Kia would do that and Mitsubishi would, too! My '08 Lancer GTS' CVT is working like a champ, BTW. I am surprised how easy it was to leave a 5-speed manual tranny behind and go to the CVT. Truth be told, most of the time I jut put it in 'D' and drive, gentlmen! Thing is, Nissan should step up and cover these people with Warranty fixes at no cost to the consumer.

I hope the navi is available in the NA market. Oh and Nissan's CVT aren't prone to problems I rarely hear of any problems and I know quite a few people with Nissans with CVTs. This looks so good!

Wow, I surprised the Nissan CVT is causing problems. Also I didn't know there would be a Rio hybrid. Kia is on the move. My riding lawnmower has a CVT, lol, works great! I can't see a huge tranny in a small car. Kia is going to have to produce a reliable car. Thanks for the info about the transmission. Wow, I surprised the Nissan CVT is causing problems.

The interior looks to be very quality built, similar to the new Hyundai i30/Elantra wagon. The front fascia reminds me of Lancer.

I was looking fr plans of CVTs related to Kia on the web and found out that the Rio Hybrid will be the first Kia with a CVT. And where 's the Forte badge on that thng? Did they put pix of a prototype in the catlogue? I’m at an Internet cafe right now cuz our internet isnt working.

More than likely it'll get Optima's wonderful, beautifully smooth 5 speed. Some people are hoping for a 6 speed. The 6 speed transmission is almost as big as the 1.6 that goes in the car! How could it possibly fit??? Our neighbor has a Nissan with CVT tranny. She is having lots of problems with it. Nissan's P.O.S. warranty won't cover it, and to get her car back to normal, it will cost 10,000+ dollars. She is pissed and taking the car back under lemon law.

I just did the math, and if a 1.6 liter gasoline got 38 MPG and a 1.6 liter diesel got 48 MPG, with diesel prices the way they are, you would save money by geting the gasoline engine! There is really no point of having a diesel!! Diesel is outrageous in price.
