I recently purchased a Kia Rondo in April. Just this month they replaced the engine - the entire short block. It was making noise for a while and took some time to diagnose, but now my new car had to have a new engine put in. I am very nervous about this car for the future.
Made some window screens for camping!

I Love my 2008 Kia Rondo. It had 40 miles on it leaving the lot. I have nearly 60,000 miles on it now (2017). Love the idea of side airbags. I bought it for the ease of my elderly parent getting in and out. Front seats and the back seats a have plenty of legroom. I like the square back seat windows. I made two screens for it. I can put them in when watching fireworks from the car in comfort without pesky bugs getting in. I use them for when I'm camping too. I love that the seats fold down flat. I've slept in that car many times. I've hauled so much stuff with ease. I feel it's been fare on gas and I've kept up with oil changes and maintenance. I like that it tells me when air needs to be added in the tires. There's been many an air mattresses filled by the back end plug in. I wish a directional was standard, but I never really get lost. The only thing that I don't like is when the two back windows are open going down the road the noise pounds your ears. LOVE MY KIA !

I had rented a car in 2008 and they gave me a Rondo. When I first saw it I thought what the frig is this thing, but I fell in love. In July 2010 I got a 2008 with only 25,000 miles on it for $11,000. Was thrilled. The dealership was 2 1/2 hours away because I had a hard time finding a good one around where I live. I love my Rondo. While many say its nothing much to look at I like how it looks. The performance is awesome. I have taken it on two trips into the mountains and it doesn't hesitate. The V6 has a lot of power. The interior is very, very roomy and I love the compartments for extra storage in the back. There is plenty of room to haul things.
Great family car....so far....

I bought the Rondo for the price. I have only had it for a year, but so far it runs great and hasn't had any problems. The Rondo is very roomy and has a lot of features I would not have expected for the price. 8 different airbags, anti lock brakes, electronic stability control, 4 wheel disk brakes, and a auto shifter. So far it has proven to be a great family car and i would recommend one to anyone thinking of buying one. It does have a wind noise on the driver's side, which i have read about in other complaints, which the factory or dealers cannot fix, but it doesnt bother me anymore. I work with a bunch of guys with big egos, they make fun of me everyday for driving this vehicle...
A great MPV (multi-purpose vehicle)

The Power to Surprise the KIA slogan and its sure worked for me. The utility of this vehicle is incredible and cant fault the fit and finish. Its a very efficient design with an amazing amount of space inside for such a compact exterior package. With the chair like seating, outstanding visibility through the large side windows, its a joy to drive. The performance of the 4-cylinder never fails to impress me (it outperforms the 2.8L V6 on my previous vehicle) and provides great economy and very smooth shifts. I also noticed that even though its a tall vehicle it is not as susceptible to wind as much as my previous vehicle that was 10 shorter.
