Car review: Kia Rio EcoDynamics
Kia Rio is an amazing 88 miles per gallon. But that does not mean it's an easy target when things get tough
£ 13.045
88.3mpg
Top speed 106 mphLast week, a girl
saved my life. Waking stumbling as we left the house of a friend, age 10, Kitty delayed our departure a significant 60 seconds - a time when we will pay for decades. We said our good nights and we headed for the cold night, the silence was broken by what looked like an empty skip to be launched on the road by an elephant loose. Scratching horrible graunching, correct racket hit finally came to an end. We were standing on the porch, frozen. Then, when the spell was broken, we ran on the sidewalk. Before us, steaming and hissing in the cold, was a broken wagon ride on the side, a trail of destruction in its wake, like a small tornado went through. The driver, stuck in a fish drunk, tried to open the sunroof, thinking it was the door. He was so drunk that much later, when he was cut fire, police had to carry the patrol car.
Given the carnage that initially does not recognize the car that led to the party - a happy little Kia Rio. Yes, there he was, had 10 feet on the road and on the sidewalk, her pretty face wrinkled like a winner pug. The doors opened and the front wheels were bent to one side as if bowing. I looked through the broken glass on the seats where we were sitting. So I'm at the point of intoxication waving uselessly in the bubble of his car and crashed (this surprised me, I must say) broken wrist on the roof and shouted through the glass of his face " Why are you driving when you are angry that? "Passers-by looked at me in light yellow. The drunk looked at me without expression, his mouth opening and closing guppy.
- if it was Kitty who saved us, I think the strong Kia little has been done a handful worth a try if there was not.
per km. Although laudable, ie robust security features that have caught my eye river.
To help avoid an accident, all of Rio are equipped with electronic stability control and emergency brake assist, which provides maximum braking power is guaranteed, even if it is not applied to your full braking force. Once an accident is unavoidable, you can put your faith in front airbags, side and curtain twin belts with pretensioners and load limiters for front occupants and front and rear crumple zones to absorb and dissipate force of an accident. Finally, when all else fails, there is a body so rigid and inflexible as the first row of Pontypool.
