Comfort
Passengers in the back seat will feel a little more squished in the Dodge Challenger than in the Kia Rio, due to the Dodge Challenger's smaller rear head- and legroom.
As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between the Dodge Challenger and the Kia Rio in the front seats.
Convenience
The Kia Rio requires fewer visits to the gas station than the Dodge Challenger, making it more convenient to drive.
Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The Dodge Challenger will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Kia Rio, which has a much lower MSRP.

If you go with the Dodge Challenger, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Kia Rio.
Handling
The Dodge Challenger has a significantly larger turning radius than the Kia Rio, making it much more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.
Performance
