Used 2007 Kia Rondo Consumer Reviews
Really like it
I never expected to buy this car. I had been looking since late summer and was all over the place. Matrix. PT, HHR, Fusion, vans, etc. Then suddenly this new car came out and I was amazed. It was like I designed it for me. It was a perfect compromise between everything I needed. My kids even said the back seat was roomier than our Buick. We did not get the 3rd row. I have the 4 cylinder and it's very peppy and quiet. Some 4's get pretty noisy but not here. My biggest concern is that it is brand new but the Kia warranty made that work for me. Plus we got the 2.9 interest and $1500 in rebates and the price at "invoice". Overall very pleased after a few weeks.
First Observation
Just got our Rondo EX, I am 6'3" and Rondo has excellent headroom and good legroom. Great build quality, excellent driveability. Too early to give estimate of fuel economy.
My 07 Kia
Only about 250 miles on my 07 but so far enjoying it, have the 4 cyl with 4 speed and for at least the Sacramento Valley its all I could want or need. Had the windows tinted though, with all that glass would not like to slide into one in the middle of summer without some shade! Overall impression: If you're just starting a family or just want a nice vehicle to drive around in it would be hard to find a better deal than the Kia Rondo!
Quality Family Car
As our old mini van was on it last legs, we came across the Rondo. I am glad we did! It is a good car at a very reasonable price. It is the perfect size for our family of 4. We have taken it on long trips and find it has the room to haul all our stuff and is very comfortable. The only complaint I have is that the seats stain for no reason. It is like the stains are coming from the inside of the site. Cleaning with water only makes it worse. I have contacted Kia about this issue but have not gotten a reply just yet. The roadside assistance is also a great feature. My wife picked up a screw in her tire and called. They showed up quickly and were able to patch the tire on the spot.
My First Kia
I bought this car brand new with only 41 miles on it and I thought let's see what all the rave is about. After having the car a little while and putting 2,100 miles on it, I must say that I like it. The 3rd seat is kind of tight but overall I like it.
