If you're looking for a car under $10,000, the Kia Rio is a good choice. This subcompact car is practical and affordable, especially due to its size; you can even find a relatively recent model at a low price.

Its 2012-2017 generation came with improved handling and a smooth 6-speed transmission, making it even more enjoyable to drive. Its manual or automatic transmission also allows it to offer a reduced fuel consumption rating.

As a testament to its quality, RepairPal ranks it among the top 30 most reliable cars, as it requires very few repairs over time. With its advantageous starting price and the savings you'll make at the gas station and garage, the Kia Rio is a choice to consider!
