    If there is one automotive channel that deserves 1m+ subs it's you guys. Even the most professionally set up channels don't do 3D models of cars they'd like to see or renditions of what cars look like if ______. All with a genuine sense of humor and fun. You are the only channel that could review a 600HP BMW and then come back the next week to make a KIA Rio seem just as fun.

      EliteSlayer542 they were at 120k subscribers about 2 weeks ago, if they keep averaging 7-10k subscribers a week, they'll get somewhere. For an automotive channel; that's a pretty rapid rate considering most of the ones I watch sit within a 10k following window for months and in some cases years. I hope this channel goes far.

    • @diw9046
      @diw9046 6 лет назад +1

      Exactly. Most big channels dont even bother to at least take a close video of what they are talking about. They just record it from a meter away. These guys are the best. So glad i came across this channel. Also like the fact that they dont say cars are bad just because of their brand's past.

      i have a suggestion guys. it would be great if you could do a quick test insert on how loud the car is on the inside. you could show the dB at idle cruising and max rippin. that would be soo good. And another thing if you could do is more night time reviews. Some cars just look waay better at night. Anyway keep up the good work guys. this is my go to car channel. other channels are soooo boring. this is fun and light hearted and not too nerdy. TheStraightPipes FTW!!

    So, I bought a 2019 Kia Rio recently (last Friday actually) with exactly the same features as the one you tested. Except it's in black. The 2019 is same as the '18 and the price about the same. I tested the Mirage, Versa, Micra and even a FRS - used...As someone who gets buyers remorse time to time, I'm happy to report I'm VERY happy - thus far - with my choice. The six-speed is awesome and I can't wipe the smile off my face as I throw through the gears. My one major "want" was a manual tranny. I just didn't think this was going to be so sweet. Great review. Thanks.

    Hey guys.. I was looking for a small car to get to work and landed at kia. I was blown away by the rio. Its biggest selling point is that it feels and looks more expensive. Not to mention that it’s super smooth and spacious for its size. I ended up getting a kia soul ex tech because I got a demo for a steal and I prefer the ride height. Your video on the soul makes me wish they had a deal on a turbo so I am keeping my eyes open for one now.

    @FlapJack4Gaming 5 лет назад +5

    I just got a rio hatch as my first car ever(2018 250 miles), and before you kill me, it's an auto. But I have good reasoning! Basically I got the top model with a ton of features, yes yuri it has android auto and apple carplay, which made my mom happy, and the craziest thing is that I got the TOP model, only 1 year old(2018), an it's the same price as the 2019 BASE model(with no a/c). It's $4,000 cheaper than the 2019 same top model as well. It's a steal if you ask me an I love it. Oh and the gas mileage is great, cost 25 for a full tank an I fill it up about every 2 and a half weeks.

  • @SayMoreTaimoor
    @SayMoreTaimoor 6 лет назад +34

    Aw yeah! Bonus video! You guys have seriously become one of my favorite automotive channels! I even got my brother to watch you guys and we have a good laugh about the visor test and satellite radio rewind when we see each other.
    On a separate note, I really think Kia/Hyundai/Genesis have become some of my favorite car brands. They literally cater to the enthusiast crowd. Not only that, but they offer some luxury features in a base car (like heated seats AND STEERING) that aren't even an option in some top trims of other vehicles. I mean, a base Audi I used to have did not even have heated seats and this Rio has heated seats and steering. That is awesome!
    It makes me sad that people continue to dismiss Kia/Hyundai/Genesis. These brands are really pushing themselves away from their previous image of being cheap, disposable cars, especially with cars like the Stinger and even this Rio. Moreover, it makes me sad to see enthusiasts dismissing these cars. Enthusiasts want high horsepower, luxury, RWD (or AWD) cars, and Kia literally gives them that with the Stinger and yet "enthusiasts" dismiss it because they are worried about depreciation. Come on, guys and gals. Really? You are the ones who are supposed to go out and buy the Stinger to promote the brand image, which subsequently convinces more people to buy the brand and respect it, thus increasing resale value. Then the same people will inevitably complain that there are "no cheap, fun, RWD (or AWD) vehicles."
    After seeing what Kia/Hyundai/Genesis has been doing, I have been actively convincing my own parents to buy a Stinger due to how luxurious, attractive, and fun it is.
    Support these brands that cater to fun and excitement before they are gone for good!

    I have the 2015 Rio LX+ Sedan with the same 6-Speed manual stick...and seems like you'guys the only people who shared exactly the same verdict that it's really a fun car to drive. Nicely equipped with heated front seats, 4-wheel disk brakes, AC, cruise, traction and stability control, infotainment, etc. Surprised that the hp has gone down from 138 to 130. I still remember the smile in my face as I drove away from the dealer. I am fully satisfied with the car and my only pet peeve is the low passenger seat with no height adjustment. I've put up 60K+ km and so far nothing has wrong! I got it for about $12K that time, very frugal on gas, comfortable and very reliable. If KIA will make this neat 1.6 liter turbo available with the Rio...maybe that's the time for me to think about trading, lol!

