Tall large people can sit in the second row with more comfort as they can in the front seats of our Honda Civic or Sebring convertible. Third row is not bad for short trips for adults and children would be good for longer trips. see full Kia Rondo review |

2007 | 4dr Wagon 162-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
It is difficult to find a comfortable driving position in the manual seat because the seat tilts forward as it lifts up. Lumbar support is poor an the steering wheel is too far away. see full Kia Rondo review |

2009 | 4dr Wagon 175-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
I have a 175 hp 4cly. and has plenty of power for passing and merging on freeways. Like manual shift on automatic for going down steep hills and shifting into second gear like a stick shift! see full Kia Rondo review |

2007 | 4dr Wagon 162-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Plenty of power for a 4cyl.. Rarely needs to downshift, even with a full load. Shifts smoothly and engine is fairly quiet. see full Kia Rondo review |
