How good is a kia rio vs. a Honda Civic (as far as reliablility and gas mileage)?

There is normally a dipstick. On ours it was in the bcak, but it has to have one because nomally you need a place to add after you drain the fluid right? So look in the owners manual or go buy a chilton manual that will help. Good luck!

Is it hard to install a remote car starter?

You are right, there is no dipstick. That's because you're not supposed to check it on your particular vehicle. On the bottom of the transmission pan, there is a two stage drain/fill plug. To drain it, remove the big hex drain plug. To fill it, replace the hex drain plug, but remove the center torx plug. Either attach an adapter to the opening, or fill with individual bottles of Mercon V with the nipple type cap attached to the bottle and squeeze until the bottle is emptied. Start vehicle, and repeat this process until fluid starts to come back out when the bottle is removed after each fill. The reason Ford doesn't provide a dipstick to check or fill the transmission is to weed out any "Joe's garage" topping up with the incorrect fluid, in an effort to reduce manufacturer warranty claims on failed transmissions due to improper fluids being added.
