So from what I hear the Rio has been getting some serious attention in the automotive market lately. I have been doing some work for Kia lately and there has been a lot of discussion about the JD Power award they just won. I like Kia cars but all this attention is kind of a surprise to me. On the other hand, it is really impressive to me to see a car company actual doing something for real to improve their cars. Anybody else know what I’m talking about. Let me know what you think.

Some of them have Issues right from day 1 so I'd stay clear of the Sportage and the Rio is underpowered ( I have a buddy who is a mechanic for them and he was swapping transfer cases on the Sportage as soon as they left the trucks)

Anyway, they're as invisible as a Jaguar XK (look at the sales figures). :lame:

i wouldn't say the kia or rio is bad, but they're just common transportation. are they even tunable as a standard car?

No way. The Carnival isn't as cheap as catching a bus. The Rio isn't as cheap as catching a taxi. And if they made a limo, it wouldn't be as cheap as catching the train. :lame:
