Favorite feature: |

Least favorite feature: |
Car is somewhat noisy while driving and can't see well out back window when raining |
Advice to buyer: |
I'm buying another one as soon as my insurance settles |
Detailed review: |
Responsive, handles well in turns, adequate horsepower, somewhat noisy while driving. Don't like the angle of the rear window when it rains. I like the style and appearance of the car but rear window needs a wiper if it's going to remain at the current 2006 angle. Also, I bought my Sapphire Blue, (I changed it to Seahawk Blue) '06 Rio LX and 29 days later was in an accident and was T-Boned on both sides. Unfortunately, my new car was totaled and also the driver side airbag did not deploy. The only airbags to deploy were on the passenger side, where nobody was sitting. I however, was basically unhurt, bad bruise on left arm from hitting the vertical bar between doors. I question why my door bags didn't deploy but considering what hit me, the car did a good job of protecting me. Only time will tell about the vehicle quality. Will know more in 5 years. |
