Source: CarGurus

The GoodThe Kia Rondo surpasses not only its competition but itself with regard to value, and in 2009, with added power and a navigation system for the EX, the Rondo is an even better deal.The BadSmall complaints with regard to durability and 2009's small power increase to the Rondo's already woefully inadequate base engine do nothing to combat the negative image Kia has been fighting for years.The CarGurus ViewThere are simply no two ways around this one: The 2009 Kia Rondo's four-cylinder...

Other Choices:

Closest to the 2009 Kia Rondo in size—at least in the U.S. market—is the Mazda5. But unlike the Rondo, the Mazda5 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. However, the Rondo is quieter and more refined, rides better, and has a space that’s more easily reconfigured than in the Rondo. The Chevrolet HHR and Chrysler PT Cruiser are other alternatives; both offer retro styling and flexible cargo arrangements, but neither has a third-row seat. The Scion xB is quite fuel-efficient compared to these other models, but its boxy interior somehow doesn’t translate to that much interior space. Finally, the new Toyota Venza is another larger rival. It’s a tall, carlike wagon offering a standard four-cylinder engine and roomy seating for five, but the Venza’s lower, sleeker profile doesn’t yield as much cargo space inside as some of the others.
