We bought this car June 21st, 08 July 2nd we left from FL. to CA. for a month long trip.We averaged 19 MPG on the highway and had to turn the AC off for more than half the trip as it was so week to pull the hills. WE traveled I-10 going to CA. and I-40 coming back as we went to the Grand canyon and all. Before we even left for our vacation the seats started coming apart and by the end of our trip we had several issues. We feel Kia had a great idea but this model needs some work. It would be a great car "IF" they could improve the gas mileage, performance & quality of workmanship.
Dump your SUV's and minivans.......

For most people, their practical needs in a vehicle are gas consumption, space, highway performance, handling in city driving, and price. I've had this car since February, and even though I'd never even heard of this car until 9 days before I bought it, it is by far the best vehicle I've ever driven on all of the practical counts above. You can use it like a cargo van with all seats down, you can carry 7 passengers, it's deceptively fast on the highway (cruises at triple digit speeds while quiet as a luxury sedan inside), and comfortable in ways you'd never thought of before (best seat entry ever), the ABS and ESC make handling smooth. Not for drag racing, but who really does that anyway?

Bought a 2008 Rondo used, only 16,000 miles got the LX with the V6. Couldn't be happier space inside is great for having car seats, plenty of storage in the back ( I have the 5 seater) Very comfortable to ride, good pick up on the pedal. I dont have the annoying wind noise in the driver side. Just love it!
SO FAR SO GOOD,KIND OF SURPRISED

Bought this 2008 new.Have driven it for a month. Wanted a hatchback instead of a sedan. Looked at Vibe,Mazda,Matrix but for the price of the KIA, others weren't close. The most striking thing is the interior. LOTS of room everywhere. Not cheap looking and its loaded,remote,power windows,locks,cruise,ESC,ABS. Lots of storage space. The 4-cylinder gets to 65-70 smoothly and is surprisingly quiet. Gas mileage isn't great for an engine this size though. I'm a little worried about the recall on the fuel pump. Under the hood,seems accesible, isn't jam packed Don't complain about how the car looks from the outside if you ended up buying it...duh. If my Rondo is this good in a year, I'll be sold.
