There is a higher chances that poor fc is more apparent in the hatchback than in the sedans based on local and international threads. I am still hoping Kia will come out with a fix the same way Hyundai "cured" the all-new Accent fc problem in the past.

hi cyberian guess what after 2 days lang ng mag email ako sa kia.com my casa called me on my cel phone this morning they are asking me if i am free on wednesday dalhin daw sa mismo planta at i-test nila rio5 ko sabi ko ill call back to have my appointment,so mga rio5 owners better send email sa kia.com and address your concern,si allan chua ganito din ginawa kaso di pa yata sya available for the test

yes oliver i agree with you lalo na ngayon tumataas na naman gasolina kaya nga rio5 sub compact car choice ko nun kasi kung check nyo website ng kia australia naka lagay nga don tatlo klase na fuel consumption ang rio5 nila urban nasa 12km/liter,semi urban nasa 15km/liter, at highway 20km/liter,

Hi Rio5 - baka pwede sabay sabay nalang tayo para mas malaman ng kia at Columbia na maraming nagrereklamo. kahit naman siguro iba iba tayo ng casa, walang magiging problema dun dahil lahat naman kia at rio. just a suggestion though... hehehe!

hi valacirca ask lang kita kung bago mo ba binili yan rio5 mo alam mo na ba na may FC problem ang hatchback? did you ask your sales agent kung ano fc ng rio5? san casa mo binili? about my car kinakarga ko lang is caltex gold, so far ok naman no knocking issue and smooth ride,and if poor fc does not concern you well congrats its a great car nice features,four months old na rio5 ko nasa 2400km na odometer,the computer tells me im averaging 8km/liter on city driving but manual computation its 7.3km/liter,lagi sya may difference na [.7km]

hey guys gusto ko lang malaman sa thread na ito kung sino-sino na naka rio5,mag roll call tayo,alam ko lang si cyberian,allan chua,c_cube, ako,at si valacirca. paki post thanks

Thanks for the well-wishes on my purchase. Hehe. Sana ma-satisfy ako dito sa Rio

Guys, ano ba talaga ang fuel efficiency ng Rio dito sa manila traffic so far based sa mga naririnig at nababasa ninyo?

Ako kasi, a typical day would be 16km from home to work in the morning (approx. 6:30am - 8am). Moderate to heavy traffic ito most of the way since I'd be coming from the Cainta border of Pasig, going first to Makati via C5-Kalayaan to drop off my wife, then to The Fort via Ayala-McKinley.

And then the same 16km from work to home at night (approx. 6:30pm - 8pm). The Fort to Makati via Buendia flyover, then back to The Fort via Ayala-McKinley, then to Pasig via C5.

Ganyan ako malamang five days a week.

Wishful thinking ba na makaka-9km/L ako? What would be the most realistic estimate?

Clarification: I'll be driving the 1.4 EX AT Sedan variant of the Kia Rio

i believe sedan or HB FC will be similar.. kaya expect your FC at around 6-7km/l city and 8-9kms mixed

ah okay. thanks sir.

In general po ba, how does this FC of the A/T Rio compare to the FC of other A/T subcompacts like the Toyota Vios, Hyundai Accent, Honda City and Ford Fiesta?
