2008 Kia Rio5 Professional Reviews:

cars.com reviewed the 2008 Kia Rio5 and gave out” The Rio5’s handling capabilities exceed expectations; it maneuvers eagerly through urban or rural environments, and its body rolls less than anticipated. Backseat space isn’t too appealing. Legroom even in the outer positions is marginal if the front seat is moved appreciably rearward. In addition, the hard rear seatback reclines too much for true comfort. Still, headroom is passable and foot space is adequate. Climbing into the backseat isn’t very difficult.”
