my wife test drove one and loved it..agsainst my better judgement we went ahead and got it..
so far it has been awesome..i have a camry with sports options and while the camry beats it power and performance wise..the rondo is a pleasure to drive on long trips and is quite responsive..and yes you can fit 7 people in it and it still drives ok..the nearest jap vehicle to match that is nearly double the price.
I have had fords and holdens and a skyline over the hyears and the two aussie cars have been overpriced crap! we also had a kia sportage for 5 years and did 220000 km the only problems we ever encountered was te fan clutch packed it in and i could not get an aftermarket model so i had to pay top dollar..otherwise very reliable.
I think the purists need to pull their collective heads in on this one!

Ihave just bought a Kia Rondo three weeks ago and I just love it! I have five kids to transport around and it does the job just fine. I think that it is a lovely looking family car that is selling a a very affordable price. It isn’t a large truckster thing like the Carnival and the Tarago. It parks easy in tight parking bays and drives like a dream. It ticks all my boxes. So all you yuppie snobs out there, get a life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a bunch of car snobs – all cars are ugly & a waste of money as far as I am concerned. I am by no means a fan of any type of car.

But I say good on Kia for being able to make an affordable family car. I have only heard good things of Kia mechanically, in that they are reliable with low maintenance & with low costing spare parts & that says a lot.

Styling wise it was headed in a nice and safe direction until they got to the rear.

Upswept rear quarterpanel & thick pillar design looks like the makings of a massive blind spot.
