2008 Kia Rondo Professional Reviews:
edmunds has reviewed the 2008 Kia Rondo and given out” Pros: Lots of features for a low price, a choice of inline-4 or V6 power, high-quality interior design, good outward visibility, optional seven-passenger seating, long warranty coverage. Cons: Lack of pizzazz, questionable resale value.”
TheCarConnection has reviewed the 2008 Kia Rondo and given out” On the road, the Rondo is perfectly acceptable transport, but uninvolving to say the least. The ride, handling, steering have decent poise through corners, but it’s just not the sort of vehicle you want to push hard through the bends. It’s not very quick either; the diesel takes 11 seconds to hit 60 mph, but returns more than 40 mpg.”

Pros: fun to drive, drives like a small car but has the interior feel of a minivan
Cons: has a tendency to follow the ruts in the road, the lift back is heavier to open that I thought
I have had so much fun since I bought this car last year. The kids love going anywhere in it. It maneuvers wonderfully and parking is a dream. I used to own a minivan so I still have a hard time believing I can park my mini-mini van in such tight parking and still open the doors wide. Easy on gas but you end up using more than you should because it it fun to have all the power and acceleration right there. The auto shift is great it increases the maneuverability and the pick up and gets better when it is snowing.

Pros: Excellent well thoughtout design,user friendly,great steering/brakes.cofortable ride wow space
Cons: Front appearance could be a little sexier, too conservative.
I have owned BMWs, Acuras, Audis, Buicks, Cadillacs and more but this KIA Rondo was designed by people who drive cars and require everything to be functional, all joints precision fit, every convenience both sexes need. unique hupolstery that allows one to slide in with winter coats etc. comfortabe seating, peppy and fun to drive. Truly oustanding value by any test and probably the best and most practical car I have owned including those mentioned above.
KIA should be promoting this car as the most inteligent car sold in America.

Pros: smooth highway driving, good fuel economy on the highway, air bags all the way around
Cons: Fuel Ecomomy , rough ride at times mainly city driving
I like this car or crossover what ever you call it. The best part of this car is the accelertion it is great for a V4 also I can see clearly all the way around, no blind spots also I really like the fact that it has air bags all the around the vehicle makes me feel alot better of the safety considering that my preteen will be take over this vehicle in 3 yrs or so … Overall i love my rondo enough said
