The 2016 Kia Rio for buyers
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2016 Kia Rio for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Thinking about the 2016 Kia Rio? Here are the numbers in plain words and what to check.
A buyer's checks
There are 2 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
Specs, explained
Power comes from the 1.6L 4-cylinder, driving through a 6-speed automatic. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
A combined rating of 7.7 L/100 km works out to about 23 litres per 300 km. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $119.40. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,200 a year for 15,000 miles.
What the Rio is like
Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. With 425 litres of luggage space by the EPA's measure, it takes a family's bags for a long weekend.
Who the Rio suits
It suits commuters, couples and business trips. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.
Try before you buy
Rent the Rio for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. 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.
Money matters
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $11.94 in fuel. The EPA estimates US$2,200 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $119.40 at our price setting.
Narrowing it down
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
One more step
