Used 2008 Kia Rondo Consumer Reviews
A real sleeper!
The Rondo is a well put-together small car that feels bigger on the road that it really is: the V-6 engine is very quiet, the transmission shifts smoothly, and the amount of room for 5 passengers is simply amazing. I'm 6'5", and the Rondo has plenty of head, shoulder and leg room for me and a 6' passenger riding behind me. Maybe it won't set you heart on fire, but it sure gets the job done without any fuss.
Great for the price
Great vehicle for a small family car, seats are a bit small but not uncomfortable. Lots of room for kids to stretch without burring knees into back of seat. Two row has a lot of storage options. Nice pep off the line but lags above 50 mph. Exterior doesn't command a lot of attention, but doesn't repel the date for the evening either.
2008 kia rondo; RIP
i really liked this vehicle over the 11 years i owned it. weak link were the brakes. always had to replace brakes and rotors ... brakes were undersized.... finally after 113454 miles i have to get rid of it due to leaky water pump, and cracked block. but of ot were still made i'd buy another one. it was only sold here in the usa 2007-2010. very versatile vehicle for a family.... paul k.

Extremely Disappointed
I now believe I made a mistake buying this vehicle. I thought it was going to be a great investment. Not so. The gas mileage is poor and there is this extremely annoying wind noise on the drivers side. based on other commentary, it would seem that it can not be fixed. Yeah, the vehicle does not look great but we bought it for the features and the price. We are very disappointed and are looking at our options of getting something else. It does not handle particularly well on the road. It has a tendency to float and I can almost see the gas gage move. Like one other guy said, I guess you get what you pay for.
