Becky A

Good value car for a family.

It is a crossover so lots of room. Good gas mileage. Very few problems with it considering it has 108, 000+miles. Each side of the rear seats fold forward so you can transport lots of things when only 2-3 people are in the car. The back trunk area has 3 compartments below the floor to stow things away in.

Ronald H

That it is a very dependable vehicle and is good on gas and hardly ever had any problems with it.

Like that it has plenty of room for everything from fishing to hauling whatever i want also is good on gas hardly ever had any problems been a very good vehicle.

Donna C

Love the space. Love the warranty. Love the ride love the heated seats love the price. Love the gas mileage.

Rebecca A

Kia rondo- a good value car.

Currently have 107,500 mi with no majors issues. It is a comfortable vehicle-a crossover. Lots of room, rear seats fold down, holds 5 passengers. Recently - with approximately 104, 000 miles-had to replace the right front axle, but that have been my fault due to driving with a warped rotor for over a year.

Lourdes L

I've had my car for 11+ years and I've never had any major problems with it outside of maintenance routine work.

Love my Rondo and I have no intentions of trading it in any time soon! Drives well and rides well.

Andri A

It is very reliable despite being a gas guzzler.

My ties go flat and my window do not let down in the back I like the color it is and I like it because my air do work.

Lori K

Great small car but big on gas mileage.

Older mileage car but handles great. We've only had since April so we haven't seen how it does in snow. Has more room on inside than it looks. Great gas mileage. We don't like the stereo system but it's an aftermarket one. Windows are large like a minivan which are great for visibility. Has some storage areas in back.

Negative Owner Reviews

Joanna F

It has 7 seats. Not a lot of room if all seats are occupied.

U-turns are not easy. Not so great on gas. Paint is already fading in some areas.

Judi B

This car is comfortable and roomy for its size or class.

It is ok. Nothing fancy. It is a basic car with basic amenities. It gets me where I need to go. It is comfortable and roomy for its size. Wish it had better gas mileage.

Alyssa R

2007 Kia rondo car review.

Windshield is huge. So are windows. Very safe car with lots of airbags. Very comfortable car. No AUX cord. Radio works but volume goes up and done on its own. Seven seater- two in front three in middle two in back. Optional features. Very useful with kids and carpooling.

Mary Alice W

It has been well maintained. In fact receipts of service are in the glove box.

This vehicle has been a reliable one. I bought it from my sister before she passed. It is approaching 100, 000 miles but has been maintained well as far as oil changes and other requirements. The radio can be temperamental at times. Both rear windows malfunctioned over time and so do not go up & down anymore. I have used heavy tarp to protect it from the pets I have. I have hauled a lot of loads in the back and can even make more room by putting the back seats down. It is black in color with adjustable seats in length and back support. The headrests are also adjustable. Plus the driver's seat belt has an extender on it.

Alison M

Great car for the price, with only a few problems.

The rear doors are big and heavy. It doesn't have much clearance. The engine is very clean. I don't ever have engine troubles. The rear doors stopped opening. With the third row seats up it leaves no room for storage. It has great visibility. It's roomy without being too big.

Raine A

It is gotten me through a lot in life.

Very worn down and needs lots of work done. I have two headlights out. The car does not come with an aux cord. I love the safety features and all the airbags. Very safe car!.

Carol W

The most important thing about my car is it really gets up and goes. You don't need to put much pressure in the gas.

What I like about my car is it runs great nice to drive. What I dislike about my car is it is like driving a bubble. I think I would like it a little better if the windows were tinted some.

Demarcus P

The very smooth driving, very easy to park anywhere and great radio.

The car drives really well I like driving it but you must watch your speed because it is a little fast. A few problems would be it burns gas pretty fast so make sure to fill it all the way up when getting gas also just burning gas quickly it's a car you might not want drive across country in. Another problem is that sometimes the air or heat doesn't work. Good things are the radio and CD player plays well despite all this I like driving this vehicle.

Camilla S on March 12, 2021

Could not have chosen a better vehicle. Love the fold down back seats, gives the back area lots of room for carrying large items. I even had a new washer in the back.

Have had no problems, ever! Perfect size for me, back seats fold down for more room. Very easy to drive, great on gas mileage. Heated seats, has a control to defrost the outside mirrors, comfortable seating for 4 to 5 people.

Good value car for a family.

Pros from Owners

Maria S.

Pros: Comfortable to get in and out off. Easy to see all areas with no know blind spots. Comfortable ride. Lots of legroom in back seats as well as in front with passengers. Nice area for storage under the cargo in rear of car. Good gas mileage. All round my favorite car I have owned. Cons: the Springs do not last.

Brenda R.

I love this car, it is very sturdy and a smooth drive. It is dependable and has a huge interior that is super roomy and has tons leg room. I like that it has a air vent for the people in the back. Overall a great car.

Cons from Owners

Maria S.

Springs go to fast, have had to replace them twice and as well as when broke popped tire also. The headlights need to be brighter. Would be nice to have a better drink holder in back seat area, for the adjustable drink holders do not hold drinks.

Brenda R.

I do not have many complaints about the car, but one of the big ones is the look of the actual car. It is tall but it is a small SUV. The other issue I do not like is the trunk back storage area, it is smaller than expected.

Is The 2007 Kia Rondo A Good Value?

Depends on where you get it from, I got mine from a small dealership and only paid 1700 but worth the money.

15,000 - Yes because you have the additional 3rd row. And when the 3rd row is not in use there is plenty of room for groceries or luggage.
