pros
Great on gas, comfortable ride, big screen with Apple CarPlay and nice backup camera. Feels very safe, surprisingly fast on Sport mode, a couple miles less MPG but it gets you around on the highway no problem. Highly recommended
cons
A blind spot detector would really help round out this little car however for the price you’re paying for a brand new vehicle you couldn’t ask for much more I’m very happy with this important purchase

pros
We also have a 2018 Kia Rio, so when we bought the 2020, we were very surprised to see that it now has a CVT transmission. We love the way it feels and accelerates. The car (like the 2018) requires constant monitoring to ensure you're staying in your lane as it drifts way too easily.
cons
The way it tends to 'sway' out of the lane when driving above 35. In our other cars, you point the time wheel and go. On the Rio, every little gust of wind seems to require steering adjustments, like it's too lite on the road,
