You are in the Kia Rondo Forum.

What is this discussion about? Kia Rondo, Wagon

Long-Term Introduction: 2007 Kia Rondo - We have high hopes. A full year in our hands and our driveways will certainly paint a clearer picture of what the Kia Rondo has to offer. Does it have the power to surprise? Stick with us on the long-term blog for the next 12 months and 20,000 miles to find out. (more)

I think you are confused - the button in photo 11 of 18 is for the windshield "de-icer" grid...

Klossfam is right...That button on the left is the de-icer not the defogger.

From the time I first spotted a Rondo about a month before its official introduction, I knew Kia had designed a uniquely pratical and functional vehicle. I helped one of my employees purchase one about a year ago & it has lived up to expectations. Way to go Kia!

12 month/20000 is not a whole lot to go on for reliability honestly, how about a least 3 years. This test should be renamed "short term reliability". Not to many brands give headaches in their first year.

I agree that 12 months is not generally long enough, but tell that to my Civic Si that needed 13 trips to the dealer in the first 6 months, for varying problems, and several dozen more trips over the next 3 yrs I owned it.
My 07 Rondo, however, has only needed oil changes.
But yes, a test of more than 12 months would be very informative.
