AutoExec Summary
Lucas reflects on his decade-long ownership of a 2013 Kia Rio S manual. Despite its modest price of $13,990, the Rio proved to be a reliable and practical vehicle with unexpected features. While it has some drawbacks like road noise, fuel consumption, and basic interior, it served its purpose well. The timing of his purchase coincided with Kia’s rise in the Australian market. Lucas appreciates the car’s simplicity, manual transmission, and hill hold assist, despite its imperfections.
