I loved mine and I wish they had not stopped making it.

Its overall a great car to have.
I like that it is an easy vehicle to drive. I like that that it is cheap on gas. I dislike the color of the car. I dislike that the back has no air.

Speedy, economical vehicle perfect for the whole family.
Overall, I love my vehicle and have had no issues with it so far. It is very speedy, gets great gas mileage and can potentially seat 7. Due to the compact size of the vehicle, however, it will not necessarily seat 7 adults comfortably. It works perfectly for me, my husband, our children and dog, however. All of the seats fold down easily, and completely flat, so it is great for bulk shopping trips, camping, moving, etc. It was also affordable, so it is everything I need for a great price. And even though the company does not make the vehicle anymore, the parts are Hyundai parts, so easy to order/replace if/when needed.

The car is very reliable and gets great gas mileage for Its size.
This car is a really great car if you are wanting a small SUV. The third row folds up and down very easily. Only complaint is when the third row is up the truck basically disappears. But overall this is a great car.

Great for those with disabilities as it is easy for them to get in and out of the vehicle due to it being lower to the ground than most minivans.
For a van it is small enough that it is easy to navigate. But large enough to fit a lot of stuff into it, I also find it very fuel efficient. The only gripe is that I would like it to be a little bit longer, as there are times when going away if there are more than 2 people going It's a tight squeeze to fit all the stuff in.

Spacious and reliable car, but lackluster appearance
The suspension had some issues. The interior is not high quality and feels/looks cheap. The car size is great. It feels very spacious inside. The trunk area is great for a hatchback and holds a lot of stuff.

Comfortable and sleek rondo.
The car is small enough to sneak into small spaces but big enough to pack it full of family and camping gear and still have room to move. Wish there was a newer version with Bluetooth. Very comfortable drive. Great for long distances, excellent gas mileage.

Mileage is very good.Can't say any other vehicle would get better mileage.
Excellent car for the price. Comfortable to drive and good running and also good fuel economy.

Make the parts easier to find and more affordable.
Absolutely hate Kias. Has enough space for me and my family, but seems like everyday there's something wrong with the car. The parts are also very hard to come up on. Iv had to order online for parts. Also pay extra for the parts because they were so hard to find.

An affordable, dependable vehicle.
This is a good car for the money the pricing is affordable compared to other hatchback brands on the market today. Compact enough for a hatchback, it has enough room for those grocery days or long trips. It handles well, has nice comfy seats and is overall a well performing car. I have personally never had a problem with mine. Plus Kia has a great 10 year /100,000 mile warranty on all their cars. You cannot go wrong.

Not bad to drive but a chore to upkeep.
Alternator issues. Good in the snow. Windows easily dislodge from housing. Good on gas. Prone to issues regarding emissions. Needs smoke tests routinely. Serpentine belt is not the best. Transmission issues are probably to be expected. Kias are not the best cars on the market and the rondo is quite uncommon.

It's a good car when it is taken care of.
The car runs very smoothly when it's in good shape. The previous owner did not take the best of care of it so my boyfriend and I have been fixing it. Since we have gotten it, there's been two flat tires, we've fixed the alignment and changes the oil. We still have more things to do to it however. We need to replace the ball joints, replace all the tires, replace the belt, and replace the windshield wiper blades.

It has a lot of space and the speakers are great for listening to music.
My car is roomy, it can fit a lot of people in it. It has great speakers when listening to music. There are times when it starts jittering and jutting and that is annoying.

Answer: While the Kia Rondo doesn't have an absurdly large number of complaints, the "worst" years are 2009, 2008, and 2007, in that order. Within those model years, drivers typically complain about engine, power...
