Just because the toe spec is correct for front and rear does not mean vehicle is aligned. To properly align the centerline must be found.
When the vehicle is being driven straight, the offset is the distance one wheel is ahead of or behind the opposite wheel on the front.
Assuming the vehicle is perfectly assembled, and the wheels are set for straight ahead, drawing a line through the two front spindles, the line should be exactly 90 degrees to the centerline.
Sitting high makes it harder to perceive the amount of crown, but sooner or later you will find that flat piece of road.
Even if it means a bit more tire wear, any properly aligned vehicle should not react badly to wear grooves from big trucks on the road.
Fix alignment issue (handling safety issue).
Create a real ESC system, not just kill power (safety issue).
Lower entire vehicle about 6", inclusive of roof line (better ride, mileage, & safety).
Lower driver seat at least 4" (better ride, comfort).
Allow better adjustment of driver seat (comfort).
Increase steering wheel diameter at least 2"(comfort & fatigue).
Put speedometer in location it can be fully viewed, perhaps top of dash, linearly(much easier to monitor speed creap because of puny engine).
Put some padding on the hard surfaces, include steering wheel (comfort) !
Fix headrest (comfort).
Fix curve of backrest (comfort).
Current manual adjustment of seat height - not enough range (comfort).
Stop putting the dang coating on the windshield (inside) that distorts vision at night. Bet you did not know it was there? You can not clean it off with anything I've tried. Using a very powerful solvent I managed to get some of it mixed to a gooey mess. Stayed foggy until next day when sun dried it again. Glass and plastics have different refractory indexes (night vision safety).
Whatever it takes to improve wind impact of a passing tractor trailer causing sway (safety).
All I could think of in a few minutes and sure there are more.
Yes, my 91 Civic SI, which I bought new, would never ever keep a straight line, but would always pull strongly to the right. The whole steering rack was eventually replaced near the end of my warranty, which cured the problem. Then I sold the car promptly, as the final problem of many was fixed and I could sell the car with a clear conscience.
As for your points above,
- the ESC system in my 07 Rondo EX V6 does cut in too strongly and kill the power. However, I have found that lifting off the gas defeats it immediately and I can continue on as I was doing. But I do agree with you!
- If the designers lowered the vehicle 6", then it would be a station wagon. Personally, I love the current design, as is.
- Driver's seat height - again, I love the height of the seat. Coming from a 1998 Legacy wagon, which had a really low seat, I enjoy the forward vision the Rondo's seat allows. My driver's seat has 8 way power, so height adjustment is a snap.
- The steering wheel diameter is just fine, as is the thickness. Now, my 1998 Escort's steering wheel is a little too small!
- Speedometer location? I can see it fine, as can my much shorter wife. And I don't know about the 4 cyl, but my Rondo's V6 is more than up to the task of hauling 2 adults, 2 kids and a load of stuff around.
- Padding on the hard surfaces? I have 2 kids, and the hard surfaces are a blessing, let me tell you! They wipe off easily and do not (so far) seem to scratch or mar easily. Plus, I really like the surface on the steering wheel. It is momentarily slippery when first gripped on a cold day (like today, which is currently -2 celcius or about 29 f) but warms quickly and gets grippy.
- The headrest is lovely, and meets the back of my head just where I want it to (I am 5' 10").
- The backrest, indeed all the seats, are quite comfortable and I would not change a thing. Maybe you have the cloth seats and they are a different design?
- Inside coating on the windshield that distorts at night? Must only be on US Rondos, since I have not seen this problem on mine or the Rondos of people I know. My windshield cleans nicely with regular ammonia-free Windex.
- And I feel that the Rondo behaves very stably when a tractor trailer passes by - I don't notice any more sway than in any other car I've had - actually, the Rondo is more stable in cross-winds than even my 1998 Legacy AWD wagon. The Rondo just never gets tossed around.
I know these are your opinions and as such they are neither right nor wrong (just like my opinions), so I am not taking you to task on these items - I just wanted to offer another perspective, that's all.
I feel that the Rondo could be made better by offering a manual transmission (which both my wife and I prefer) though that is not likely given the target demographic, and AWD should be at least a stand-alone option (we would definitely have bought that), Along with using a better, less intrusive ESC program like you say, the Rondo then would be darn near perfect in my books.
Anyway, the Rondo V6 was one of three cars I test drove at CarMax yesterday.
Now, my impressions were that I didn't realize it was so big! I was expecting a Ford Focus-sized wagon. It's smaller than the CR-V, barely, whose mileage figures aren't that great, either.
The dashboard layout was nice. I was a LITTLE disappointed with the amber lighting - I prefer blue like Hyundai. I took Luther Vandross with me in the CD player, and he sounded VERY nice after I adjusted the stereo.
