Kia Rio rear

Kia Opirus dash

Some comments:

Kia Rio
As for our brief test drive, I was surprised that the Rio has a responsive 1.4 engine. There is room for three (see the pic above) but the shoulder room is not good. The manual gearbox is better than the Accent and the clutch is soft. Plasticky as expected.

Kia Sorento
Was able to drive this vehicle before and again, the ride is soft (better than the Fortuner of course). Spacious indeed.

Kia Carens (under consideration)
I think this should be sold here. 3rd row seat legroom is like innova's and it folds flat. It also has a CRDi engine.

All new Sedona
looks good and competitive. Power sliding doors is a gem

Kia Opirus (under consideration)
hmmm...I think the Magentis is more feasible. Though interior has acceptable quality. LED front signal lamps looks good.

hi. would you know how much the new sportage will retail? does it come with CRDi? looks like a crv but with CRDi (a definite advantage). if the price is good, looks like they have a winner.

btw, i just noticed. mukhang binalik na pala ng kia ang old logo nila. good decision.
