Kia Rio 
The 2018 Rio is brand new. Now built at a plant in Mexico, the Rio features a modern and dynamic body and an equally modern 1.6L four-cylinder engine. There are two six-speed gearboxes—a manual and an automatic. The Rio5, the five-door version of the popular subcompact, has also been updated. It may be small, but the Rio comes with a lot of equipment and advanced technology.
Pros
- Alluring design
- Decent handling
- Complete equipment (EX version)
- Surprising versatility (Rio5)
Cons
- Noisy during full-throttle acceleration
- Loose steering
- Disappointing fuel economy
- Performance has taken a hit
