2008 Kia Rondo Review
| "...a vehicle with a good amount of functionality and flexibility for its size and price. The four-door Rondo can carry up to seven passengers. It's nimble and filled with clever storage space." (Source: Edmunds.com) |
|
|
| "...there's a lot to like about the Rondo, including its relatively low price. The front seats are supportive and comfortable, with enough manual driver-seat adjustments to accommodate almost anyone." (Source: JSOnline.com) |
|
|
| "In the cockpit, the Rondo - based on the Optima sedan - is a coolly efficient and contemporary-appliance design, with a prominent central console and a sort of free-floating gearshift transom. The instruments, back lighting, switchgear and materials all feel well above the Rondo's pay grade." (Source: Los Angeles Times) |
|
|
| "Unlike its Mazda competitor, the Rondo's friendly face has few edges. From bumper to bumper, it's a portly little car ? the automotive equivalent of a Teletubby." (Source: Cars.com) |
|
|
| "In many everyday situations, such as parking and negotiating traffic, the Rondo can fool you into thinking you're actually in a small car, which is the point." (Source: Edmunds.com) |
|
|
| "Secure, well-constructed, nimble and versatile as a blue blazer, the Rondo does all that and leaves money left over for piano lessons." (Source: Los Angeles Times) |
