Replying to: irismg (Jan 11, 2009 2:07 pm) Enjoy my Rondo very much a real pleasure to drive with now over 24,000km and 15 months of ownership. No problem with the pulling issue, that seems to have been mostly with V6 models (I have the 2.4L) and '07's. It handles great in the snow with help from the ESC system. Still solid with no squeaks or rattles and no mechanical problems. The heated seats are fantastic along with heated side mirrors and wiper de-icer - ideal for our Canadian conditions.

Replying to: conwelpic (Feb 03, 2009 4:44 pm) Like Conwelpic, we are also enjoying our 07 Rondo EX V6, No issues whatsoever, and no trouble with pulling to either side. Would definitely buy it again, if I had to go back. We have almost 24,000 kms on our Rondo, bought in August 2007. We are using studded winter tires on 15 inch rims with 65 series tires - noisy but needed in our weather in Newfoundland!

Replying to: radar1 (Feb 03, 2009 4:00 pm) While I agree that the Mazda5 & Rondo are good, did you seem some of the other NADA winners...Aveo, Cobalt, HHR, etc...these vehicles have been rated as junk everywhere else. Maybe it's just me, but after glancing through the list it seems like someone at NADA really want to put American vehicles on the list.   And some of their category winners are hard to follow...eg, the top Crossover under $21K is the Vibe and Caliber...how are these crossovers and the Rondo is a wagon? And then the Calibur is the #1 SUV under $24K (so it's a CUV and SUV) and the Mazda Tribute is #2 with the RAV4 as #4. So while I like the Mazda5 and Rondo, a lot of the ratings here are crazy.

#634 of 803 Any 2009 Rondo Owners to fill out Edmunds consumer reviews? by coolmazda5 Feb 06, 2009 (7:19 pm)
------------------------------------------------------------------------->>>> Look at the right of the page (under LearnMore)   Now both cars seems to be on a "mature" model stage so the reviews would be more balanced (i.e. no recalls and bugs fixed for both). It would be interesting to see some owners' reviews Replies to this message: coolmazda5 (Mar 02, 2009 6:54 pm)
