Kia 2 Rio Auto. Any good? - pork_pie

Yesterday my fathers Civic Hybrid got written off and needs a replacement by the end of the month.

He needs an automatic and needs it to be second hand. None of them automated clutch systems.

I have suggested either the 61 plate Honda Jazz ES CVT or a 61 Kia Rio 2 Auto.

The cost to change will be about 4k but I am going to go with him to both dealerships this weekend to check both of them out. I have experience of the Jazz but not the Rio which I think looks really nice inside and out.

We test drove a Rio and the i20 last April. Sister cars. The Rio had much poorer rear visibility than the i20, and a poorer gearchange (not an issue for your father as he wants an auto).

We went for the i20.
