 I bought my 2002 Kia Rio in July 2002 
and so far so good.  I drive 85 miles 
round trip to work each day and the gas 
milage on my full size pick up was 
killing me.  My wife & I decided that I 
needed an inexpensive vehicle with good 
gas milage and a/c to drive to work 
in.  The Kia Rio was the solution.  So 
far I have put 16,000 miles on it 
(including a trip from Dallas to 
Chicago) and have had zero problems.
