I have a 2018 Rio in Canada
One thing I can say....I love my Rio. The car is solid, rides well for such a small car, I find it very quiet, has more than adequate power and handles very well. I have the EX Sport, but it doesn't have paddle shifters. The heated seats and steering are an awesome addition, the Auto Wipers are nice too. Fuel economy with mine is excellent, as I am getting 5.2 to 5.8 L/100Km regularly, (38 to 42 MPG respectively). I just got my UVO working yesterday, and it is an awesome feature. Power Moonroof is a nice addition, and the Auto Climate control works flawlessly. I added a 12" Rockford Fosgate Powered Subwoofer for a little extra sound filling, but the rest of the Stereo is all stock and works perfectly. The seating is comfortable, and the Tilt/Telescoping Steering make finding a comfortable position easy. The seats have the little lever to pump up the seat height too, and I really like that alot.
All in all, I would buy this car again, and I recommend it to anyone looking for a very nice Econo-Cruiser. I have zero complaints with the vehicle after a few months of ownership. It is surprising the amount of technology and features packed in to a car that is considered "Bargain Basement Model". It has features that many other more expensive vehicles don't have.
