1) Add slide out extensions to sun visor and get rid of the fake vinyl coated sun visor, use cloth. Even the EX's visors are cheap vinyl. 2) Offer standard factory tinting of rear and side rear windows. 3) Can car makers design a window that doesn't drip inside the car? 4) Rear slide out cup holders pose a hazard as they don't secure the cups well. Possibility exists of spilling hot liquids from top heavy cups on unsuspecting passenger's feet. 5) This may just be my personal preference, but I would prefer a straight shift from Park to drive. The offsets are just a pain. 6) Redesign the sunroof so you don't need to buy the additional shield to stop the two toned whistle that cross winds generate. 7) No KIA optional mud flaps? 8) Add daytime running lights Don't get me wrong, I love the Rondo, but it could be better designed in a few areas. 2007 4cyl, 5 seat EX |

Replying to: ramblin (Apr 14, 2007 7:20 am) - I agree on the factory tinting - make the sunroof available on 5 person model - get rid of the ashtrays and create more storage - (daylight running lights are standard in Canada) - offer the beige exterior / interior as in the US - I agree on the visor extension (Santa Fe has that) |

Replying to: ramblin (Apr 14, 2007 7:20 am) 1.Better contrast on the stereo display - larger EQ display listings. The stereo unit is a major visual disappointment. 2.Satellite compatible stereo needed 3.Cargo net?? 4.Sunroof wind deflector 5.The remote transmitter on the Key Fob is a bit weak 6.Better dealer support making options known, i.e. Cargo Cover 7.Privacy glass even is it is optional (should be standard in the EX model) 8.Other than the above, it is a well thought out and executed vehicle. Very enjoyable so far! 2007 4 cyl, 5 seat EX with Premium package

Replying to: ramblin (Apr 14, 2007 7:20 am) I love my Rondo, but I'm 5'6" with short arms (at least, short compared to some of you 6-footers!). No matter how I configure the seat and steering wheel, my elbows don't reach the armrest while I'm driving, which makes for very tiring long drives.  Anyone have any suggestions on anything I could buy or make to alleviate this?

I forgot to mention in my previous post--my kids complain that in the back seat (the second row of our 7-seater), whoever is sitting in the middle gets blasted by the air conditioner while the two in the outboard positions sweat and swelter, as does anyone in the third row. I know there are ducts under the two front seats, but for the life of me, I can't feel anything coming out of them. Is there a special setting to make them work, or are they not for air conditioning? |
