Kia Rio 
The four- and five-door Rio lineup offers a quality product that can still keep up with its merciless competitors. Well-equipped and fun to drive with a 138-hp power engine, the Stop-and-Go system on the LX+ is perfect for urban traffic. The Rio is, after all, primarily a city vehicle. Six-speed automatic or manual transmissions are available.
