Overall:

Update since my first review in 2015. Ive now had my Rondo for 6 years. Its still going strong with over 200,000 miles. It has never refused to start up and go. Never broke down on a trip or anywhere. Still gets good gas milage, I have replaced the Purge valve, AC bearing, shocks, struts and breaks, two sets of tires. one set of plugs, regular oil changes, and two front end alignments. Thats basically it. Since the car is now 13 years old , I thought about a new one, but I really dont want to give this one up.

Ride And Runs Great. — Car runs and drives great, very quite, no rattles or anything. Gets around 22 mpg now, I have installed Royal Purple oil in the engine and has made a difference in performance as well as mpg. I do not drive a lot, but my car has to be in top condition, I am disabled and unable to walk long distances.

Primary Use: Family transportation

Pros: No body damage, no interior damage,  4 new tires and 4 wheel alignment April 2011.

Cons: This vehicle is for a family.  I do not think it is for a single guy.

Love It! — Tons of room. drives great, headroom, stuff room. Pretty good gas mileage, 4cyl has no problem keeping up with traffic. and more. car is light and you can feel it when it is really windy. tall wagon shape and light weight help in all areas except high winds/ cros winds.

Primary Use: Commuting to work

Pros: practical

Cons: tall light wagon affected by wind.

The Rondo — The car gets fair miles for the amount you have to pay and its sleek small but spacey they needed to replace the fuel pump byt that was free and its sorrta fun to drive i used to rumble when you backed up but for its price i have saved some money

Pros: good gasmileage and affordable

Cons: might need maintenance in the futur

Two Week Rental Car — I think the arm rests need to be closer to the driver. It was kinda hard for me to get comfortable. The car would sometimes squeak if I went over a bump (with just 18,000 miles on the odometer). And I was expecting much better gas mileage from this crossover-like car. And I hated the exterior styling. But there were some positives. I did like the Auto stick feature. The engine was pretty peepy (the only reason this car gets 3 stars instead of 2) & did have a good roar for a V6. There were a lot of compartments in the spacious trunk. And the 2nd row was very roomy. The interior styling wasn't bad & the sound system was pretty good. It wasn't horrible, but I wouldn't buy one either. This is clearly a girl car. Hell, there's even a hook for a purse on the passenger side.

Pros: Engine Performance, Dashboard Layout, Roomy 2nd Row, Big Trunk w/ plenty of compartments, Front Visability, Autostick, Sound System

Cons: Exterior Styling, Sloopy Transmission Shift Points, Gas Mileage could be better, Car squeaked with just 18k on it.
