2012 Kia Rio

[spymaker]

i noticed that most if not all of you guys need to empty the tank before computing your fc. you don't need to do that. just fix a km reading and then have a full tank then you'll get your fc. 200km man o 50km ang tinakbo, you will get the same fc.

Update sa moisture sa driver side headlamp asembly ko..

Nabasa ko kasi sa fb ng club rio na tanggalin daw yun bulb dahil ito daw sabi ng casa para daw mag circulate ang hangin sa loob.

So ang ginawa ko
- tanggal hi beam bulb
- ginamitan ng vacuum for 1 minute para umikot o mahigop yun moisture sa loob
- binalik ang bulb
- nag maneho for 2-3 mins under the rain

Resulted to zero moisture.

Pero obserbahan ko parin, baka pagmatagal ako magdrive under the rain lumabas yun moisture. Pero dati kc pansin ko kahit sandali lang ako magdrive, nagkakaroon na ng moisture.

I'll give an update regarding this matter soon.. but i hope it fixed the moisture problem

hi c_cube baka naman kaya nawala na moisture sa headlight mo dahil sa "tanggal at kabit" mo hehehe.di kaya maluwag lang dati yun kaya ng binalik mo na seal mo lang ng ayos. anyway ano na nangyari kay CYBERIAN di na sya nag post kung ano balita sa rio5 nya?

Here's my letter:

The General Manager
Columbian Autocar Corporation

Dear CAC General Manager,

I checked my warranty & maintenance manual and would like to file a complaint for the poor gas mileage I am getting.

The Kia Rio hatchback I purchased on July 30, 2012 has VERY POOR GAS MILEAGE. I am only getting 6 kms. per liter and this is VERY BAD considering that the car only has a 1.4 liter gas engine. My family owns several 2-liter & above cars (Rav4, Sta. Fe, Sorento) and the worst fuel mileage for these cars are 7 km / liter on the same route.

This Kia Rio HB was purchased for city driving and getting a fuel mileage of 6km/liter is UNACCEPTABLE. My accepted tolerance for this is at least 8 km/liter since its competitors like the Ford Fiesta & Honda Fit/Jazz are getting 9 km/liter real world mileage.

Furthermore, I have posted in the following forum thread all my concerns and documented my fuel consumption:

Please investigate ASAP and let me know the resolution to the issue. Thank you.

Full to full is not as accurate if you use less than ten liters of fuel. The car can store up to an extra liter in the tube, and extra two or three in the tank due to air bubbles. Then ther's the liter or so in the lines and fuel rail, that's there when it's cold and gets dumped back in the tank via the fuel return line when it gets too hot.

spoke to a friend regarding the Rio's demise in fuel economy. Was told that efficiency should be from the time you get the car should be more efficient than owning th car longer. which actually makes more sense, because once the car is new and fresh the car already had it's short breakin period from the time the car is driven into the ship yard to be delivered and then driven to the showroom.

As a car gets older it's efficiency would degrade as well as it's horse power due to metal fatigue, wear and tear, etc...

Both right and wrong. A car is usually broken in by the time you take delivery. Broken-in in the sense that the piston rings have sealed and the assembly is in working order.

But a car will not fully-break in until at least 10,000 to 20,000 kilometers. Fuel economy should be best from around 20,000 to 60,000 kilometers, after which it will degrade. How bad or how soon it will degrade after depends on how badly you use the car.

After 25 liters of gas.... 6 km/L pa rin ang mileage ko for my Rio HB.

I filled up with 37 liters of Caltex Silver yesterday and i will all let you know ano ang magiging resulta.

Hassle talaga to mas ok pa yung Sorento ko!!!!!!!!!!

*niky

thanks for the insight. how 5-6km/L for a 1.4L engine at 106-107HP is still degrading.

hi mikmik 316 ano na ba odometer reading mo? sakin nasa 2000km na same pa din fc naglaro lang sa 6-7km/liter city driving wala nga traffic ave. travel ko a day is 25km. yun naka display sa cluster mo na AVE. FUEL ECONOMY, hindi sya accurate,ngayon ang lumalabas sa display ko is 11.8km/100L so nasa 8.6km per liter dapat yan pero pag compute ko manually lalabas 7km lang.kinausap ko na SA ko sa kia alabang about this and i also talked to someone sa columbian,they told me na as long na wala sila makuha na complaints na galing sa mga buyer ng hatchback hindi sila gagalaw.ang proseso pala eh dapat sa casa ka muna mag complain then ipaalam nila sa columbian then kung alarming na numbers ng ganito problema saka nila bigyan ng attention.so try to address your bad fc sa casa mo and report sa kanila every week if possible after every full tank and compute manually

better adress this case to your casa para malaman nila na hindi lang isa o dalawa kaso ng rio HB ang gas guzzler, so that they will do something about it gaya ng sa hyundai accent before

Mga pre I am already clocking 202 km for the last fill-up and so far mas konti na sa 1/4 yung tank and the trip computer says around 20-25km more before the fuel gauge lights up... Kung titingnan nyo... 6km / liter pa rin lalabas.

Will give you the final figures within the coming days but so far, Rio HB mileage is really really bad!!!

[c_cube]

Kaya siguro naglabas ng 1.4 6 speed manual na may istop ang kia dahil sa bad FC ng 1.4AT..

Halos lahat bad FC nakukuha. Im averaging 7-8 km/l with mix city and hway but mostly city driving.

For 1.4 hindi talagang magandang consumption ito.

nawala na yata si cyberian,i would not blame him if he got a DEAL with the kia people,na "IF WE GIVE THIS TO YOU,YOU WILL KEEP SILENT ABOUT IT AND NEVER TALK ABOUT IT AGAIN EVER". i would do the same if i get a better deal hehehehe.

[tidus1203]

Pero diba the 1,4L in the Rio is the same Gamma engine found in the Accent 1.4? Wonder why the Accent is faring better? Maybe its the tranny kasi 4 speed lang? While competitors are sporting 5 and 6 speeds...

How about the manual any news on its FC? Yun nga eh ang ganda talaga specs ng Rio sobrang loaded talaga ng specs and nice pricing pero the FC is a killer. Yung best sa Rio halos hatawan at aggressive driving sa city na sa Fiesta eh hehe

[niky]

Probably the transmission. 4AT plus small engine... not a good combo.

I wonder, though... is the Rio heavier than the Accent? Certainly feels better insulated.
