Kia Rio
The second generation of the Rio has been gracing Canadian roads since 2006. This urbanite, which comes as a four-door sedan or five-door hatchback, was updated last year and continues to deliver good service at a friendly price. The base model will impress you with its equipment, including Bluetooth and an MP3 jack. Rio drivers claim to be satisfied with its road handling and the 1.6-litre four-cylinder engine’s performances.
