Used Kia Rondo for Sale near Lexington, KY
Kia Rondo Overview
Debuting at the 2006 Los Angeles Auto Show was Kia's new crossover wagon, the Rondo. Featuring up to three rows of seating, the Rondo shares a platform with the mid-size Optima sedan. Available in two trims, it comes well loaded, with its stand-out feature being its emphasis on safety.
Six airbags, ABS brakes, and stability control are all standard on the Kia Rondo, as is a handy tire pressure monitor.
Its closest rival is the Mazda 5, though the Rondo is slightly shorter. And where the Mazda 5 has sliding doors, the Rondo has conventional front-hinged doors. This makes access a little harder, but the Rondo compensates by making the doors longer. Both second and third rows fold flat, and the second row also reclines. Two trims will be offered, an LX and a sportier EX that sits on larger wheels and comes standard with roof rails, steering wheel controls, MP3 capability, and cruise control. Both are available with either a 162-hp I4 or 182-hp V6. Only an automatic transmission is available.
Kia focuses on low prices, high safety, and its famously attractive warranty, and all of these are present in the Rondo crossover. Even though its full name sounds like a member of the Rebel Alliance, its shrunken minivan looks are really down to earth.

The Kia Rondo is appreciated for its spaciousness, comfort, and excellent fuel economy, making it a solid choice for families. Owners frequently highlight its ample cargo space and seating for up to seven passengers. While many find it reliable and easy to handle, concerns arise regarding its power and handling, with some drivers describing it as feeling a bit unsafe at times. Overall, it’s seen as a good value, though critiques about interior materials and certain functional quirks, like locking issues, are noted.

What people say
Rondo has a great history of reliability. I find the size, safety ratings, roominess, and agility to be great. The drivetrain is proven and I prefer the Torque Converter transmission to the newer types found on many cars. The Toyota Rav4 would be somewhat in the same league but is much pricier.
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.
I love the size of the car - I feel much safer, but it still handles like a small car. My hour long commute has become something I look forward to!
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.
