Pros: What do you like about 2009 Kia Rondo?
The car that thinks it's a minivan... As a large man, I am impressed with how roomy it is inside- headroom inside is so refreshing too- especially in the backseat, but even as a driver, it's incredible!
My 4 cylinder is about as quick and punchy as I would expect it to be, but what is so amazing is how QUIET the engine is, at all speeds, and almost silent at idle.
A very well crafted, designed car that continues to make me so thankful I own one.
Love the 'pockets' and extra storage space in the dashboard, doors and even the armrest with two hidden compartments, one sporting an MP3/ iPod connection with added 12v power port- incredible touches.
Cons: How would you improve 2009 Kia Rondo?
Very upset they stopped making Rondos! Please bring them back!
2009 Kia Rondo Review:
My Rondo continues to blow me away with how much it offers for the price- just a perfect car for most people! Very family friendly and lots of seating options including reclining BACK seats!

Pros: What do you like about 2009 Kia Rondo?
Interior space is great, on long trips we find driving comfort and good seating, great stability on the road and good value for the $.
Cons: How would you improve 2009 Kia Rondo?
Mileage not up to specs, an extra gear in the transmission and a larger gas tank would help.
Having a problem with my A/C (in the middle of summer) and need to wait up to a month for a replacement under warranty.
Why is the supply chain so inadequate? Can't blame the dealer for this.

Overall a great car, but would need to do better on mileage before I bought another one.

2009 Kia Rondo Review:
Overall, a great value in regard to price and utility. The Rondo has shown itself to be a good people and cargo hauler. We have found it to be our perfect all round vehicle.

2009 Kia Rondo Review:
We are finding there are a large number of Kia Rondo's 2009 on the market for resale. All seem to be rentals with low mileage. The standard return kilom. is 60kilom/. not the amount I see topping off at just over 33kil's and some as low as 17kils in Missadsauga Ont. What is the problem here? I know it is something and I want to find out or I will not buy.
