2012 Kia Rio

[timo07]

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

Does it have the same engine as the accent?

I think they share the same engine platform. If that's really the case, sana hindi kasama yung problema ng accent......

Susugal nako sa 1.4 ni Kia... Kia has better after sales than Hyundai... There 5-year warranty is really usable... unlike sa Hyundai na parang Toyota at Honda magpalusot na ayaw magpalit ng piyesa.

Case in point. My Kia Sorento's driver side power window switch had an issue with the metal contacts which sometimes is intermittent. Talked to the service advisor, they checked the history that I am following religiously their service intervals, told them they must replace the unit instead of repairing the metal contacts just to make it work. Imagine its already 2.75 years out of the 3 year warranty and they replace the whole driver side power window motor/assembly.

Take Hyundai. I have a documented A/C issue here in tsikot since our 5k service. 30k na yung kotse hanggang ngayon AYAW PALITAN ng Hyundai yung mga piyesa. Have come to Hyundai Commonwealth, E.Rod and even my original dealer in Abad Santos. VERY BAD AFTER SALES.

Between Hyundai & Kia, i will get a Kia instead. Nakapila na nga Rio HB ko e... Got good discount pa from Kia Acropolis (Libis)

[rockiee_s]

mikmik, pa-PM naman ng deal na nakuha mo sa Libis.....please...

hanggat di ko pa nabibili yung Ford ng nanay ko. baka i can convince her to buy that instead (which was my first choice last february when i was buying my car).

thanks in advance.

Kamusta, mga Kia Rio owners? Saan kayo nakaabot ngayong Holy Week break? How is the performance and fuel economy of the Rio on the expressway? Meron na bang nakapagdala ng Rio sa Baguio o ibang matarik na lugar?

We're considering getting the 1.4 MT sedan, and my usual route will be Northern Luzon to QC, with occasional trips up Baguio.

We just got our Rio EX Sedan 1.4 AT before the Holy Week break. As of yesterday's refueling the consumption is at 9.7 km/l which is good considering that this is still expected to improve as mileage increases (the car's current mileage is around 600 kms). We were able to go to the hilly portions of Rizal and Laguna and climbing behaviour is competent. The car hasn't reached NLEX or SLEX yet, only provincial and city roads. Overall I am happy with the car.

[coolpix32]

Seriously considering the Rio. Not decided yet if sedan or HB. Looking forward to more reviews.

Salamat ng marami!

I'm glad you're enjoying your new Rio sedan, trotsky. Thanks for the feedback.

I hope I can schedule a test drive tomorrow at Kia Pangasinan. They are still closed due to the holiday today.

Totoo ba na wala na 1000km PMS ang Hatch? 1st PMS daw 7500km na? nasa 800+km na ako, nabasa ko sa kabilang thread Pasay branch daw ok ang service kasi medyo luma na yung thread. Can anyone confirm this? Thanks!

[dashgarcia]

Its 1000km or 3-months which ever comes first for the first PMS.

Parang yun din namention sa akin ng Sales Agent. Pero parang napaka confident naman ng KIA na pwedeng hindi mag 1000kms PMS.

By the way, I think napalabas ko yung "katok" na sinasabi nila about sa accent, parang umaalog na shaft (clack clack clack??) lumalakas when accelarating.. tama ba?? pero nung napark ko yung car for around 4 hrs.. then mga 20 mins of driving, hindi na bumalik yung "katok". 1st guess ko is hindi malinis yung Gas na napakarga ko.. pero nasa 3/4 na bago nangyari? d ba dapat right after pa lang magpafull tank lalabas yung prob agad? So far di ko pa nalalabas ulit yung hatch kaya di ko pa maobserve..

[spymaker]

update lang. my rio ex mt was delivered last 19 march. 250 pa lang odo. city driving is 7km/l. napansin ko lang na whenever i turn the ignition switch to ON, may hissing sound from the engine for a second. parang pssssst while the needles in the instrument go up and then down. any of you guys experiencing this? TIA.

[jaymd]

normal yan. yum subaru ko ganyan din sound pag nagsweep yun needles before ignition. para bang systems check. hehe

[dashgarcia]

Its really like that spymaker. Sa HB ko ganun din. No worry its normal. Ako mix driving 10km/L (sama na dun super heavy traffic). Got my Rio last April 3 lang.

[jaymd]

BTW sound is more like zzzzzt ?

If consistent ang Kia, that should be the case. Yung 2010 Rio ko, at 7500km din ipinapasok ng Kia for its first PMS.