Being spoiled by my Toyota, I was pleasantly surprised to see velour on the seats. I'm a very large woman, and the seats were comfortable to me.
This car had ABS, which frightened me, but they weren't as touchy as the ones in the Nissan I drove later.
The price for a car this size and this well appointed was incredible, $14,500 for a car with less than 15K miles on it.
But doggone it, that mileage! I've never known of any V6 to get great mileage, but unless it has a peppy 2.5 liter 4 like the Nissan I'm afraid this car will eat me alive in fuel costs. But I loved the seat height, the light-colored interior (in a black car, no less), it did well over our sorry roads, and in the constant Oklahoma wind.
And, I think it's cute!
Overall it was a pleasant experience, except for smashing my finger in the door after I got out of it! Ow!
Fix alignment issue (handling safety issue).
Create a real ESC system, not just kill power (safety issue).
no problems in this area everything works great
Lower entire vehicle about 6", inclusive of roof line (better ride, mileage, & safety).
KIA already has this in the form of the Spectra 5, would kind of defeat the purpose of the Rondo
Lower driver seat at least 4" (better ride, comfort).
certainly not comfort in my case I like the higher seats and the fact you can step into the vehicle without stepping "down", if I wanted that I would buy a different vehicle
Allow better adjustment of driver seat (comfort).
would like a bit more front to rear travel than what is offered but still found with playing around with the manual adjustment we have found a comfortable setting for both myself and my wife. Now my wife only has to move the seat forward when she drives.
Increase steering wheel diameter at least 2"(comfort & fatigue).
this I find puzzling, maybe its what you a used to in other vehicles, but I find that the steering wheel diameter ideal and can't see any reason to increase it.
Put speedometer in location it can be fully viewed, perhaps top of dash, linearly(much easier to monitor speed creap because of puny engine).
another puzzle, both myself (5-11" and my wife 5'-3") have no problem seeing all the instruments at all times, can't figure out why you can't view it clearly
Put some padding on the hard surfaces, include steering wheel (comfort) !
steering wheel is fine, but a bit more cushion wouldn't go amiss. I guess you could pad more of the hard surfaces like the door panels, but it does make it easy to clean
Fix headrest (comfort).
wouldn't want to change them, we find these well designed and very comfortable - actually a headrest you can use!
Fix curve of backrest (comfort).
we find them comfortable, but an adjustable lumbar support would be an improvement. The best seats I've ever come across in a vehicle I have owned was a Volvo
Current manual adjustment of seat height - not enough range (comfort).
There is a power seat on the top model, but more height adjustment would be welcome but not critical
Stop putting the dang coating on the windshield (inside) that distorts vision at night. Bet you did not know it was there? You can not clean it off with anything I've tried. Using a very powerful solvent I managed to get some of it mixed to a gooey mess. Stayed foggy until next day when sun dried it again. Glass and plastics have different refractory indexes (night vision safety).
no idea what you are referring to, mines fine
Whatever it takes to improve wind impact of a passing tractor trailer causing sway (safety).
don't find it that unusual for the type of vehicle (you should expect something on a vehicle this tall), but I do find that I have less problems on my Rondo with wind impact that my previous vehicle which was 10" lower and 10" longer
anyway thats my input on your requests with another point of view.
I am not being nasty or critical. Everyone has their own opinions, but the Rondo is
the best equipped, handling, looking, convenient, seating, accessories and anything else you can mention, car for its price that I have ever driven.
There is NO torque steer, it has a cargo light, no glove box light, but with the map light on, no problem. The ESC and ABS are a bit scary at first, if like me you have never driven with them before, but they do not stop in the middle of an intersection and on an icy road, they kept me on the straight and narrow. Every one who rides with me comments, first, on the perfect height of the seats for easy access and 2nd the quality of the cloth on the seats.
We have 6,500 miles on it, mostly highway. We get approx. 23 miles per U.S. gallon. The V6 is as smooth and powerful as you could want. After driving 4 cyl. Toyotas for 17 years, I love getting back to a V6. On the 4 lane highways, we drive at 65 to 75 mph. You can put 8 ft. 2 x 4's in with the front seat folded. It has far more cargo capacity than its competitors and they ALL cost more.
In Europe this is the third generation Rondo (Caren), would any of you complain about a third generation model of most cars?
There, I said it and I'm glad!!!
Did they add adjustments for alignment of caster and cambor?
Quality of cloth not bad, but did they redesign the seat back so that you did not need to be a hunched over blue hair to match the curvature of your back?
ESC or ABS should never be scary. ABS might seem odd if it pumps the pedal as some do, but remember it will always do a better job of braking than you can, if it was designed correctly. As to ESC, I'm a bit confused because it has been said the method employed on this vehicle just kills power. And my first thoughts of it were that it was like traction control which I have on other vehicle. It does reduce power, but more importantly employs auto-braking to keep vehicle going straight.
