Husbands car that is currently not for sale.
The transmission of my husbands 2009 Kia rondo needs some work, but otherwise all is good. Drives well, heats very well and cools very well. Needs some deep cleaning. Husband currently is not selling it so not sure why its wanting me to post this but whatever.

4 cylinder- 7 passenger Kia rondo.
My 2009 Kia rondo is great on gas as it is a 4-cylinder engine. Has 3rd row seating and does not make you feel like you are driving a minivan. I have had issues with the power steering, haven't found a solution, the back windows are now not working and the parts are special order and not currently available to order. Other than these issues, it has been pretty reliable and pretty comfortable. We fit 7 of us in the vehicle. When 3rd row is not in use, you can fold down and have trunk space.

2009 Kia rondo. Great car.
I really like my car. It is pretty reliable and was a decent price. It is not to bad long on the inside or outside. I am eventually going to upgrade to a bigger vehicle. My seats are clothe, my mistake of not putting seat covers to protect from my two messy children. It does have some trouble running in the rain. It will stall. I am not sure if this is a manufacturer problem or one that my car happened to run into.

BODY NOT BUILT REAL WELL BUT RUNS GREAT. GETS GOOD GAS MILEAGE.
RUNS GREAT BUT FRONT BUMPER FELL OFF FEW MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING. REAR HATCH DOESN'T WORK AND GAS RELEASE DOESN'T WORK. HAVE TO OPEN HATCH, HOLD HATCH DOOR UP AND PULL RELEASE LINE TO PUT GAS IN THE CAR. GETS DECENT GAS MILEAGE.

Unexpectedly Good For Adventures
The Kia Rondo is good on gas and incredibly roomy. It is great for people with kids, a true soccer mom car, or if you like to go camping or go on other outdoor adventures. Even though it isn't equipped with an off road package, it handles great through the odd ditch or dirt road. Also very useful when moving.

To tell all how wonderful my Kia Ronda LX actually is. When I bought it in 2009, it was a preowned, and very few miles on it. Well now i over 140 000oles on her and she is still going. She has been on several long trips with me. She was hot in June, but that has not stopped her
Thank

2009 Kia Rondo rocks big time
It has been beyond rely able. I am at 188000 miles. Just replaced the original starter, other than that normal repair. Brakes, battery, did have to replace a cylinder. Other than that very reliable. I was rear ended by a truck doing 55+ and no damage to. The frame just the back hatch. Was repaired and good to go. Good quality vehicles

Third row seating has room enough for a full size adult.
It is a reliable car. It is good on gas and has many safety features like curtain side airbags. I like that in a car. Kia’s have long and reliable warranty. I have only had to do regular maintenance on the car. This car has third row seating and that is great because it has room for the whole family.

Its versatile. Good on gas. Dependable.
Some parts are hard to find or not available because of the year/model. Very reliable vehicle but when problems occur it sometimes creates a domino effect leading to other parts needing fixing/replacing. The smaller the issue the bigger the problem. The bigger the issue the less complications.

Large, large , large cargo area!
This is a very reliable vehicle. Good gas mileage. 3rd row seats. Also very large cargo area when seats are down. It holds way more than what it would appear to.

It has a third row of seats.
I love my rondo! It has all the room of a van because it has a third row of seats.It has no blind spots and is a very comfortable ride.

They only made the car for 3 years so parts can be pricey
The only huge problem I have had with this car is the exhaust. It has been very reliable and the air conditioning is my favorite part. It works great and fast! It's great for trips as the trunk is decent size and all three of my kids fit in it wonderfully.

Average gas mileage. Back seats fold down to allow for more storage.
Very reliable, just a very basic model. It is average gas mileage. No frills, meets my needs to transport dogs. Would have been nice if the model came with a sunroof, guess will need to upgrade for that. If looking for a small SUV for errands this may be the car for you.

Practical car for families
Reliable, practical car. Design flaw if drive through puddles with worn tires, water shorts something stalling the vehicle.

It has the option of a third row seat that folds down and still has cargo room.
Great size, like the folding 3rd row seat. It's a great car to fit in all the camping gear. It gets pretty good gas mileage. Very few repairs. Dislike car has no power in small hills.

The most important feature of Kia's rondo is spacious inside.
Kia rondo is very spacious, which is great for family with kids. However, ex model with 4 cylinders is not good enough to accelerate speed on a hill. Overall, it is a good family car in the urban areas.

I enjoy driving it. It has great power and pick up. Love the leather interior. The front is very roomy and open.
Feels very stylish, plenty of legroom. Love the extra third row seat.

Great wagon, with the feel of more horsepower than is actually under the roof.
This vehicle is a great little car. It has a lot of pep for a 4 cylinder. I like how the dashboard s laid out. Everything is within reach and easy to use. The car handles well and is not loud. I like the cargo area storage spaces. I can hide a lot of stuff that I have to carry around. For example, I can show my son's baseball gear in the stowaway bins and still have plenty of room for a car load of groceries. The backseat will sit two adults comfortably, or three youth/teens. The one thing I do not like about it is the tilt of the headrest. I feel like it pushes my head forward too much. I have to recline the seat more than I usually would to accommodate the over tilted headrest.

Everything I love this car.
There's not one problem we have with the car. We love it.. It's great mileage n love the fact it get roomie if a family ends up homeless.. This is the top car I would suggest to other families.. I love this car and am happy with what I got..Other then that I have no problems.

Has 7 seats and also gets about 25 mpg.
I like the mileage I get. I like the dependability of the vehicle. I like the roominess inside. I was a little disappointed in the mileage that I get and the rough ride and noisiness of the ride.

