Other Choices:

The Mazda5, which is the closest match to the Rondo in the U.S. market, has sliding doors, which many may prefer; it's also peppier and more fun to drive--with a standard manual transmission--and looks the part, with sportier, more appealing styling. But the Mazda5 is noisier, doesn't ride as smoothly as the Rondo, and lacks the surprisingly vast interior space. The Chevrolet HHR and Chrysler PT Cruiser are other alternatives; both offer hip (or not-so-hip) retro styling and flexible cargo arrangements, but neither has a third-row seat. Neither does the new Scion xB, which is also quite fuel-efficient, but beneath its boxy body, it doesn't feel exceptionally roomy.

    Mr.

    I bought a 2007 rondo last april and I have put 35000 miles on it already and I find the vehicle is superb with its v6. I had a sedona before and it is a big change to the smaller rondo but it maneuvers much better.

    headrest

    I rented a rondo recently. The headrest on it forced me to bend my head unnaturally forward, so I pulled it out and reversed it so I could sit back in the seat. Other than that, it's very comfortable for someone with my long legs - 34" inseam. I may buy one.

    I purchased my 2008 Kia Rondo in August and I love it. I have a 2003 Kia Spectra (bought new in 03), but I wanted to move up to a v6 (amazing power!!)so I decided to go with the Rondo. It has tons of cargo space. I personally love the body type...I call it my mini-mini van, and the roomy interior is very nice. The Rondo is great for people who want the roominess of a mini van but do not have a large family to transport. I chose the style with no third seat in back, so I have a great place to keep my two dogs.. out of my way. They love it! The only thing I do not like is the color, which is black cherry. Kind of looks like a hearst. But overall I am very happy with my Rondo. I would definitely reccomend buying a Rondo.