I have a '07 EX V6 ... it's fantastic! I agree with conwelpic (post #317).
My only complaint are the headlights ... not used to the sharp line between light and dark when driving down an unlit road at night. The light isn't "defused" enough.
I like the wide spread for each side of the road, which in my case with living out in the country, helps pick up any possible critter coming out of the ditch - which has happened a few times!

We took it to a local dealer, not where we bought it. They got us in right at the scheduled time, and fixed it inside the time they estimated. (less than an hour) Loose Molex-type wiring connector came off the motor, pretty much what we had "diagnosed". They snapped it back on and it's fine and functional now. No rattles or squeaks from the door panel, either.
Gotta praise the Louisville Kia Store East for fast and efficient service. We've found that the service departments at the various Louisville Kia Stores to be pretty darned good over the time we had our Sedona. It's just tough to make a deal here, and we went over to Lexington for that reason, and for selection.
Headrests should be clear now - they adjust. Well. No one in our family and none of the handful of adults or big kids who have been in our '07 LX have found them to be a problem. Read the manual.
Seats are as comfortable as nearly any car I've sat in. I was in it more-or-less for 10 hours each way on a recent trip and can't fault the shape, adjustment, or cloth material on ours. One small cola spill cleaned up while still beaded on a seat surface, so I'm pleased and our son survived. Kids claim great comfort "back there" in the second row, and they rode as long as we did.
My wife drives "straight up" and close. I drive laid-back and straight-armed. We both find the seats just fine. (A note here: with airbags, you really, REALLY want the bag to fully inflate before you make contact on your way forward. Farther back is safer. Telescopic columns are going the way of bag cell phones for that reason.)
Can't find a position where I can't see the gauges. Orange color is great for me because it causes less eye-strain for me at night. Blues and greens irritate heck out of my eyes. I turn the lights to about 1/2 at night and enjoy it.
Steering wheel diameter? I just measured our old Aerostar and our aging Tracker and they're within fractions. Rim thickness? Perfect for us. The old Sedona had WAY too thick a rim and it was slippery. This one has good grip.
I really don't see the front-end adjustment issue as being much unless you wreck one or hit one of our spring potholes, hard. I still insist there is some "adjustment" for minor changes, and bet they're banking on parts replacement for big changes. You're going to see a lot more of this from most manufacturers because it is economical to build. If you look, you're going to find this in every brand soon or now. Collision shops straighten horrendous front-end bends and twists every day, and they come out fine. Hunter makes some great equipment these days!
We have no pull at all under any conditions, but I can see where a run of cars may have come off with the wrong front end for the engine size. It could be possible to mount the V-6 in the I-4 subframe I guess, it could happen during a run changeover, and it might change the ride-height and thus the geometry of the front suspension - maybe even the caster angle. Small changes in caster angle make BIG changes in handling! Any manufacturer has made some run errors in assembly. I've done a heck of a lot of high-volume assembly engineering, and it happens not matter how you guard against it. Might pay to compare part numbers of what you have versus what it should be. I think the struts are different parts with different spring rates, and I'd bet that subframe is, too.
ESC has an "off" position on the switch. If you don't trust it, turn it off. I think there is a combination of controls here involving brakes and engine power. I drove a friend's high-end Corvette "family car" a while back, and it would be otherwise uncontrollable without ESC. He uses it religiously, and he has raced for many more years and miles than I have. I lived in the Western New York snow belt for 36 years, and I would have loved it if I had it. It only comes on when the car might do something that would cause it to skid or roll, and it's quicker and better than I am. I'm still better than most.
Lights are superb. They just aren't "blue" if that means much to anyone, and they apparently don't irritate other drivers. I find them refreshingly like expensive accessory lights I used to put on my "performance" cars years ago. Yes, they have a sharp cut-off. You'll like that in rain, mist, fog, and snow. Less back-glare. I just drove about 400 miles in heavy rain at night and I never really desired any more or different lighting. It was very nice. I also like the side-lighting on high beam, for how seldom I end up using the highs.
Roof height, vehicle height, seat height are all reasons I chose this Rondo over many sedans and five-doors I could have picked. I want a high, roomy vehicle, with great visibility, otherwise I'd have bought a sedan. I just traveled through some of the wickedest weather and strongest wind gusts I've driven through in years and only parked off a ramp for a few minutes because of zero visibilty. (Most areas along this route got over 8" of rain in one overnight storm system. It can be hard to drive through that sort of downpour at night!) The Rondo was rock-solid and never once did I feel fear from cross-wind or semi draft. I even remarked many times that it is one of the most stable and secure-feeling passenger cars I've ever driven.
