Replying to: stewpidaso (May 07, 2009 5:55 am) 09 has a much more expensive premium package ($2400 vs $1200) including moon roof, GPS, and upgraded audio. $3250 less incentives. I just want moon roof, so I went for the 08 while it was still available. 08 Rondo does not come with cross bars. It is a $200 option even for my EX V6 Premium.

Replying to: tourist1292 (May 21, 2009 6:53 pm) The ashtray in the 2nd row is removed in 09 and the storage by the 3rd row has no lids in 09. The audio systems are completely different from 08. Replies to this message: tourist1292 (Jun 03, 2009 8:06 am) larrytbm (Jun 03, 2009 11:33 am)

Replying to: tourist1292 (Jun 03, 2009 8:06 am) Yea, that is one of the great small features of the Rondo.

Replying to: ramblinmo (Apr 20, 2009 6:40 pm) I want to point out the misleading information from the first post in this thread. Not only that 09 Rondo EX has 4-cylinder option, the 3rd row seat is now standard in EX (no additional cost) too. Perhaps ramblinmo checked kia's site too early before they have the full line released. The 3rd row seat option in LX trim does increase to $650 from $500 though.

Replying to: tourist1292 (Jun 03, 2009 4:58 pm) You are correct. At the time the thread was started, I could not select a 4 cylinder EX at Kia USA build your vehicle site.   Another change is that leather seems to be standard on the EX. Now, I want the option of ditching the 17" wheels!
