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. Replies to this message: bgw (Oct 19, 2008 3:57 am)

Replying to: nissan_rocks (Oct 18, 2008 1:17 pm) 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.

little too blah for me... I'd rather take the Mazda5 over this one.
