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)

#638 of 803 Are there any vehicles similar to the Mazda5? by coolmazda5 Feb 19, 2009 (8:15 pm)
The 2009 Mazda5 is similar in size and function to the 2009 Kia Rondo. They also match up in price with Mazda trims ranging from $17,995 to $22,675 and Kia’s from $17,495 to $22,295.   Both are small minivan-like vehicles. The Mazda comes standard with room for six while the Rondo has a maximum seating capacity of seven with the optional third row. The third row costs $650 and is available on the LX and EX trim levels.   The Mazda is the only vehicle its size to use sliding doors like a traditional minivan, distinguishing it from the hatchback crowd. The Rondo’s doors are hinged like other sedans or small SUVs. Sliding doors offer easier access to the third row and are convenient for getting in and out of the vehicle in tight places; plus, you don’t have to worry about wind blowing the door out of a child’s hands.   Other small three-row vehicles include SUVs like the Dodge Journey, Toyota RAV4 and Mitsubishi Outlander.     Source: http://ask.cars.com/2009/02/vehicles-similar-to-mazda5.html

I'm in the process of buying a Mazda5 right now, after shopping it and the Kia Rondo (among others). I liked the Kia also, but the manual transmission in the 5 sold me. Also it seemed like the third row in the Kia would be almost inaccessible with car seats in the second row, and having a usable third row was a major selling point.
