Kia Rio
The subcompact category is quite well represented: Chevrolet Sonic, Ford Fiesta, Honda Fit, Hyundai Accent, Nissan Versa… and let’s not forget the Kia Rio! Offered as either a sedan or a hatchback, this car proves that small size and superior equipment can go hand in hand. The 1.6L four-cylinder under the hood develops 138 horsepower and 123 lbs.-ft. of torque. A six-speed manual transmission (or a six-speed automatic) delivers the power to the front wheels.
