#59 of 262 Just bought one. EX V6 3rd row seats by crewzin Feb 25, 2007 (6:53 pm)
Just bought the Rondo for my wife. We didn't even know it exsisted and went to look at the Sportage. We had an old style Sportage and I liked the new style. Also looked an Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV-4 and Saturn VUE. Wife has MS and certain needs as in ease of entry/exit. None of the SUV's were low enough. Saw the Rondo and she immediately liked it. Couldn't believe all the features (tire monitoring, CD with built-in 6 CD changer, traction control, anti-lock, 17 inch spoke wheels, V6, 3rd row seating elect moonroof, etc.) all for 22K on the road. Traded an 06 Suzuki Forenza that blue book had 7K tops...yes 50% depreciation in a little over a year. After negotiation I received 8K for the Suzuki, $750 rebate and 4.9% for 4 years.   Looking it over when I got home it has really good fit and finish. Got the cloth seats as leather for a car that sits outside gets extremely hot in Florida(my cars are in the garage). Will definitely have all the glass tinted first thing. Ride home was smooth and the V6 is responsive. Loads of room inside and a tremendous amount of space and holding areas throughout the whole car. One thing I miss is the short beep of the horn while locking/unlocking the doors. I know the lights flash but in the bright sunlight, you can't always see them.   Lastly insurance. Hartford (AARP) doesn't have a listing for the Hondo so the operator just tried to match it up with something else. She said it was only $15. more a year over the Suzuki so I'm pleased. looks like you can add a photo to this posting so here it is.   Replies to this message: arumage (Feb 26, 2007 5:43 am) crewzin (Feb 26, 2007 6:13 am) dakota29803 (Feb 26, 2007 5:51 am) mrswiss (Feb 26, 2007 4:53 pm)

congratulations on your new Rondo! I am on my 2nd Kia in a row new and the '01 Sportage 4x4 has 126,653 miles on it and is running like a champ.   I love the Kia brand and the new Rondo is just one more feather in their caps.

Replying to: crewzin (Feb 25, 2007 6:53 pm) Your picture looks very warm. The Rondo looks good too. I think it's 36 degrees here now. Replies to this message: crewzin (Feb 26, 2007 6:13 am)

Replying to: crewzin (Feb 25, 2007 6:53 pm) Push the lock button twice when you lock the Rondo and the horn will beep. It is a very anemic beep.

Replying to: arumage (Feb 26, 2007 5:43 am) Middle 70's here. Picture was taken about 30 minutes after we bought the Rondo at around 4pm. Backed it into the driveway and got the camera. I'll be making an appointment at the tint shop as soon as I can to keep the heat out of the interior.   Dakota: Thanks. works like a charm, at least while locking it.

Replying to: crewzin (Feb 25, 2007 6:53 pm) Hi Crewzin: Congratulations on your new Rondo, Hope you like your new ride, I'm enjoying mine still getting the feel of all the features with only 200 miles & first tank of gas! Your Rondo looks real classy, what color is it, appears to be Almond Beige? Mines in Fine Silver.
#66 of 262 Hello by crewzin Feb 26, 2007 (5:12 pm)
Hello mrswiss,   Still on full tank here. Only 65 miles on the odometer. Yes it is Almond Beige. First time out in the dark just now. Everythings lit up nicely on the dash. Still getting used to all the features too. Replies to this message: skiingyac (Feb 28, 2007 7:21 am)

Replying to: crewzin (Feb 26, 2007 5:12 pm) Has anyone found any (pet) seat covers for the rondo's 3rd row seat? It is 40" wide and I can't find any covers smaller than 50" wide.

Not sure where you have tried, but here's two places that I find/buy things from that I don't see at the auto stores. Hope it helps.   http://www.autoanything.com   http://www.autosportcatalog.com Replies to this message: skiingyac (Mar 02, 2007 1:41 pm)
