>...I was pleased by the deal
[Gill] Yah, that looks good on the surface.
 
>...as I did not want to travel far to get the car and most dealers I checked really did not have much for Rondo selection.
[Gill] This is a new introduction into the US market for 2007 although it has been in Europe and Asia for about two years now. According to the last sales figures I saw there were a little over 5,000 in the US.
 
>...The deal was pain-free as I emailed the sales person and they went over the car with me from top to bottom.
It is refreshing to know that there are some dealers with ethics out there.

USA - 4697
--------------
Canada - 1746, it outsold the Chev HHR in February and April and very close in March (only 27 units behind)- doing very well, considering we are roughly 11-12% of the US population.

Voluntary Service Campaign by crewzin

Got a letter in the mail today stating that:
 
KIA Motors America, Inc. is conducting a voluntary service campaign on certain 2007 Rondos to prevent moisture from entering the front wheel speed sensors.
 
Kia has become aware that some 2007 model year Rondos have experienced an illumination of the ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) warning lamp as a result of moisture entering the housing for the front wheel speed sensors.
 
Your Kia dealer will inspect and either clean or replace the front wheel speed sensor and seal the housing to prevent any further intrusion of moisture at no cost to you.
 
Just passing it on FYI.

Speaking of problems, am I the only one whose windshield wipers aren't able to actually clean the windshield properly?
 
I get white spots from bugs & stuff that won't come off (even if I turn on the wipers right away), and if I spray some washer fluid then the spots turn into white streaks. I've tried cleaning the wipers, washing my windshield, etc. but no luck, the spots still come back pretty quickly.
 
I've never had a problem like this with my other car, so I don't think its the climate or something like that.

I'm so excited! I bought my Rondo today, a Beige EX V6 with 3rd row for $18,424.00 after the $750 rebate. I am really pleased with that price, and the car, and the dealer even went out of his way to get the color I wanted.
 
So here is a great reccomendation for Chris at Cherner Kia in Virginia.
 
I pick it up tomorrow!

Rondo specs by palpak

The Kia Ronda is on my car list for our next car. I really liked driving the Sedona (rental) and was surprised that it its not so minivanish. Anyway, Does anybody know which Kia model does the Rondo share the same engine, chassis and transmission? What I want to find out actually if there are some long running models using a similar or same platform who have might have engine or transmission problem before.
Thanks in advance!

If I'm not mistaken it's the Optima.
