2012 Kia Rio

[mcdknight]

Hello, been back reading the past week as I got a good quote from an SA lotsa freebies (with GPS HU etc.) a good discount, and really seriously considering getting one. question is sa mga new HB Owners ano yung manufacturing date ng HBs nyo? Would the HB units in stock sa mga dealerships be of manufacturing date 2013? Sabi nung SA 2013 na din daw considered ng model though wala daw nabago from 2012. TIA

Check mo yung KIA emblem, if hindi naka-emboss yung letters, new batch na yan... yung akin emboss pa yung letters. Yung mga papers na nakalagay sa cars na galing sa Korea plant di ko sure kung meron dates nakalagay dun.. Other than that di ko na alam kung ano pa ang ibang diff

Thanks Sir, according to the SA, Oct'2012 yung batch nung nasa planta nila dito.

Kanina was trying the Rio HB 1.4L, impressed ako gadgets and the design. Pero nung nagtanong ako sa Service shop sa problem ng Rio, meron daw funny sound ang Kia Rio sa engine. Nang ma isolate, the fuel rating was the problem, Korean's Unleaded engine was rated 95 Octane while Philippines Unleaded Rating is 91-93 Octane. Ang recommended nila use Regular gas with 95 Octane. Maybe this will also solve the FC. Just sharing...

In the May 2013 issue of top gear their comparo for this month is Rio 1.4 Hatch vs Accent 1.6 CRDI
I wont mention who won (I wont spoil)but there appears to be something wrong

They Claim the Rio gets 9km/L in the city
The Accent get a more believable 12km/L in the city

Is this a joke or has the Rio fc problems been fixed?

[renzo_d10]

^ Why?

Nangangarap-level ba yung claim nila sa Rio?

Or kulang yung claim nila (should have been more than 9...)

9 is achievable sa rio kung walang traffic sa city.

Normal fc ko 8.5-9 km/l sa rio 1.4at HB

With same route our sf gets the same fc as rio then GS namin gets only 7km/l

Hmm, thats good news, Im actually looking at cars in the 800k price range (pero matagal pa, ilang months pa)
I like the rio's looks but then I saw the 5km/l and I went back to picking between the fiesta or lancer

*c_cube May I ask? Your profile says down south, Is your 9km/l from alabang to makati runs or similar?

Sta cruz/quiapo manila to better living bicutan is my daily route. That's 20 kms one way and normally my travel time is an hour and 15 mins. Pag maluwag kalsada mga 50 mins to 1 hour kaya naman.

Regarding the fc, maybe i just got lucky na matino pa fc na nakukuha ko compare sa iba and i made it a habit to use 95 octane gasoline. Checked my spark plug from my 1st pms, malinis naman ang sunog ayon sa service personel

But if i have 800k back then and available accent hb, yun na kukunin ko. Lamang lang ang rio hb sa looks and toys, yun lang! Masakit man aminin.

If ayaw mo accent HB, Go for the lancer IMO

If 5Km/L lang ang Rio mas malakas pa sya sa gas kesa Sonata at Optima?

Head to head comparison? Syempre talo RIO. Pinagtapat nila GAS vs DIESEL, AT sa MT... Tama ba naman yun?

Tama claim nila na 9km/L sa RIO.. Actually it's 6-9... Ako kasi 7, literal na City driving, Binondo traffic.. Still, iyak ako sa FC ng Hatch hahaha

Sa wakes, naglabas na rin ang kia ng ECM upgrade for engine knock. Sana Lang makasabay sa update ang mga dealers dito sa Pinas. Checkout https://www.kiatechinfo.com/Index.asp

Hi guys,

Newbie lang ako dito, kakagawa ko lang ng account pero matagal tagal na din akong lurker... I got my Rio 1.4 EX M/T (sedan) as my first owned car last Feb 2013.

So ayun, nababasa ko kasi yung tungkol dyan sa ECM/ECU upgrade. Applicable din ba yan sa rio ko na sedan? Parang mostly kasi ng andito naka Rio HB.

Hanggang ngayon wala pa din akong plate, talaga bang matagal ngayon mag issue ng plate? Actually nawawalan ako ng tiwala sa SA ko, hindi ko alam kung inaasikaso ba or kinakalimutan lang talaga.

What's a ECM ? Planning to ge this car soon pero kung ito ang FC sa city eh might change my mind.

[aldrin_ramirez]

Regarding sa FC.

Reliable ba yung stats na nakaindicate sa car? sakin kasi lumalabas 7.7L/100Km, so lumalabas nasa 12.98 Km/ L yung FC ko tama?

Route ko ay from Masinag (pa antipolo) to Mckinley Hill Taguig, C5 ang daan ko.

Rio 1.4 EX M/T.

[renzo_d10]

Usually may ~1km/L discrepancy sa actual figures sir. So mga 11km/L++ yung actual.

[aldrin_ramirez]

Thanks sir renzo. Masasabi natin na okay naman FC ko given na mag 4 months pa lang sakin yung car?

* all

Nasa 4200 Km pa lang naitatakbo ko, * 7500 Km ko pa balak dalhin sa casa para sa first check up. Dapat ba talaga abutin ko yung 7500Km? 4 mos na this june yung car eh, may nabasa ako dito na 7500Km or 4 months (whichever comes first) yung unang check up. Yung sa 7500Km nasabihan ako ng SA ko tungkol dun pero yung sa 4 months dito ko lang nabasa.

[Mikemike07]

Ganda naman ng service interval nila. Tuwing 7.5k ang kia? If so, maslow maintenance pa sila sa honda and mitsu. I hope its durable enough though para mapanindigan pagiging low maintenance. Natutuwa ako sa sedan ang ganda ng itsura.

[spymaker]

i noticed that if itravel short distances or less than 15min drives, mas mataas ang fc ko compared to 30min drives. strange. btw, davao city area ko.
