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $12.09 in fuel.
