Fiesta time for smart little Rio - New Zealand Herald

It's been a helluva year for the car brands. Only a few saw increased sales, all apparently on the back of quality new products. Those with little to draw people into their showrooms did not fare well. Nor did brands which rely to some extent on their name and their character to sell.

Even bread-and-butter cars couldn't attract folk keeping a stern eye on their wallet, though the Kia Rio bucked the trend, with sales increasing last year.

It's a smart little car. Build quality has improved and the materials reflect a value focus but don't say 'cheap'.

Nor did the specification in this diesel hatch. The 1.5-litre, 81kW/235Nm motor got along quite nicely, that torque even spinning the wheels after over-judicious application of throttle.

Though the Rio will never be a racer's weapon it handled my demanding semi-rural commute with composure. It was easy to live with, too. There were cubbies where I wanted them, the steering wheel-mounted audio controls were appreciated - as was the climate-control air and the luggage net - and though the boot, at 270 litres, isn't capacious it was certainly up to ordinary daily demands.

Kia Rio...?

How do I use the windshield washer function on my 2005 Kia Rio?

I know I should be able to figure this out but I just can not find the windshield washer on my new 2005 Kia Rio, there has to be one, doesn't there? Please help me on this.


You should have an owners manual. Look up windshield wiper functions. It will be listed under that.
