Kia Rio Tops Subcompact Ratings For Consumer Reports

The Kia Rio topped the subcompact sedan ratings from Consumer Reports, beating out Hyundai and Chevy for the top spot. Perhaps this is why sales have been up 37% over the last year, and why customers are extremely happy with their new Rios. Come by today to see why people everywhere are choosing Kia!
Consumer Reports rates the Kia Rio the top subcompact sedan, ahead of the Hyundai Accent and Chevrolet Sonic, in its road tests released Thursday. 
CR test drivers praised the redesigned Rio for its nimble handling, smooth transmission and relatively low level of noise for a subcompact. The magazine also cited the Hyundai Elantra for top MPG and the Chevrolet Sonic for comfortable ride and good handling, but ranked them just below the Rio. The full results appear in the May issue or, for subscribers, online at the Consumer Reports web site. 
The overall tests showed how much subcompacts have improved recently as auto makers work to meet consumer demand and federal regulations for higher gas mileage. "Subcompact cars were once collectively known as penalty boxes for their noisiness, rudimentary interiors, uncomfortable rides and weak performance," notes David Champion, head of the CR auto test center.
