2010 Kia Rio Review Summary
The 2010 Kia Rio, ranked 2nd by ACG in the Affordable Small Cars class, is well built car at an incredibly low base price. The Rio is a compact car designed for the budget-conscious person who needs a dependable, but not cheaply made car. Kia instills confidence by providing an impressive warranty at 10 years or 100,000 miles. It is also available with a 1.6-liter engine in two body styles: the sedan or hatchback, as the Rio5 wagon. The sedan body style comes in three trim levels: the base, LX, and SX, while the wagon only comes in the LX and SX. The basic model sedan is extremely basic, reviewers complain, with 14-inch steel wheels, defroster, power mirrors, a four-speaker radio system with CD player and satellite radio. The LX trim level adds power steering, 60/40-split-folding rear seatbacks, air-conditioning, a tilt steering wheel, and Bluetooth capabilities. The SX models features 16-inch alloy wheels, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, foglights, and a rear spoiler. Reviewers note that the Kia Rio interior offers fairly quality materials and a comfortable amount of cabin room, although the rear seats have more limited room for taller passengers. Many consumers note that the seats are not terribly comfortable. Trunk storage space in the Kia Rio is generous for its class, and although it has laughable acceleration, it also has all around excellent steering.

2010 Kia Rio Review Handling
The Kia Rio is a surprisingly quiet ride, even at high speeds. Handling: The steering is very precise and predictable, but road flows are easily felt by passengers. Despite the low price tag, the Rio is a good option for most duties.

2010 Kia Rio Review Safety
In government crash tests for frontal impacts, the Kia Rio earned four out of five stars for driver protection and five stars for passenger protection. For side impacts, the Rio earned four stars for front-seat occupants and only three stars for rear seat passengers. It should be noted that the Rio includes basic front side airbags and curtain side air bags at no extra cost.
