Which Hatchback to buy?

OP is not interested in either, go check his options.

Hasn't stopped you before.

All three cars are good, but I think you should rather to a price vs feature comparison. I think you'll be surprised of how badly the Fiesta fairs against the other two. My vote is for the Kia Rio though

The Rio looks the best imho but the new figo comes better specced.

I like the Rio, I spoke to the dealership, they said that second-hand Rio's are hard to come across, and are in high demand.


As for the Ford, I found out about the one at The Glen, the mileage is 91000km for R110k, is that a lot for that price?

I have looked there, but my concern is that all the <R100k vehicles are down town Johannesburg, not sure if I want to buy from there, are they trustworthy?

My friend has the Fiesta 1.4 Facelift, apparently that Ford 1.4 is heavy on fuel. I'd go Rio, I20, Fiesta; in that order.

Interesting... my friend has the 1.6 pre-facelift, he says he gets around 6.9l/100km

My 2005 Fiesta had about the same consumption as my i20 and a colleagues Rio, but Nangi's friend says that the newer one is heavy on the juice, so it must be so...

What is your consumption like on the i20?

6.5l/100km open road @ speed limit. 7.5l/100km driving like a gentleman around town. If you floor it at the robots and drive 140km/h+ on the highway, expect around 8.5l/100km.

That is still not bad...I am getting 10-12l/100km while driving lightly at the moment
