I love the cargo and passenger space. The 4 cylinder engine is great off the line. So far the hwy/city mileage is about 22mpg. I think it will get better as there are less than 700 miles on the Rondo just yet. I'm not tall but I seem to bump my head on just about every car I've every owned getting in and out. Not the Rondo.

Limo-like room in the rear seat and an amazing amount of space in the hatch area. Large windows all around = excellent outward visibility. High seating position makes it easy to get in/out (no step up or down, just straight in). With the 5 speed auto and V6, the car is quick and handles well. Of course, the V6 also likes gas.

Decent Mileage. Comfortable. Nice sound system. Very nice ride. Some say it looks like a van. It has plenty of room for people or just hauling stuff. All in all, I'll get another Rondo if available in about five years or so. It's our third new KIA and we love them all. It also has plenty of power for a four cylinder engine. A lot of plastic in the interior, but don't all new cars have a lot of plastic for less weight? Very solid feel when driving. So far no noises.

Styling, Car is excellent handling. The Rondo has stability control. antilock brakes and loads of safety features. It has a heavy duty suspension and can haul a lot of cargo. One can call it a Sorento with small tires. Outstanding vehicle.

This has probably been my best car ever. Every time I get behind the wheel I scratch my head in wonderment. How could I get so many options at such a small price. I mean really, this car has so much stuff. Very reliable, comfortable, quick enough, smooth, quiet, good on gas, roomy. Wow!
