2012 Kia Rio EX





Wanted Rims instead of hubcaps... But didn't want to pay an extra $1k for the Convenience Package...

This is perdominatly a Commuter car up and down the hwy... The family car you can see in the driveway (2012 Kia Sedona EX w/ Luxury and Premium Entertainment Package)

i would have preferred another color, but the black interior only comes on the white and silver cars. i could not find a silver/black combo for over 1500 miles from me, and they wanted msrp as well. so, white it is. now i have 3 white cars in the driveway.
What color would you have preferred? I think white looks great imo :)

BTW, what is that black line just behind the headlights? I don't see it on any of the other cars. :confused:

There must be some way of making that 1.6GDI run the way it *ought* to run. Spongy, for lack of a better word. Back in the day you could feel how the engine ran. I want that feeling back. Computer flash, intake/exhaust, something. I haven't found much out there for this car.

On the highway, it runs great. I wish it had more oomph in town...

Hi guys. I posted photos of my 2012 Rio in another thread but I thought I'd upload them here as well for the benefit of those who haven't seen a 3 door Rio. I am the proud owner of 3 door manual SLS in Graphite which in Australia is the highest spec Rio. Someone wrote that the Australian SLS would be roughly equivalent to the North American SX by comparison. I've had my Rio about a fortnight now and absolutely love it!

Thanks jalaan1,

I hadn't seen the colour in real life until I picked my Rio up and I was blown away by it- the images I had seen didn't do it justice. I took the photos on a overcast day but when the sun is out that is when the car really shines- Graphite is the sort of colour that looks differently depending what angle you're looking at it from.

If I can I make a habit of parking my Rio in a space where I can see it from inside and it makes me chuckle how many people stop to check it out. There aren't that many Rios on the road yet here so it is still a bit of a novelty. :D
