We've said it before and we'll probably say it a few more times in the months and years to come, the new Kia models now available at Palm Kia represent a transformation from the automaker. From design to comfort to reliability, everything about the new Kia models of the last few years have impressed judges and drivers alike. And you can add one more impressive redesign to the list: the 2012 Kia Rio.

Of course, we're biased, so we'll let James Raia from The Weekly Driver explain why this car is so popular. "...The Kia Rio redefines the top level of entry level cars. Several prominent automotive sites have mentioned it as a contender for car-of-the-year honors. It's hard to disagree."¹ Well, when you're right, you're right, and Palm Kia certainly can't disagree.

What makes it such a stand-out car? Well, sport wheels and a spoiler give it a zippy edge, small front corner windows increase visibility, the side mirrors retract with the touch of a button, and a rear window defogger and wiper are just another added convenience from Kia. The Rio is full to the brim with safety features as well, six standard airbags and antilock brakes, and an impressive warranty package to boot. How could this possibly get better? Well how about the top trim level (The Kia Rio SX with a 1.6-liter engine, 17-inch chrome wheels, and a sport-tuned suspension) for just $18,000? Did we mention the 27/36 city/highway mpg rating?

Sounding pretty good to you too, now, isn't it? We don't blame you! Contact Palm Kia today to learn more about the Kia Rio and all of the other impressively designed new Kia models we have in stock. Or stop in and see us at 2305 SW College Rd Ocala, FL 34471 to take one for a spin.
