    Yup I agree on that one, bakit nga ba binawasan nila features ng Rio un sa safety pa. Para sa akin yun lang naman downside nakita ko, sa engine between Vios 1.3 at Rio 1.4 +1 ako sa Rio sa price range na 2 car na to. I don't know if may airbag din ba ang Vios 1.3 standard unit.

    *grail80: Sir oo nga ngayon ko lang nalaman may sedan din pala ang yaris kala ko puro hatch, sayo ko lang nalaman, hehe, thanks sa info.

    for all kia rio owners...something to be proud of...

    coding ako last week so i took a cab going home about 230am. nasakyan ko is kia rio and i was kinda surpised when i saw na total KM na tinakbo is 267K! i asked the driver kung tama yung figures na nakita ko and he said yes kasi more than 2 yrs na daw na 24 hours ang byahe lagi ng taxi nya.

    i asked kung na overhaul na and what other ang nagka problem at kailangan palitan. the proud driver said that hindi pa na overhaul ang makina, napalitan na yung belts etc. at yung mga pang ilalim like shocks, etc at brakes lang. maayos pa ang takbo ok na ok daw sa maintenance.

    so sa mga owners at future owners ng kia rio...good decision for purchasing it...

    Basta alaga sa langis at ibang maintanance tatagal ang sasakyan kahit 24hrs ginagamit at depende rin sa driving habit ng driver.

    Wow, great news to sa mga Rio owners, I don't mind other people say about its resale value because this car is for keeps. Sarap ihataw, from Bulacan went to NKI Q.C. this morning and I'm so amazed sa power and handling, bilis ng acceleration kahit Shell super unleaded lang gamit ko siguro mas ok kung V-Power.

    Better get the 2006 and above model po, IMHO panget yung early versions ng Rio.

    magalimg kia sa marketing both rio lx ex same price walang power feature lx except steering lang kasi target nila pan taxi, pero ex rio wala white puro colored. kaya siguro tinatanggal nila other features like airbag foglightpati yung control sound sa steering kasi siguro ilalabas nila yun pero in much higher price na nakita ko kasi sa google yung rio sa ibang bansa kumpleto talaga so i think we have to wait na lang sa complete na kia rio

    Airbags are not mandatory here so Kia and Hyundai delete this feature to lower the price of the local spec Kia Rio and Hyundai Accent models.
    If your concern is safety, both the Vios 1.3J and 1.3E have a driver's airbag, the 1.3E has ABS + EBD.

    Now there's even more competition for the Rio...

    P725K Mazda 2 1.5 MT: 103PS 1.5 liter engine, 15 inch alloy wheels, dual airbags, ABS + EBD, all power-features, 60:40 split folding rear seats.

    P685K Fiesta 1.4 Trend MT: 95PS 1.4 liter engine, 15 inch alloy wheels, driver's airbag, ABS + EBD, all power-features, 60:40 split folding rear seats.
    *P766K Fiesta 1.6 Trend Powershift

    P670K Fiesta 1.4 Style MT: 95PS 1.4 liter engine, 15 inch steel wheels with full covers, driver's airbag, ABS + EBD, all power-features, 60:40 split folding rear seats.

    Kia Rio 1.4 LX MT: P695K
    Kia Rio 1.4 EX MT: P695K
    Kia Rio 1.4 EX AT: P745K

    Maybe these new "better equipped" affordable sub-compacts will make Kia add more features to the local spec Rio.
    Higher spec Rio with airbags...

    Nice steering wheel.

    Good Day!
    Meron din akong 2008 Kia Rio tropical red.. Satisfied ako sa rio- bigay na bigay ang tulin especially along Star Tollway dito sa Batangas.

    Napatakbo ko na sa 180kph at ok pa rin ang stability nya, nag-aalala lang ako sa speed limit ng gulong. Pero malakas talaga ang makina at Euro style ang body.
