The 2008 Kia Rio.
Being practical doesn't mean you have to take the joy out of life. That's the thinking behind the Rio. It's affordable and likes a good time as much as you do.
The Rio has a range of features to make every ride an enjoyable one. On the outside, the Rio SX has a sporty, dynamic look with standard alloy wheels, body-color rear spoiler and available front fog lights.
On the inside, Rio's class-leading roominess***, great sounding audio system and power everything make Rio the perfect companion to hang out with.
The Rio comes standard with class-leading safety features***, including six airbags, impact-absorbing steering column, front and rear crumple zones and side-impact door beams.
And, best of all, you'll get outstanding estimated highway fuel economy of 35 mpg** and the reliability of a 10-year/100,000-mile warranty.
Everything you need. It's easy to see why the Rio is a great value and miles ahead of the competition.
*** Based on comparison to 2007 models. ** With automatic transmission. Based on 2008 EPA highway estimates.
