RE: Rio:

It also has unpainted black plastic on top of the rear bumper. This is something more manufacturers should do, as it is less prone to scratching if you're loading stuff in the trunk (the scratched up bumper on my Lynx attests to this lack.)

The Rio's interior looks great... but the plastic is cheap to the touch. In other words... look, don't touch!

A Getz is better than the Picanto in that it has much much more space, a hydraulic clutch and more power amenities. The Picanto has a tiny trunk and a shorter rear end. The Hyundai would also have better after-sales service, but as Otep could tell you, Kia service is good if you know who to talk to... and yes, it's really cute. :lol:

Spark? Not a bad car, even though it's a Daewoo Matiz... and very cheap to maintain for a Chevrolet badge. Very cute, very cramped. Okay, I guess, if just you and a friend are riding, but not very good for barkada duty... and the trunk is even smaller than the Picanto's.
