Why the 2002 Kia Rio?

Why Not the 2002 Kia Rio?

Dealer practices

Got the advertised price on vehicle but dealer packed extra stuff on deal. However, successful class action lawsuit got me half of that back.

Materials & workmanship

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.

Handling

Little sense of control. Drift all over the road and much worse in the wind.

Safety & braking

Brakes never felt good and solid. They still stop the car.
