anybody heard about the kia rio yet?

[sethster27]

Has anyone else heard the noise that the Kia Rio has been making in the auto market lately? I’ve been doing some work with Kia recently and there has been a lot of talk about the JD power award that they recently won. It’s kind of a surprise to because I like Kia cars but its not something that you would expect from them. It is however, awesome to see a car company working hard on improving the quality of their cars for once. Has anyone else heard anything about this?

The quailty of the Kia product has vastly improved over the past several years. I, too, am impressed with the focus on quality. The Rio truly is a nice vehicle. The new Optima is getting a lot of attention, too. The Sedona (minivan) also gets a lot of looks. I work with several Kia dealers, some dualed with other imports. The customer might come in on the other product, but when they see the value and the quality line up Kia offers, they very often drive home with the Kia product.
Good forum, anxious to see other feedback!
