New Owner '06 Rio5

Kia-Ed - 29 Mar 2006 01:54 GMT
Hello,
 I recently purchased a new '06 RIO5, and despite almost all highway
 driving and the same style of driving that used to get me 30+ MPG in a
 larger, heavier car, I'm getting only around 26-27mpg in my first
 tanks full in the new smaller, lighter Rio5.

 My question is, do Kias usually have a "break in" period on their
 engines where I might expect the MPG to improve as I put on some more
 mileage?

 Also, while I have your kind attention, does nayone know where I can
 find a radio wiring harness for the '06 Rio5?  None of the local shops
 or even the mega stores carry it yet.

                     -Thanks in advance!

Greetings,

Sorry but I can't speak for anything concerning the Rio5, but if you are
looking for a radio wiring harness try www.pac-audio.com

They seem to have an extensive inventory and good customer service.

Cheers - Jonathan

They don't seem to have ANY model-specific radio wiring harnesses.
If they do, they've done a MASTERFUL job of hiding them on their web
page.

This should do the trick:

Or maybe you can find a Scosche dealer in your area:

I'm taking for granted that Kia's harnesses haven't changed on 2006 models..

Good luck.

I have a '06 Ria LX.  I started getting "sticker" milage consistantly
after I reached about 3500 miles FYI.

Thank you.  I've been getting better mileage each of the first three
tanks, so it's probably the same with me.  I appreciate your post.

I noticed my Sorento s mileage seemed to improve after break in.
It also used a little oil in the few first 1000 km
