What is the reliability of Kia Rio's engine?

I've heard mixed reviews about the Kia Rio's engine. Some say it's very reliable while others have experienced issues. Can anyone provide more insight into the engine's reliability?

I've had my Kia Rio for 5 years now and haven't experienced any engine issues. Regular maintenance and oil changes have kept it running smoothly. I would highly recommend it for reliability.

I had major engine problems with my Kia Rio after only a year of owning it. The dealership said it was a common issue with this model. I would not consider it reliable at all.

I work at a Kia dealership and have seen a lot of Kia Rios come in for engine repairs. It's not the most reliable engine, but if you keep up with maintenance, it should last you a few years.
