  Hi, drove a friends 1.5l manual Kia Rio before.
  
  Built wise not very solid, with rather flimsy door and car bonet etc, and the power of the car is only average, for manual. Not too sure abt auto one though, but theoritically should be worst off by a little.
  
  However, space is okie (as big as the Vios i must say) and with its pricing, I'll consider getting it as well if my budget is ard 45k-50k.
  
  Look wise, personally feel its better looking than the Accent.

  My prev car was a Kia Rio 1.3M
  
  As a basic pt A to pt B car, its ok.
  Pretty nice looking car (subjective), the exterior body shell is rather soft. You will get dents and dings easily.
  
  Fuel consumption so so only, i'm getting about 11-12km/l.
  
  Go for the 1.5 model if you are considering this car. The 1.3 feels pretty weak and is getting about same consumption figure as a 1.5

  S13 is the nissan 200SX. Its the older generation of the current Silvia S15.
  
  Anyway, here's a pic of the S13, hope it clears your doubt.
