Kia Rio hatchback

Kia made a bold statement about reliability when it introduced an industry leading seven year/100,000 mile warranty across its entire range, and it seems like customers aren t having to make much use of it. The Kia Rio is the first of two Kia models to make the top ten most reliable cars list and none of its direct rivals, like the Ford Fiesta or Renault Clio get close. The 1.1 litre diesel Rio can return seriously impressive economy figures too, so if you re looking for an efficient, reliable supermini, the Rio is a good value proposition.
