Oh so you managed to go have a look that day?
Test driven as well. Its a refreshing experience, the electric only drive is not powerful like Tesla (since this is not pure EV), its enough to get you to legal road speeds, and quite rapidly enough. but beyond 80km/h on electric only is challenging (but that was NOT the intended usage).

So you decided to get one or your friends one?

Why nobody suggest Kia Optima GT? Lately seems like there's a Kia storm brewing at ZTH.

Coz it's a Kia.
Didn’t you know? Every body, their brother, mother, suddenly heard/know/saw/got their dog ran over by the all new Kia Rio.

It’s like the latest and greatest car in town man. My mom don’t even know there’s a model called Rio. Much less Kia.

I don't pay attention to Kia so I don't know if there's a buzz on it. Come to think of it, actually I only pay attention to cars I like which is very limited, hence I only know very little about other current cars, not just Kia!

I do have a Korean car but is a Hyundai, and will only buy one, which is second hand because no resale value, so can get them cheaper......lol

I'm sure you saw the latest Proton Saga, because its everywhere on the road. Kia Rios are so rare, I think even GTRs are more common.

Now that it's mentioned in this forum, then I noticed a few Rio today on the way to work! :biggrin:
