I have a 2008 Rondo LX, and agree that the V6 does not get GREAT gas mileage, but I hear the ’09 Rondo 4cyl is more powerful. And yes, the fold-flat combined with large/wide door, is great
for bringing large items(two mountain bikes, laid down..easy 2 do). Just wish a tad bit better gas mileage…but glad 2 have it.

I wouldn’t say extremely bad, but considering this is basically just a tall Kia Optima with the same engines, it is dissapointing that fuel economy is significantly lower. It’s a much better choice than a comparable size 4×2 SUV like Escape, RAV4, etc. Better handling, better fuel economy, lower lift-over height, and better ride.

I have 2009 Rondo EX-VS model and I agree with “affer’s comments above!
Well done “KIA” (speaking about the Rondo Model) you have come along way
In such short years. Also my dealer ship near my home also gave me very good service. Keep in mind if you upgrade to the EX-VS (LUXURY MODEL) if you need the blue tooth/wireless headphone will not have it! Replaced by “Satellite Radio”
That was my only disappointment but everything else I luv it! 10++++++++

I’ve been driving one for over two years. Can’t say enough good things about it. Perfect family car.

This is a very practical car without going to full blown gas guzzling midsize SUVs …

I hate the commercials for this car.
