What Makes the Kia Rio So Popular?

The 2009 Kia Rio just hit the Alberta market and brings with it style and power like never before. Kia, an auto manufacturer known for creating affordable cars that last, offers a shocking 10 year, 100,0000 mile warranty on its Rio - making it one of the most long-lasting and beneficial warranties of any manufacturer on the market! Here's what you can expect from the 2009 Kia Rio:

Extra space

The Kia Rio brings more roominess than ever before, including seating for 5 with plenty of leg room and storage space to make travelling comfortable - whether it's near or far.

Power

The new Rio has 110 horsepower behind it, making it faster and more powerful than many other small sedans on the market. Plus, despite its powerful engine, it delivers 35 miles to the gallon on the highway. With that kind of mileage and comfort, you can drive to your heart's content.

Affordability

Kia is known to provide cars at economic rates. Because of the warranty and gas mileage, you know that when you purchase a Kia, you are not only purchasing a car that will last, but also one that will save you money at the pump every week.

Safety

Kia has a 6 airbag safety feature standard on every car. Plus, the car comes complete with airbag and seatbelt latch sensors, anti-lock brakes, 3-point seat belts throughout the car, dual front airbags, curtain airbags, fog lights, and 24 hours roadside assistance. You'll never have to wonder about your tires either with the 24 hour tire monitoring system.

The 2009 Kia Rio is not only one of the safest cars in its class, but it proves that driving a small sedan doesn't have to be uncomfortable. With enough leg room for all occupants and gas mileage to get to where you're going cheaper, you'll love taking the Rio with you on all of your trips!

KIA Really Does Deliver On Its Promise Of One Hundred Thousand Mile Warranty

If you are considering a new car you really have to look at the KIA. Recently a friend of ours who has a 2004 KIA Sedona broke down three miles from her home on a Friday evening around 4:30PM. She was all upset about the van being out of commission for the weekend because she had several places to go with her children. At the time it didn't seem that we would be able to get any help until Monday. After trying to start the engine again all of the dashboard lights came on at once and we were afraid to try anymore for fear of causing more harm to the vehicle.

Around an hour had passed and a neighbor stopped to see what is wrong and jokingly said why don't you call KIA, they claim to stand behind their cars and have a great warranty. So we did call them and were surprised and pleased at the same time that they sent out a tow truck right away to get the disabled van and tow it to the KIA dealership twenty miles away. The tow truck came right away even though it was 6:30 on a Friday evening.

They weren't gone more that two hours when the phone call came from the dealership telling us that they fixed the problem and they just wanted to make sure someone would so they could return the van. When they came into the driveway we didn't really know whet to expect, such as, what were they going to charge for the tow, etc. The driver brought the keys over and explained what they had found wrong with the engine. It turned out that the cause of the problem was short in the alternator. The driver then proceeded to tell us to have a good weekend and there will be no charge, not even for the tow.

We were really surprised and impressed how the whole issue was handled. It's good to find a company that literally stands behind their products without fine print and double talk. Needless to say my next car will be a KIA. If you are thinking about buying a new car you may really want to give KIA a serious look. They have some really impressive models to choose from too.
