Kia Rio5
6 of 15
Because your hands are as cold as your feet and your tushy, you need a Kia Rio5. Not only does the Peter Schreyer-designed, Audi-esque compact look great, it offers the only heated steering wheel in its class. It's also no slouch in the spec department, with the Hyundai Accent's respectable 1.6-litre four-cylinder with direct inject, DOHC and variable valve timing, for a class-leading 138 hp and 123 lb.-ft. of torque. A six-speed automatic transmission is available too. Decent ride quality, decent price point (starting at less than $15,000), decent interior with decent space — the Kia Rio5 is a thoroughly decent winter option.
