Im trying to decide between the Kia Rio and the Hyundai Accent with
the 6 speed auto trans.  ... with only a $1500 price difference on a
new one. (Rio is less) .

Please tell me the reliability and MPG of your RIO , and pros and cons
you have ?   Thanks for helping me out.

2002 Rio - cheapest car I've every owned both in gas and cost-to-repair.

I have to agree, though along the lines, mine was also the cheapest on
features, no anti-lock breaks, all manual except the transmission. The
only "Frill" I found for it (which I didn't realize was an extra till
I heard a Kia Lot in McComb has many cars for sale without Air
conditioners!) was the fact that it does have air in my car.  I drove
from Lake Charles, LA to Brookhaven, MS and got like 55-60mpg
average..  I'd fill up in Westlake, LA (west of Lake Charles), and
drive 4 hours to Brookhaven (1 hour south of Jackson, just north of
McComb) and have 1/4 tank left.  The car's got a 12gallon tank, much
smaller than most vehichles!
