Our recommendations
Which used Kia Rio hatchback should I buy?
Engine
You’re unlikely to need a diesel engine in a car this small, so we’d go for the 99bhp 1.0 turbo petrol, because it’s a flexible engine that copes well with city traffic and motorway journeys alike, and you won’t have to spend a fortune on fuel.
Specification
You'll get all the equipment you’re likely to need with 2 trim, and it even gives you automatic emergency braking, a reversing camera and lane departure warning for increased safety. Go for a late 2018 example and you'll get the larger (7.0in) infotainment system, which is easier to use than the smaller screen fitted to earlier cars.
