?? the Kia Rio A/T I saw in their showroom and test drive had the second one.. but A/T un.. Ung sa manual single DIN ba?
I know its not the exactly the second picture because madami yata msyadong buttons to, but integrated HU parin ung test drive ko.

M/T FC is acceptable from the comments.. but im still tron between this and avanza..
Its like my heart says RIO but my Brain says Avanza..
Hehe

I have a 1.4 MT EX Sedan and I would say the Stereo Unit installed in mine is the 2nd picture you posted (double DIN).
I think the 1st pic (single DIN) is for the 1.2MT, but correct me if I'm wrong with this..

So far, I'm happy with the FC of my Rio..

Goodluck on your choice!!

Mostly mga late 2012 models ng EX AT or MT ay integrated(2nd picture) na ang stereo, pero yung aircon manual controls parin, unlike sa 2nd pic naka auto climate control yan.
although i've seen some early 2012 EX AT with a 1 DIN stereo same as the 1st picture.

Chery QQ 1.0 (MT): 9-10 km/l lang. :

hi niky i was wondering if you own all this car or simply a motoring guy who get the chance to test drive all this different cars and post a review,sayang lang kasi kung nauna review mo sa kia rio5 baka nag dalawang isip ako na bilhin ito hehehehe

Actually agree with the figures for Honda Jazz. Traffic here in Metro Manila is so bad that it makes our Jazz look like my Mazda 3 2.0 in terms of fuel consumption. On light traffic days, we do around 10-11km/l and even 15 to 18 km/l during long drives. During weekdays driving in morning and evening rush hour traffic, fuel consumption goes down to as low as 6.5 km/l. This is a 2010 Honda Jazz 1.5 i-VTEC. My Mazda 3 gets around 5.5 to 6 km/l during really bad traffic and about 9-10km/l during weekends both are well maintained by their respective dealers.

Are the bad FC figures for the Rio based on weekday traffic? O ganun parin kasama during lighter traffic days? Sayang interested sana ako sa kanya. Super pogi nung car eh

Chevy spark owner here. Just refueled the tank. 625 kms 42 liters = 14.93 kms/ltr. My full yank lasts me a month. Purely city driving. Tandang sora - Ortigas and back. I use it 6-7 times a week. with short runs over the weekend. I drive it like a race car in the city, pushing it to its limits. Damn! I love my chevy!!!

sir densflo congrats to your new unit. Mayroon bang remote control ang stereo ang in integrated HU mo ? Sa akin Sony 1 DIN ang nakalagay with detachable face with remote control. Observed ko lang lahat na dark colored Rio have integrated HU. At ang mga light colored Rio ay 1 DIN with remote control. Bright Silver ang gusto ni Commander kaya goodbye integrated HU na gustong2x ko.

Thanks Sir. I don't think may remote sya.. as for me, the integrated stereo looks elegant, but I know baka hindi ko na ito mapalitan or macostumize.. Graphite kukunin ko. Its actually a crazy decision, its this and and avanza 1.3E, my brain, friends, and officemate keeps on telling me to get the avanza.. But I followed my heart, and will be getting the rio.. and I'm happy about it...

More gas-guzzling Rio HB data:

Nov. 30 Blaze, 30 liters, 196.5km = 6.55 km/L
Dec. 4 Total Unleaded, 6.1 liters, 39.3km = 6.44 km/L

Dec. 5 Blaze, 30 liters PLUS
Dec. 8 Gold, 9.4liters, 386.7km = 9.8 km/L
** Route for this one includes 1 days driving around Fairview-Eastwood-Makati-Intramuros and vice versa
** 3 days driving around Fairview-Commonwealth
** and 1 day Fairview-NLEX-Sta. Rita Exit-Bulacan Municipalities-Cabanatuan-Tarlac-SCTEX-NLEX-Fairview

Registered 6.4L/100km on the trip computer during the SCTEX-NLEX stretch.

So here's the real score for the HB:

City Driving = 6-7km/L
Mixed Driving = 9.5-10km/L
Highway Driving = 15km/L
