The 2010 Kia Rio
Kia Rio has been one of the most affordable sedans in the market, and the 2010 Kia Rio won't be an exception either. With plenty of luxury features and a decent throughput of 109hp, the 2010 Rio will be an ideal option for those who can't afford to shell out big bucks on the Hondas, Toyotas and other expensive vehicles.
The 2010 Rio will share its basic design with its sibling Hyundai Sonata, though pricing-wise Rio will be a lot cheaper than Sonata. More so, the new Rio doesn't lag behind any of its rivals in terms of aesthetics as well as comfort. The latest generation Rio vehicles will feature a satellite radio, which will also be able to work as an MP3 player.
As far as the engine variations are concerned, the 1.5L turbo-diesel engine will be available on in the UK markets, while the North American markets will be flooded with the 1.6L DOHC engine that churns out 11hp.
Moving on to the fuel economy, the 2010 Kia Rio will follow the standards set by its predecessors and is expected to achieve a great mileage in excess of 25mpg. Even the safety features including ABS, traction control, optional heated front seats, front and side curtain airbags and much more will be made available in the new Rio.
Therefore, unless you're hell bent on buying the new Honda Civic, Accord, or Hyundai Sonata, the new Rio may just be the ideal package for you; that too at an extremely affordable price.

The 2010 Kia Amanti
The 2010 Kia Amanti will be a significant improvement over its predecessors that have been marketed in the past few years. While the earlier models lacked a bit of safety, touch of high end luxury features and sophistication, the mediocre 4-cylinder engines that delivered about 200hp never turned out to be a great attraction to the customers.
However, now Kia has revamped the new Amanti and loaded it with the V6 that churns out 260hp and competes with the likes of Honda Accord and Toyota Camry in terms of latest generation luxury and safety features. Everything right from full range of power accessories, ABS, traction control, front/side air curtain bags down to climate control and heater front seats are available on the 2010 Amanti.
Even when it comes to fuel economy, the 2010 Kia Amanti sedan scores over its rivals as expected; it also renders decent comfort to the passengers and driver too. But, it lags in terms of the cargo space, due to the difference in size (in comparison to larger sedans like Camry and Accord), though you need to shell out a whole lot of money on buying the 2010 Honda Accord or the Toyota Camry.
Therefore, as a whole, there are many positive aspects of the all new Amanti, while its cons have been minimized to a great extent. Probably in few years time, Kia may be able to bring it to the actual standards of Camry and Accord, while retaining the pricing advantage on its side.
