| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 110-horsepower 1.6L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
Last Kia I sat in was about 8 years earlier - cheap flimsy plastic. When I sat in the Rio, I was immediately impressed by the improvements they have made. When I get passengers who have never ridden in a Kia before, they often say they are surprised to. |

| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 110-horsepower 1.6L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
cheap material on seats but nice style. outside molding around windows started to crumble away |
| 2002 | 4dr Sedan 96-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
It was built with the cheapest materials possible. Replaced OEM tires with cheapest ones I could find and the car handled better than it did brand new. Carpet is amazingly thin, etc. |
What Our Members Are Saying about Hyundai Genesis Materials and Workmanship

| 2012 | 4dr Sedan 333-horsepower 3.8L V6 8-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
This vehicle has been more reliable than any of the 28 vehicles we've owned. Flawless exterior. Flawless interior. Only one recall apparently for a brake issue, despite no symptoms. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 375-horsepower 4.6L V8 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
The paint job is great. Fit and finish of all interior parts is very good, with no problems so far. Seats very comfortable. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 375-horsepower 4.6L V8 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
so far extremely impressed |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 375-horsepower 4.6L V8 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Excellent fit and finish and very solid construction, inside and out. No rattles whatsover. Blue-ish interior lighting is elegant and clear. Note that leather in the 4.6 trims is noticeably softer and higher quality than in any of the 3.8 trims. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 375-horsepower 4.6L V8 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Fit and finish are impeccable. Car just has a look and feel of quality about it. |
