Be careful lang sa timing belt...marupok ang timing belt nya....kahit di pa due ang PM, kapag me time silipin ito kung ok pa, para iwas pusoy....

Yep sad to say walang airbags ang Rio na offered dito sa RP. With regards to your other question, I have friends who drive the Vios, but when I let them drive my Rio gusto nila makipagpalit ng kotse hehehe.

Parang gusto ko na ring mga-rio, medyo alanganin lang kasi sa brand. My friends are suggesting vios.

Magbibigay kasi ng 60K company ko for my car, 30K dun is share talaga nila at 30K is utang ko sa company. Tapos monthly 12K ang ibibigay na panghulog. Got a vios quotation already at 80K cash-out then 13,700 monthly. Tapos yung sa Rio 30K cash-out, 13,500 monthly.

Pag sa Vios ako, kailangan ko pang mag-dagdag ng 20K, bale 50K lahat ng personal cash-out ko. Samantalang sa Rio, di na ako maglalabas pera. Halos pareho naman sila ng monthly downpayment.

Lahat kasi mga co-worker ko naka-vios na, kaya gusto ko namang maiba. Ang pumipigil lang talaga sa akin are the bad comments about kia. Anu-ano nga palang kulay available sa rio? Mostly kasi yung mga ino-offer ngayon, white, parang pang-taxi.

*eee7: Sir hanap ka lang ng dealer na ok kausap. Ako muntik na ko mabigyan ng white na Rio EL, pero hanap ko talaga EX with manual transmission, but yung manager ng unang pinuntahan ko pinagpipilitan nya na walang EX na M/T, EL lang daw which is power steering lang and the rest manual na like door locks and side mirrors at white lang ang color. By Wednesday ideliver na ang Rio EX ko Tropical Red (before Titanium Silver like ko but I fell in love sa Tropical Red ng makita ko tapos Beige ang interior), all power, got a good deal pa bait ng SA. I can give you her number if decided ka na Rio na gusto mo. About Rio and Vios, nasa sayo yan sir desisyon mo ang masusunod pero andito ang Tsikot para tulungan ka makapag decide, laki ng tulong sa akin ng mga taga Tsikot back read lang ng mga comments ng cars na pinagpipilian mo I'm sure you will end up sa car na para sayo. Good luck!

Tama si sir thx see his comment above, kung saan ka masaya dun ka. May pros and cons both Vios and Rio. I testdrove both units and I like the Rio better. Like I said pati mga kaibigan ko na naka Vios they want to drive the Rio whenever they get the chance. Yung comment ng isang friend ko first time he saw the unit: "Iba na pala talaga ang build quality ng Kia, at ang sarap pa idrive." His daily drive way way back was a Kia Pride, but currently using a MB C200 Kompressor. When we go out together mas madalas namin gamitin yung Rio, iniiwan namin sa parking yung chedeng hahaha

Sir ygpm. Sir tulad ng sinabi ni grail80 try to test drive both cars para ma compare mo mabuti. Sa akin kase looks palang ng Rio panalo na European car ang dating and kung i check mo sa youtube Kia Rio is a worldwide compact car, sold in Australia, Canada, UK and US difference lang e may airbag ang Rio nila.

Ganun din naman ang Vios, it is sold as Yaris Sedan in other markets.

Thats the problem of the local spec Rio, they deleted many features, they don't even offer a version with an airbag or ABS. This is one of the reasons i don't really recommend the Rio.

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.

[thx777]

*eee7: Sir eto po yung tropical red color na gusto mo rin daw sabi ni SA.

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...

[speed unlimited]

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.

Hi Im new here, ask ko lang po if ok din yung Kia Rio 2004 model I am planning to get a second hand car kasi and I saw one. thanks

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

[jervoy016]

sir pano nyo po nasabi na pangit ung rio kasi po may balak po akong bilhin na kia rio 2004.. salamat po

from 2007 model and above kahit yung 1.3J meron driver side airbags, 1.5 models have dual airbags po sa vios.

[marky crusio]

inputs naman po sa FC of the MT and AT rio?

i have my Kia Rio 2007 AT, its actually a good car, and never akong iniwan sa daan...but let's face it pagdating sa pogi points, talo tayo sa honda. on saturday, i am actually swapping it with Honda City 2004.

the suspensions are not really that good...medyo may naririnig na akong kalampag esp. sa dashboard near the stereo...

to enhance it, i painted it with black..i spent 40T. but yet ang hirap i-deal...masyadong mababa ang resale value.

although overall, okay naman but if you think of the resale value after several years of usage talo tayo sa honda....

[drivenz]

mga sir hangang kelan poh kaya yung low down payment promo ng kia rio? 58k DP poh ata yun.... thanks poh.. hoping na makabili kami nito...
