THE difference between cheapness and value is well illustrated by the old Kia Rio. On paper it always looked better than it actually was. In all departments bar affordability most rival light cars have had it beaten. So consequently what you saved new you lost at resale time.

But now Kia has issued a new-generation Rio that shows progress in every department. It’s even cheaper than ever, but does it actually represent better value?
