Hi, drove a friends 1.5l manual Kia Rio before.
Built wise not very solid, with rather flimsy door and car bonet
etc, and the power of the car is only average, for manual. Not too
sure abt auto one though, but theoritically should be worst off by
a little.
However, space is okie (as big as the Vios i must say) and with its
pricing, I'll consider getting it as well if my budget is ard
45k-50k.
Look wise, personally feel its better looking than the Accent.
