Your thought on the new Kia Rio?

[Apeng08]

Some people think of the monthly payment hence why i reconsider Kia Rio 1 part of my comparison.

i know a lot of them look like bots or etc but its all for discussion.

Cheers for the help bros :)

Okay. Why would anybody want to buy a Kia Rio for 80k when you can get a Mazda 2 for few k more? More powerful, better handling, advanced skyactiv engine. Seriously it’s 2017, a 4 speed auto transmission? That’s like a Myvi from 2005.

The Kia Rio is for someone who REALLY loves the way the Rio looks cause no way in hell is it better than Mazda 2 objectively.

OMG!!!

See 0.16 onwards.

Finally, legit answer.

Yeap, they got me at the sunroof but like you said, Msia is damn hot lah.
But they change from Kappa engine instead of the Gamma mill found before that's why i wanna know whether its good or not.

Anyway, you got strong points there. Appreciate the help tho
:)

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....

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.

Just unlucky your post timing and their attack.....

I have a Korean car to, but bought it second hand. If you are not worried about second hand value go ahead and buy.
I too bought a Chinese SUV, because cheap. Know it won't have any second hand value but it is so much cheaper than other makes.....lol

Ya lah, wrong time, wrong place. When the bomb is release you in the same group.
If think of resale value, take uber.
I scare of 2nd loan, so buy 2nd hand wira.

Well, it's also the reason why I didn't delete you or ban you. I know you're genuinely here for the discussion. So you're all good man.

What did you end up deciding on?

 

[gunnerzz]

with that kind of money,i will gladly settle for Proton Preve.
Or,i top up and get a Renault Fluence.Yes i know its old but it has the best package at its price range even without the reverse sensor.

You do realise a few k difference in buying price, works out to be very negligible on monthly instalment right? Like a tank of petrol...

Assuming loan is 9 years, 3% interest
Kia Rio with rebate is RM73,888 ex insurance, monthly instalment is RM 783.17
Mazda 2 with rebate is RM81,000 ex insurance, monthly instalment is RM 857.25
Jazz Hybrid with rebate is RM78500 WITH insurance, monthly instalment is RM 830.79

A normal Honda Jazz with rebate is less than RM70k.... a practical person, who may not be a car enthusiasts would know.. you'd pick a Honda Jazz over Kia Rio.

Fluence 2017 now RM89k... that's a bargain, but we all know its a Nissan underneath which is a good thing. More reliable than anything with a VW badge.

I checked on Haval H1 & H2 recently. Quite promising tbh. Damn good china ppl nowadays. Msia brand also cannot keep up. LOL

I got Putra for play car. Sayang mau jual woo, uhuks.

I'm getting married next year, that's why tanya. Tapi orang lain pulak bombarded me with Kia Rio promo what not. I mean they got points to share, just my thread is wrongly understand pulak :stupid:

Thanks buddy. Appreciate it. Well, i did checked on the Kia Rio as advertise by this people. They got rebate up to RM6K now. Very much interesting. No wonder lah all around now even fb people.

As for now, my choice still far from conlusion. Could be the new honda jazz/city/civic depends on rebate (yes, i'm that cheapskate LOL)

Also could be Bezza. Why?

1. Perodua Bezza
Price from RM37,300
Estimated Fuel Efficiency: 21km /l

Eh but don't tembak me because of this ah? Still browsing haha

You're the 1st who mentioned Renault. I thought the after sales part for EU cars quite expensive right?

 

[Apeng08]

Well said sir. I completely agree with you!

Go for the normal Honda jazz if you can afford it. Bezza rear seats is upright, uncomfortable.

If you just want cheap and cheerful, Perodua Myvi 1.5L, even Honda City and Jazz can’t outrun it.

I went to have a look at the H2 also. Quite nice, 1.5T engine but price is over 100k...:hmmmm:

So in the end who here actually bought/own a Kia Rio? Picture please. All I hear is your mother/brother/cousin/neighbors dog got one.

discussion bro, no tembak.

I would seriously go check out, kick tyres, sit back seat and test drive the Bezza before actually really considering it. I sat it in once and I hated it. The back seats are like bench seats - super straight. Very uncomfortable. The car is super under powered. And internally it's terrible unless you buy the top spec model. Even the Myvi feels and drives better.

But if it's just a daily market drive, pick kids from school kinda car - then Bezza is ok. The stop-start system I suspect will cause problems with the starter motor and battery in the long term. Some owners have said that the starter motor needs changing every 2 years but these guys are Grab drivers so their usage is a bit high.

Oh and once the stop-start kicks in your air-con goes to shit until you start moving again. In this kinda heat and weather, omfg it's super annoying. So you'll end up never using the eco mode and probably get 12-14km/L only.
