Rios are kinda expensive in my opinion, and they value will depriciate like crazy, but they seem to get good reviews, got some low end torque, but nothing happens at high rpm, its a 1.6 liter so don't expect too much. My friend got it for his fridge repair job, he does a lot of driving.
Toyota Matrix is probably worth looking at, much stronger engine 1.8L and roomier.
can't believe my friend switched from 60k matrix to a brand new kia with 0miles
2.5L v6 27mpg 195hp SVT CONTOUR sold now... but i would keep it, or get a silver one. (ford screwed up when he started putting plastic waterpump in duratec engines, we did engine swap on that moster, not as easy as nissan 2L)
Beautifull car sold also... it was auto, so no keeper, my dad tuned timing by ear, after that it passed emmission with like 0 numbers lol.
Im going to atlanta auto show tommorow. Here is pics of last year, I hope to get a salvage/bad engine wrx and fix it up.
