somebitch Posted August 14 Report Share Posted August 14 i had to rent a kia rio and i believe it might be the worst car on the streets. the thing is brand new & everytime i back up there is a bang. it also doesnt speed up on the highway, i am scared to take it onto a highway b/c sometimes it doesnt speed up and other times its delayed. like i step on the gas and count to 3 and maybe ill get some pickup, maybe not, never know.

HAZE Posted August 14 Report Share Posted August 14 it puts out 104 hp so i'm not surprisedMy 1990 Celica puts out 109 hp and it's pretty quick, very good throttle response and it's an automatic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigpoppanils Posted August 15 Report Share Posted August 15 i dont think its the hp rating thats an issue (if it was, scion would be a massive failure)its more of a transmission issue methinks.in any case....you get what you pay for (in this case, not much) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kfitz73 Posted August 24 Report Share Posted August 24 I remember one time picking up my car from the mechanic. While I was paying for it I overheard the mechanic talking to a woman about her Kia. She was complaining about how her car had so many problems despite being so new. He just told her that "Kia's are the kind of cars you wipe your ass on..."

somebitch Posted August 25 Author Report Share Posted August 25 LOL. well i made it back in one piece. i actually hit 85 on the highway, the thing was shaking a bit. merging was tough, i just kinda go and hope people get out of the way. for your own good, if you see a kia on a merge lane, you should move over. people in kias have no control & no pickup.
