A GREAT BUY!
The Rondo may not get you looks on the street but the function is superior of any car in its class. This is a GREAT buy for people who need room and don't want to bleed your wallet. The ride is wonderful and the finishes are excellent! I purchased a FULLY LOADED Rondo for less than half loaded competitors cars. Unbelievable deals are out there on Kia's. I would absolutely tell anyone interested in a new car to look into a Kia. The warranty itself is a no brainer.
Lots of features for budget family
I was looking for a car to replace my 13yr old Saturn wagon with more passenger and cargo capacity and a moon roof. We set a budget of $20k and had our eyes on the Mazda5 for the past several years. Recently we realized the Rondo to be the only direct competitor of Mazda5 that fulfilled our requirements. It has good mpg for my daily driving mostly on local. Highway mpg is slightly lower than expected but should be improved after breaking in. The V6 has good acceleration and is very quiet. The second row is roomy even with someone sitting in the 3rd row. With the $4K cash rebate, we got it loaded with options (leather, moonroof, 6CD/MP3, etc) and still within our budget.
Interior Room Light
2008 Kia Rondo Why does my room lights( the 2 lights in the cargo bay) stay on whenever I turn my headlights on? I've move the selector to: on/off/door and they never turn off. its distracting when driving at night. Any suggestions/remedies? YIKES!!! help.
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.

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.
