This car is hot!!

I fell in love with this car the first I saw it - so cute - but the big thing was the functionality. It is all things to all people - peppy - nice comfortable seats - great ergonomics. Haven't filled up with gas so not sure about the gas mileage but that wasn't a deciding factor. Just wanted to upgrade my wife out of the Dodge (just went off warranty) to something she liked that had loads of warranty and was a great buy!

I had always steered away from foreign cars but this deal was too good to pass up. I have been commuting with it since and all the needs I have are being met or exceeded. The amount of room is spacious and the fit and finish appear to be tight and thought out. It is no beauty queen but it is sleek and clean. I hope it continues to meet the needs my family and I have for comfort and safety but so far it is one of my best vehicle decisions in years.

Awesome SUV, Wagon, Minivan???

Awesome power off the line for a 4 banger. Quite smooth ride. Just got out of a Saturn ION, so I'm spoiled by gas mileage but at 53 yrs old I'm tired of falling into and dragging myself up and out of a compact car. The Rondo is a perfect in and out. I'm sure the mileage will get better as I only have less than 700 miles on it so far. I'm a semi retired rock musician so if I need the space for my gear I have it. My wife drives an '07 Sportage and is less than satisfied with the mileage, but she wanted an SUV so I told her not to expect great mileage. She had an' 03 Optima but decided she wanted an SUV. All in all I'm in love with my Rondo and this is our third new KIA. Very reliable vehicles.

2007 KIA Rondo EX V6 Luxury

I purchased a 2007 Rondo EX V6 Luxury in Aug. To say I am pleased is an understatement. I traded my 98 Legacy wagon on it, and though it lacks AWD, the Rondo is quite adept at handling our snowy December (our dealer added a set of studded winter tires on rims as part of the deal). I like the handling, the acceleration, the brakes, the looks, the comfort, the practicality, the quality - I like everything! The 3rd row seats are great at toting an occasional 5th or 6th passenger, and provide lots of space when folded. Everything works so smoothly and efficiently - the seats tumble or fold so well, the controls are smooth, etc. What a car! Truly one of the best values in autodom today.

Great everywhere except gas

I bought the Rondo new and love it. Just hit 1000 miles, handles great rides like a sports car with a softer feel on bumps, gas mileage is lacking (6cyl) not close to what the sticker says average 23 on highway. But other than that has all the bells and whistles that higher priced cars have and feels safe and secure on the road, went from a Subaru Legacy wagon, huge improvement for our family, very easy with kids car seats,lots of room in front for drivers (5'10"230 lb football player) and man can it move when you need it to,long drives are now fun but city driving will kill your wallet,but worth it, don't miss out on this for a better name brand car is worth the test drive.

Good for 6'7" driver

My last two vehicles were an 04 Titan and an 06 Spectra5. The Titan was awesome but awful on gas. The Spectra 5 was awesome on gas but too cramped. When I took the Spec5 in for it's 30K I got a rental Rondo and I traded in the Spec5 that day. I'm happy with the Rondo. Power is decent with the I4. The auto is slow to downshift. I use the manual shift feature a lot. Mileage is decent, 26- 27 hwy, best is 31.5 MPG @ 65 MPH. Comfort is really good for me (6'7"). The interior is extremely spacious and useful. I mainly carry myself and my bicycles around. I can stack 2 bikes in the back with the front wheels detached. I usually get a new car every 24 months but this one's a keeper.

I enjoy driving the Rondo but you feel every bump in the road and that is uncomfortable. The gas mileage is okay but I had hoped it would be better (don't we all?)

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.

Gasoline

I am not the perfect guy to get great mileage.(4 cyl.) My job requires a lot of in town driving and some idling. In Texas, if you have an outside meeting, you get into someones car with the a/c on. After 6 months, I have had only 1 tank of gas that got over 22 miles to the gallon. The pro's make this still a great purchase. I got the last 07 and got my car for under 15k. I would do it again.

Poor gas mileage.

I bought this car because my husband really liked it. I have to admit it I think it is a real cute vehicle. The only complaint I really have is I get extremely poor gas mileage. I have the LX four cylinder and get only about 12-15 mpg in the city and about 20-22 mpg on the highway. With the gas prices today I am going to have to sell it.