It came with a great warranty and didn't need it. It's been very reliable.
My car is perfect for me. Small enough to drive like a car but big and roomy enough to tote stuff and carry my dogs around. It has had very minimal problems and runs great it's been really reliable. Only complaint is the lock issue. One of my back doors locked and won't unlock and I won't pay to fix it right now..lol. But I like the car a lot.

Excellent car overall.
I would recommend this vehicle. I bought my 2009 Kia Rondo in December of 2017 it had almost 60,000 miles on it. We took it in and had everything checked belts changed tune up all the grease places that needed to be packed so on and so forth. It is now at the end of 2019 I currently have a 81,000 miles on it and it still runs like a top. I've had very little problems. I believe if you change the oil have the engine checked replace the belts when needed it will last a very long time. I would like for it to get better gas mileage in town but I am very impressed with the gas mileage on the highway. We had a bumper hitch put on it and carried a small enclosed trailer with approximately 5 to 700 lb of belongings and we were still getting about 25 miles to the gallon on the highway. It pulled the trailer beautifully uphill and downhill I was very impressed. We took it all the way from Oregon to the northeast corner of Oklahoma without any encounters with the cars capability. It is spacious with the capacity to hold a load of rocks and or a load of wood although I don't recommend it. It can damage the interior if you're not extremely careful I have several scratches that could have been avoided but still lots of room. It does have a little slug in it going uphill once you get going it goes up great. Get a good running start before going uphill and you have no problem. I love my little Kia Rondo it's been a terrific car! Oh and the turning radius is impressive.

Terrible gas mileage for a small car so I wouldn't recommend it
I have never had a problem with my Kia. It gets terrible gas mileage and even though it has been problem free I can't wait to get something different.

It's a comfortable vehicle with plenty of room for passengers and cargo.
I like the size of my car and how it sits up higher than smaller vehicles. There is plenty of room for my family and a third row of seats that I can fold out to carry an additional couple of people. I do now like the issues with power steering I've had off & on with the vehicle.

The Kia is reliable, small, and. The car is sensitive.
It is reliable. Easy on gas. Breaks are a little touchy. Wheel is sensitive. It's small and convenient. While driving the only problem I witnessed is when you pump gas or fill the tank the car acts funny when you turn it on. Like the car is being choked.

Plenty of Storage Space in Back (and in Front)
This car has storage cubbies underneath the floor of the back hatch, which I really like for things I keep in my car but don't need accessible 24/7. The back row of seating also folds flat for more backspace. It can fit a full-size electric keyboard (piano), several suitcases, and two 18-gallon plastic tubs. It also has a small amount of storage up front between the driver and passenger seat, which also has spots to plug in USB, AUX, and charging cords.

Its small but fast and reliable.
My Kia rondo is a perfect small SUV. It drives perfect, great horse power. It does great on gas. It has 3 rows of seats. So there's plenty of space for 9 people. It's been very reliable for the past 6 months it's the perfect small SUV u can ever buy. Also has a nice stereo system for road trips.

Swiss Army knife of vehicles
With seating for seven, the optional roof rack rails and added tow hitch my 4 cylinder Rondo does it all while still getting 29-30 mpg on the highway at 99,000 trouble free miles.

Very spacious for a small SUV. Lots of room in the back also.
The interior is cheap you touch anything and it breaks. I love the size it is not too small and it not too big it just right. It not the expensive to maintain either.

2009 Kia rondo is a great car to drive.
It has a long warranty a lot longer than any manufacture. It also gives you free road side assistance lasting to 60000 miles. They also give you free 2 gallons of gas twice a year. Very roomy car. You can transport a lot more than you think. Very comfortable for driving even for long trips.

The amount of room is always surprising.
I find it roomy without being too big. Tons of trunk space for everything. Easy to handle, very smooth to drive in all conditions. Kinda in love with the headlights, I live in the country and these are very clear. Gas mileage could be better for city it's about 26 or so, freeway is around 30.

Kia rondo, great first car!
Ball joints, and new tires in the last 6 months. Very comfortable. Withstands heavy highway mileage. Seats however, are cloth, and they are tan of course, so they discolor easily. All automatic windows and foldable back seat. The car is overall amazing.

It is well made, and I have had no problems with it with routine maintenance.
It is comfortable, feels solid when driving and I feel safe with it. There is more than enough room for my groceries, baby seat and stroller, and 4 passengers.

My Kia rondo is spacious and allows seating for up to 7 people. Fairly good on gas and has been very reliable with very little problems. Cheap to upkeep.
I like my car. It get me from point a to point b, but It looks like a miniature mini van and i don't have kids. I like the space I have for getting groceries and such, but I don't like the fact that no lights turn on when the trunk is open and also that the windows always sound like they are cracked open.

It is paid off! Also, it is a safe, reliable vehicle.
My vehicle is considered a wagon. It has a hatchback, which I love. I wish it had AWD since I live in a snowy area. My vehicle basically gets me from point A to point B. It is pretty basic but it works for me.

Back seats should recline more for more comfort on long rides.
It's was a really good car when I first got it but wear and tear on the car without getting consistent routine check ups can cause issues. Although for the most part it's reliable and useful with enough trunk space. I have a large family so being able to utilize the extra seats in the back is very convenient.

2009 Kia rondo information.
09 Kia rondo. Only problems I have encountered have been the replacement of my camshaft position sensor which seem to affect gas mileage, heavy shifting, and a few other minor issues. If left unreplaced, the vehicle has been known to die randomly. Reliability it has been decent, good gas mileage, sporty crossover with hatchback. No problems with leaks or anything although it has a hard time getting up hills and the headlights visibility is not the best.
