Award-Winning Kia Rio EX Now Available At Moritz Kia In Fort Worth

Online, July 24, 2012 (Newswire.com) - Consumer Reports gave the Kia Rio EX sedan top scores after a recent series of handling, ease-of-use and performance tests. The award-winning Kia Rio EX is now available from Moritz Kia at their Fort Worth dealership.

In the Consumer Reports review of the 2012 Kia Rio EX, smooth shifting of the six-speed automatic transmission was noted, as well as the sedan's superior handling agility. Also of note was the surprising roominess that the Kia Rio EX provides for passengers, a unique quality among the subcompact class.

"Subcompact cars were once collectively known as "penalty boxes" for their noisiness, rudimentary interiors, uncomfortable rides, and weak performance. But now improved redesigns, combined with affordable prices and impressive fuel economy, make a number of subcompact models good all-around choices for people looking to stretch their budget," said Consumer Reports' chief of automotive research David Champion.

The 2012 Kia Rio is also an Edmunds.com top pick in the subcompact car segment, noted for its powerful acceleration, stylish design and high-quality interior. The Kia Rio carries a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine that comes with a manual 6-speed transmission, with the automatic available standard on the Rio EX trim. The Kia Rio puts out 138 horsepower while achieving 40 miles-per-gallon on the highway.
