2012 Kia Rio

[chua_allan]

Sir chua_allan, have you tried na going up-hill or matarik na driveway like the parking ng shang-mall? hindi po ba nahirapan yun engine? Where you able to do na manual computation for the FC? Have you tried na the Petron unleaded?

Hmmm... So far pinakamatarik na akyat ko is yung basement parking ng sanctuarium. Light footed pa ako as sa ngayn kasi wala pa 1k odo ko. Pero hindi naman hirap.
As for the fc halo kasi biyahe ko sa 2 full tanks na nagawa ko. Halo yung super heavy trapik sa q ave araneta and super luwag ng slex to tagaytay. More or less naglalaro sa 7-9km/l siya.

Ang masasabi ko lang kapag sa highway, 2k rpm around 75 to 80kph. 2.5k para maging 100kph.. Dun pumapasok ang importance ng 5th and 6th gear. So kung puro city driving. Wala naman magiging prob ang 4 speed ng rio.

1st full ko v power. 2nd n 3rd ko XCS na.

my right headlight moistens after use. it disapperars the next day. ok lang daw yun as long as di permanent ang moist. it means the breather works though slowly.

Nice review from an actual Rio HB Owner! Other things I confirmed upon seeing the Hatch unit at the showroom...

1. The aircon system specially the compressor is made by Nippondenso, same with Toyota!
2. The wiper blades are banana type, similar to the current Honda Civic.
3. The headlight and fog lights are BOTH projector type !
4. The rear seatbelts also support an ISO-FIX type specially used for starpping in your baby carrier.
5. The rear seats is 60:40 split type.
6. The front DRLs are LED type and same with the third brake and main brake lights - all LED.
7. ABS-equipped but rear drum brakes only.
8. Twin Air bags. Very large glove box with built-in aircon vent.
9. The tires is made by Continental! ContiSportContact 17". Alloy rims are 17" too including the spare tire.
10. The unit is priced much lower than the Honda Jazz. Test drive na lang to confirm the drive & ride experience.

Do you think worth it sya sa 838k? Planning to buy a graphite rio hb next month.
Very tempting yung push start nya wala pa akong nkikitang car na below 1m with that feature. Fully loaded tlga sya the only downside for me is yung engine na 1.4 4dr lang. At yung front view nya parang sobrang kipot. Pero overall nagustuhan ko sya. My previous choice was hyundai elantra kaso masyong mahal na yung loaded version nya.

Kung hindi kaya takpan hanggang ibaba eh syempre bitin. Pwede magasgas ang parte na walang takip.

Yes brother palitan mo ng mas malaki basta matakpan yang nakalitaw na running board.
Ang elantra ko nagasgas ang parte na yan kasi nag madali ang nagtakip, hindi natakpan ng maayos. Ayon tumatakbo na dumaan sa tabi ang pitbull namin...beep, beep, beep... sumabit ang kanyang dog collar na may buckle. Buti mabawbaw ang tama.

Ganda ng red rio hatch
Pag walang naging problema bukas yun narin kukunin ko, graphite naman.

[elviar]

Kakatest drive ko lang ng Kia Rio hatchback.
Smooth naman ang driving, ayos din yung mga features nya like keyless entry, push start, Bluetooth and a lot more...
Sa mga nabasa kong reviews maingay daw ung engine, para sakin ok lang nman hindi naman ganoong pansin.
Medyo mataas din sya thanks to the 17" wheels, which is good kasi ang tataas ng humps dito samin.

[trig]

nakita ko sya sa MIAS. Ang ganda and fully loaded yung HB. poor mans VW.

Does it have the same engine as the accent?
