Mom's looking for a car too and still contemplating. I've read all the replies above and I think Kia Rio would be it in terms of the car specs and price.

Please stop already. LAST WARNING

friend bought one....

personal opinion after having driven it, other than it having a sunroof, its really nothing special.... (random point, i like sunroofs, wanted a car with one too cause its cool and all BUT its malaysia, how often can you use it!). It looks good, ill give it that and the quality is somewhat decent, but thats it.... Spareparts im told are about the same as jap counterparts nowadays, sort of true i guess. Now its bad points....its got a anemic 1.4 engine, a dinosaur age 4 speed and 17" wheels... why.. just why!!!! Remember all that equates to higher fc AND 17" tires are NOT cheap. Resale is also very likely gona be utter crap.

Am not sure why anyone thinks its a great buy at 80k.... cause for 4k more (somewhere thereabout)... theres the jazz hybrid, which if you look pass the sunroof, is a better car as a whole. (not waiting for the jazz is also one of the regrets of the friend who bought it).

my 2 sen (if ts has already bought one, i apologize dulu!! ampun hamba)

edit: yeah like ixeo mentioned, if its a sporty kind car you want, mazda 2....

Haha, maybe. I think the fuss is basically about the promotion on this Kia Rio earlier. 73k ma, cheap one.

I think Rio is better suited for female drivers (who dont care about performance etc). Perfect for daily usage around the city. IMO

Sales grabbed by the major brands already, then there are the old stock discount offered, so market is real tough.....

I disagree. For females they need better safety, better maneuverability, easy parking (sensors, rear parking camera, etc), good visibility and something that is easy to resell since they'll change every now and then just because it's "old".

Kia has zero resale and visibility plus maneuverability is questionable. And safety again is questionable.

I'd rather get my wife/daughter a Honda Jazz or a Toyota Yaris.

I've already issued warnings. Now I'm going start banning and deleting crap.

Female drivers care about BRAND and LOOKS. Honda is a better brand, and Jazz is damn cute. And easier to park too since its shorter, and bigger boot so the lady can keep all her shoes in the boot.

Kia Rio came with sunroof too. Others at the price RM70k++ come with smaller rims as standard.
17inch rims is standard vs 16inch for Honda Jazz. Worth it.

Yes, Honda Jazz damn worth it cause change tyre that time won't cry cause 16" tyres cheaper.

Maintenance higher and no resale value.......:hmmmm:

Like i said, i don't know about the rest. I'm here for myself. Yeah, looking for another car also kena tembak like this is it?

Of course i do comparison with other models as well. But i saw they're talking about it on my feeds.

Personally I again think it depends on what you want. Fun drive? Resale value? Size? Cheap? Cheaper maintenance? etc etc.

Define your requirements then it'll be easier to choose the car.



I really hate these kind of people. Anyway what you wanna know again? I have sat in and driven the Kia Rio 1.4. It's comfortable but slow. I'll bet because of the cars weight vs the engine, the FC will be bad. I don't know how much an improvement the 1.6 will be.

Btw, I can see you joined Nov 2008. These jokers all show Oct 2017 joined and all have similar range IP addresses indicating they are accessing from the same place. Besides, with only 2 -3 posts to their nicks and all they do is promo promo promo, it's pretty obvious already.
