Kia Rio safety
Asked by Richard Munday
My wife and I bought our daughter a secondhand 2010 Kia Rio when she got her driver's licence in 2014. Last week she was T-boned on the driver's-side door by someone going through a stop sign at approximately 60 km/h. Fortunately she survived the accident with only whiplash and a few bruises and the little Kia Rio stood up to the collision with the considerably larger Honda CRV remarkably well. Thank you Kia for manufacturing an affordable compact car with excellent structural integrity. Grateful father.

24 Jun 2016Good to hear. We get a lot of complaints about various cars, many about the new types of automatic transmissions, which seem to be the bugbear of today's owners. While we focus on things like the dual-clutch automatics we forget about the really great advances that have been made in car technology. There's no better example of that advancement than the safety of the cars we now drive.
