Please house, kindly advice btw kia rio 2009 and hyundai accent 2010. which is more reliable, durable and cheaper to maintain in terms of availability of parts.are the part cheap compaired to Honda civic 2002.

Kia Rio and Hundai are very expensive to maintain. Your best bet should be a Honda Civic. Kia and Hyundai may look fanciful and cute but they will definitely give you heartache. When they start their problem it will look as if all the witches in your village are after you. Don't say I do not warn you.

Chai first to comment

Sometimes people just talk based on hearsay. Get one that is problem free and has not been abused ( go with a competent mechanic, there are a couple of them here on nairaland), then ensure you carry out good maintenance culture.
Pro: excellent fuel consumption, fairly good suspension and a decent interior coupled with more newer parts in comparison with cars in the 90s/00.
Mighty ac for a small car.

Con: you won't be winning any race anytime soon. Engine is 1.4-1.6l.( not that you won't get to your destination). parts may not be that available, depending on ur area ( though this has improved considerably in recent time)
That model does not come with airbags ( though the ones abroad does have airbags), blame Dana for that, they brought the watered-down version to Nigeria.
In summary, it's a nice little car with a smart attitude. If you want a little car that will take you from point a to b without any frills, this is your car.
Most importantly, go with a competent mechanic.eod

The Kia product are more preferable than the other Korean brands for the following reasons. Accessability to spare parts, good mechanics and easy maintenance.

I thank you all for your contributions, God bless.

Please pay no attention to the first response. Both Rio and the Accent are extremely reliable cars. I own 2 Kia Rio(s) and recently acquired an Accent all within the years you mentioned which are used for Uber. The parts are readily available and are not particularly expensive. Hyundai is the parent company of Kia and the cars you mentioned both use mostly identical parts so it really boils down to the look you prefer. I went for the American versions as they come with better options. Hope this helps and good luck with your search.

I was in kia rio few hours ago. The car is very small and it looks like cars from the 80's . So what year is your rio, so that I can stay away from it. And I ask the driver, he said he hates the car. And also that the owner is collecting 40k a week. I was shocked the car looks like a 2007 model. But the ones from 2012 upwards is a lot better. Looks more modern, but looking at the car and talking to other rio owner. I was told it is the worse car for the job. Well that's my opinion on it. Personally I will never driven one on rental . Even if one picks me up. I will reject it. The car is too small for my liking. And also when the dri

ver was driving on the highway. I thought and felt the car was about to take off and fly. Never would I put myself at risk again
