I love the kea rondo for several reasons. 1) no mechanical defects 2) smooth ride 3) roomy 4) crossover but big interior I really have no complaint's except some electrical problems. Not very noisy. Maintenance is easy. Great vehicle control. Brakes are excellent. Have almost 100,000 miles on it and still runs great. Gas saver especially on hwy miles. great trunk space in the hatch.

I bought the car because I was a golf coach and needed the third row seating. Now I have retired and spend time antiquing. Whether toting six golfers with three rows of seats or hauling furniture with the back seats laying flat, this car's versatility has suited me. You feel like you are riding in a SUV on the inside. It sits high and is a comfortable ride. Not only is it comfy, the V6 engine has lots of get up and go while also averaging nearly 30 mph. I have had the car for eight years and have amassed 120,000 miles with no component breakdown. I've only had to perform routine maintenance. The downside is its budget interior. It feels very plastic and is difficult to keep clean. The carpet in the rear is cheap and I gave up keeping it clean. It's not the coolest looking car... looks a bit like a fat station wagon. But the price, value and versatility make it worth it. I've had several friends with more expensive cars remark how much more pleasant it is to ride in my chunky Rondo.

The 2008 Kia Rondo is an awesome car! It is a cross-over but classified as a station wagon, which made the insurance super cheap. It handles great on the highway and got great gas mileage on a four-hour trip. The v6 engine has a lot of get-up-and-go on the highway, especially when passing cars. The Kia Rondo has a huge windshield to give you plenty of area to see out. The Kia Rondo is a hatchback and has concealed compartments in the back to hide items on long trips. My son's Xbox and my laptop fit perfectly in the compartments, which was really nice to hide them if we had to get out for a rest. The CD player and speakers put out great sound with no distortion. The Kia Rondo also comes with a new feature that tells you when your tires are low. That feature will come in handy on our road trips. The a/c is beyond cold! I had to keep it on low when my son and I went to visit family. The car stayed cold even on the low setting. I would definitely recommend the Kia Rondo to anyone who asks. This is a great car!
