If you’re seeking a fuel-efficient small car that is affordable, stylish, roomy and well equipped, the Rio sedan makes a great choice. Those worried about long-term reliability can take comfort in the Rio’s 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty.
If finding a car with the highest fuel efficiency, best resale value and strongest customer satisfaction survey responses are more important than a low sticker price, purchasing a Nissan, Scion or Honda may be a better choice.
