Never Again

2009 Kia Rondo EX 4dr Wagon (2.7L 6cyl 5A)
7 of 11 people found this review helpful

Bought the KIA looking for a 3rd row. It has lots of room, but too many problems. Headlights have horizon line and are not good on hills. Bad vibration, which according to KIA was caused because the rims bent when car sat to long. The fix was to overinflate the tires. Airbag lights took several tries to fix, stereo was broken from day one, but dealer thought it was fine. KIA eventually replaced it, but the replacement was also broken. Trade in offers after about 7 months ranged from $7,000 to $10,800 for a car with about a $23,000 MSRP when purchased

Good compact SUV

This is a basic compact SUV. I have owned it (2009 model) for over 5 years and do not recall having major problems. The 3rd row is fine for occasional younger folk. You you are planning to ferry people in the 3rd row all the time, getting in and out is not a snap. The only wish I have is that they would continue making Rondos, for I do not think there is another car like this on the market.

Good little car I rented. Only problem is wind noise, and struggles in mountainous areas.

Great Car/Crossover

I wanted a bigger car than what I had, but not to big, as I need to lift my Kayaks on the roof, I tried a few different cars, and found the Rondo to be just what I wanted, it looks good and its fun to drive, all the dials and such are easy to reach/use. Its just a cute great car....

I was impressed when I drove the car. Ride was excellent, quite and stable. Seats are comfortable. Visibility is outstanding. Incredibly roomy even for all my 6'4" and taller friends. I elected for the EX with premium package. The leather is good quality. The navigation system is sharp and the Infinity sound system is awesome. It doesn't feel like an inexpensive car at all. I have the third row for the kids, but adults 6' and shorter can fit comfortably with no compromises. The 175hp 4cyl engine is surprisingly peppy even full of adults and cargo. Fuel economy so far has been 24city/30hwy. This car is perfect in my opinion. It has everything I need and nothing I don't for a great price
