Agree on this one 👍

Thank you for all your inputs

3-4 persons ang madalas na sasakay including me.

also considered the accent crdi m/t. fits our needs and requirements but the lack of abs made me think twice. That's the reason why I opted for the S variant gasoline.

How about Kia Rio? any owners here? how does it perform?

It would be best if you aim for what your heart desires so that you will have no regrets later.

The Rio hatchback really looks great with its stock 17" wheels. I wish the Fiesta S models got something like those.

Kia Rio Ex M/T owner here, Interior is better compared to the accent, imho. No problems with the gamma engine, however there was an advisory issued by CAC that it requires a 93 octane diet.

10-11km/L- is doable in city but is highly dependent on your driving style.

I added OEM foglamps to my unit.

Safety wise it has abs but only has driver side airbag.