    • @FreewayBrent
      @FreewayBrent 5 лет назад

      @@DrewLSsix: I know what you mean. I live just outside of San Francisco and prefer a subcompact hatchback because of the tight parking situation on San Francisco's streets. I put 141,000 miles on a 2013 Rio LX hatchback, and while it was ultra-reliable, my main gripe was how terribly inadequate the suspension quality was for California's badly maintained roads...going over even moderate potholes was something you really had to brace for.
      What got me into the 2018 Rio was when I had to rent one for 4 days on a long weekend trip in the Pacific Northwest. May as well have been a completely different car. Similar body dimensions, but the newest generation is much more refined...and the suspension is far and away the biggest improvement. Handles (almost) all of California's potholes pretty well, and combined with better power delivery and acceleration at the lower RPM's, and sport mode for when I need that extra ooomph, plus more interior space and comfort....yeah, it's legitimately a comfortable city and freeway car that feels sturdy at 80 MPH. Great value for the money.

    I picked up a 2020 rio lx+ almost two weeks ago. I wanted a commuter car that was good on gas. With the 6 speed MT I couldn’t be happier. Rev Hang in the first few gears is something to get used to but not enough to make me regret anything.

    I actually bought a 2018 Rio LX simply because it was cheap, good on gas, and had a 6MT. I got sick of spending $500 a month on premium in my C35 Laurel. There is a bit of delay when you blip the throttle, which makes downshift rev matching quite difficult. But then again, it is a base model Kia.

    I have a 2012 Rio in automatic, and though I like the features of the car, I hate the transmission. I previously had a Hyundai Accent (2013) in manual, and it was far better.
    With this low power, buy manual.

    I own a 2013 kia Rio hatchback base model but automatic. Just no power windows or locks and I can say that I'm overly satisfied. It was my first dealer car that I bought new. I still drive it and it has less than 40k miles no issues. I'm looking for a new vehicle and I dont want to exaggerate but another kia rio hatchback is sounding pretty good. Might get a manual this time

    @e1337prodigy 6 лет назад +10

    Kia - make the pincher. Also make a coupe a version for the countries where it always rains (here in the UK); you can call it "Pinched". I think the cars that are "underpowered" are generally more fun; all you need is, comfortable seats, great gear changes, good induction and exhaust sounds and fun handling then it doesn't matter on power; just rev it out and you're still under speed limit with a huge grin in your face... I really miss my Suzuki Swift Sport.
    9:19 you missed an opportunity to have Yuri in the Navigator and Jacob in the Rio.

    I have a 2018 Kia Rio LX hatchback (the US version), with the automatic transmission with the ability to manually shift through the 6 gears. Bought it 2 years ago when it first went on sale in the US in August of 2017.
    I drive a lot, and have put approximately 80,000 miles on it (nearly 130,000 kilometers). Happy to report that I haven't had to do a single thing but oil changes up to this point. Even the stock Continental tires still have enough tread for another 5,000 miles or so, and the front brake pads about the same. Transmission flush not due until 150,000 miles...spark plugs due at 120k. Comes with a lifetime timing chain, so I won't need to replace that. Another key note to note...the suspension is just a single torsion beam. You can put 200k on the car, and you probably won't need to replace anything back there. Saves a lot of money in the long-run.
    The US automatic transmission comes with a sport mode...I can actually go from 0-60 in approximately 7 seconds with sport mode engaged. Not bad for a cheap economy car!

    Truly love your enthusiasm for manual transmission. My wife and two kids also still enjoy manual. Looking to replace a manual transmission Ford Fusion that is now auto only. Leaning toward Forte, but your review makes me consider Rio. Someone else is now enjoying our bought new 2011 Kia Soul with manual tranny that they took over @ 240,000 km with original clutch and incredibly reliable.

  • @alwin3705

    This, in a nutshell, explains why I love my 109hp 2000 civic coupe DX manual so much still. You can have so much fun, body roll and all and not get into any trouble. Awesome review! Also, Yuri? what was the issue with the sound, and how would you fix it? (I also do video production so im curious to understand the problem). Thanks!

    • @rightlanehog3151

    • @alwin3705
      @alwin3705 6 лет назад

      Only time will tell! If Kia and Hyundai are under the same brand, perhaps not? I had a friend with a 2012 Sonata and he had all sorts of recall issues with it, including one along the lines of "engine may randomly stop working altogether!" IMHO, I am impressed with how much better Kia and Hyundai have come recently. But I can't speak to their overall reliability.

    • @rightlanehog3151
      @rightlanehog3151 6 лет назад

    • @alwin3705
      @alwin3705 6 лет назад

      I don't think even the current model civics match the old ones. They still have great value and great transmissions, but they're larger, not as nimble, and replaced V-TEC with turbos. They're good cars, but just not the same.

    I got a 2013 Rio LX with a 6 speed in the fall of 2012... it's been a great car. 120,000+ miles and the only failure was the starter at 105k. It's fun, gets 38mpg, and goes almost 120mph. I'll strongly consider replacing it with another rio in a year or two.

Its build so well. was a top spec model with android auto etc. Its for me build just as well as a vw interior. it looks upmarket and its very comfortable. Im sure if you go for higher trim most body roll will be eliminated due to 17 inch wheels and fun factor will also increase.. thanks for video!
