You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Hello @renaldob!

According to a review that I have read, the Kia Rio5 LX is not a good car to purchase for a family.
Here are the details: For family friendliness it got a rating of 4.7 and it is not recommended for a family.
This is a subcompact five-passenger five door hatchback and one of the cheapest cars on the market. But it has poor crash test scores.
The size itself makes squeezing a family into a subcompact difficult to do.And even in the subcompact areas, there are better choices than Rio. It is cheap and fuel efficient but this is not enough to offset its two "Poor" IIHS crash test scores.

The 2010 Kia Rio5 comes in LX and SX models. After test runs it has been discovered that its family friendliness like that of Rio sedan is very low. The Rio5 scored "Poor" which is the lowest score possible in side and rear IIHS crash tests. It got only an "acceptable" in the front offset barrier test. So, based the two crash test sores, the Rio5 fails and it is not recommended for the family.
If you are looking for an entry-level family car at a Kia dealership, skip the Rio and try to check on the 2010 Kia Forte Sedan LXinstead.

Yes, it is the lowest priced wagon, inexpensive to buy and own while giving you a lot of space for the money.
