Pareho tayo ng FC. I do agree that the RIO is a fun drive. I think a notch better than the VIOS.

very smooth ang engine minsan nga namamatayan ako ng makna ndi ko alam problema ko lang yung clutch ndi ko pa magamay sobra lambot ng clutch minsan naabot ako ng 2k rpm pag arangkada,tama ba yung sabi ng kia service na nag automatic yung aircon kasi parang ndi sya nag automatic shut off parang dere derecho ang takbo ng aircon ganun din ba sayo, thanks

[feanacta25]

Titanium silver pala yun,kala ko brown...hahaha,tanga ko talaga,anyways I really want either red or black,pero after seeing on the net a white EX with carbon fiber hood,trunk and wing I would say a white one will suffice,hehe

-sir meron naba na kia rio ex na white alam ko wala e pang taxi lang yung white

Ganyan din ako nung una, madalas mamatayan pero ngayon bihirang bihira na and nakakaarangkada na rin ng below 2K RPM.

Lahat ng aircon ay automatic. Obserbahan mo yung clutch plate doon sa compressor, dapat on and off sya. Typically dapat sabay yung condenser fan pero ang observation ko naman sabay lang sila nung radiator fan. Hindi ko na rin gaanong pinagkakaabalahan kasi malamig naman ang aircon at okay naman ang engine cooling.

Actually kung dirediretso ang aircon compressor engagement mo ay titindi ang lamig ng oto mo kahit nasa pinakamababang "cool" setting (yung blue range) ka. So kung nareregulate naman yung lamig depende sa thermostat setting mo ay okay lang iyan.

in terms of private?yup i saw those cruising on congressional ave kung saan merong Kia showroom I dunno kung gagawing taxi un or whatever but for me it looks fantastic! since wala nang Vios na white at saka white looks good sa Rio eh mas pogi ang dating plus a decent mags wafu na

Mga gurus kakadrive ko lang few days ago ung Accent CRDi and it was fast, probably due to the turbo kaso ang observation ko 4k rpms ang limit eh,di ko sure kung baka hindi ko naidiin or talagang ganun. We rented a car to check which is which and honestly speaking the Accent's acceleration rocks! however the Rio that I tested was an AT(how sad ) but still a decent acceleration and feeling ko robust ang engine eh smooth pa,medyo luma na tong tanong ko pero talaga bang ung CRDi+VGT ng Accent ang panalo--meaning the engine itself only?hence those 2 minus the engine eh Rio na panalo?by the way we are planning to acquire at the end of the month after a series of questioning which is which these brothers came into conclusion,kaso mahirap eh,power vs handling,hahaha,and efficiency at looks narin plus future performance mods narin but as they say the Rio handles well...

I read somewhere that the RIO with A/T is sluggish in acceleration when compared to the M/T variant. You should try to testdrive a Manual transmission variant.

That's what I observed and by the way its my first time driving an AT either so I don't know if its me or the car,hehe...I'll visit the showroom in Congressional Ave and check the MT version before deciding which to purchase probably by the next 2-3weeks: Accent diesel/gas or Rio

Yung foglamps ko is an original. I ordered it when I was getting the car. It was installed by Kia Pasig. I think the price was about Php13K+. I'm unsure lang kung may mabili outside sa casa na original. You can probably try scouting banawe.

[timo07]

maraming salamat po sir tim.

Marami sa Banawe. Pero go for quality rather than price. Nababasa ko dito ang seatmate has good workmanship. Yung innova ko, i ordered the seatcovers from Lederland in West Avenue. Quality, fit and finish is excellent. Sa Mags naman, marami rin shop yan. Banawe, P. Tuazon in cubao, etc. Autocentro sa cubao din. Depende kung saan ka malapit pero Banawe area is best bet. I suggest