I don't know what in heck someone has found smeared on the inside of any windscreen, but there's nothing but glass on ours. I have no idea what any car manufacturer would put there, since NHTSA highway safety regulations pretty well spec what can or can't be there. I had to take a razor blade and some strong window cleaner to clean off the glue from the lot sticker that the detail crew missed. I would have found any slushy stuff or any stick-on layer there I'd think. There is the usual "scum" from the ABS plastic elastomers that "evaporate" and leach out in the heat and sun that invades every car every day. It's the smoky haze you find on every window, even if you don't smoke. We don't, we get the haze. Windex seems to work fine. (The windshield always gets more because of the surface area of the dash under it. It's there in any modern car.) Is there some form of applique for a wndshield de-icer or wiper de-icer on some model packages?
My only minor gripe to date is the lack of front overhead or courtesy foot-well lights upon opening the front doors. I susect some "package" on the EX has this? Also, in the cargo area, unless I'm too dumb to find the right setting, the overhead light only comes on if there's a door open - it's not connected to the hatch lid. There is one tiny courtesy light back there and it doesn't light much.
We like the washable surfaces but we have pets and kids. We also play hard. We got a lot of beach sand and salt-water residue inside this last rip. Cleans easily. We don't like leather for any price, and attempts to even "write it off" the price tag won't sway us.
Again, lots of cars, vans, mini vans and SUVs have all the answers to the complaints. Sometimes even in one vehicle. The price will be much higher. If I had this much I didn't like, I'd avoid the Rondo if you don't have one yet, or bail out while they're still scarce and desireable and buy something I liked better.
We're prejudiced. We love this car!
you stated: "My only minor gripe to date is the lack of front overhead or courtesy foot-well lights upon opening the front doors. I susect some "package" on the EX has this?

I agree on this, I have the EX model and it does not have that (I had floor lighting on my previous vehicle and liked that), also the rear overhead courtesy light not working with the hatch is rear dumb when they removed the side cargo light on the '08 model (at least in Canada). I'm in the process of trying to improve this with some auxiliary lighting.
But on the whole (a no vehicle is perfect regardless of price) we enjoy the Rondo very much and more so each time we drive it.

As to the coating on the glass, no I did not screw it up, just wish I could get the rest of it off. I suspect this is something they put on the glass to protect it till the vehicle is delivered or manugactured, but it needs to be removed because of the way it scatters light. It reminds me of the goop that is left after peeling off after-market tinting. Professionals, I'm told use steel wool with solvents to remove it, but I'm almost certain that could scratch the glass. My one experience with that goop was to use lots of brand new single edge razor blades till there was so little of it left I could get the rest of it with solvent soaked toweling.
Your driving positions, close and laid back are the only positions I can see speedometer well. Close as you know is dangerous because of the airbag. Laid back is not a choice for me either which you might learn as you get older or develop back problems because of driving like that. Driving injuries are never a good trade in life.
I appreciate your thoughts on wrong parts. But to get the excess caster the wheels would be moved forward meaning weaker springs, not stronger, on this I-4. It would seem that the lighter I-4/tranny combo would have not enough caster if V6 parts were used. Someone wrote the I-4 had plenty of power and no down-shifting through mountains. I can not say that the V6 combo with the extra gear in transmission would not have done the same thing, but crossing one ot the smaller local bridges yesterday it did downshift. Speed limit 45 and could be combination of available torque at that RPM. But what drew my attention to the speed was a gusting wind. Winds are usually very low in this area, to the point erecting electric windmills is not practicle. At 45MPH the vehicle was trying to go all over the place and I slowed down. If road had any slippery elements the safe speed would probably have been 30MPH. (Maybe I have a lemon?)
I know the film you mention, but this is something different. With the high power solvent and elbow grease it lathered to a white translucent goop. Once the solvent evaporated it turned clear again.
GM did a superior job of implementation on high end cars for stability/traction control, which makes me wonder of the complaints associated with this vehicle.
Washable surfaces such as arm rest do not need to be brick hard to impart more injury if something happens.
An aside to I4/V6 discussion. I know of one line of vehicles, Cavalier style, where insurance is much cheaper for V6. I questioned agent on this point and it had two points. The heavier engine and sub-frame imparted more of the kinetic energy to the other vehicle and thus less to your passengers. Smaller hospital bills under medical. The other part was less damage to your vehicle because of the heavier sub-frame, reducing that component of your insurance.
I'm curious which tires came on yours? And why no leather? In only one vehicle have I found a steering wheel that came close to matching a leather one and it did not have a hard plastic finish but something that resembled a velvet texture and as gripable as leather. Only downside was it collected any goop from hands and needed monthly thorough cleaning. I'd rather do the frequent cleaning.
Finding the correct switch setting for the rear area takes a small effort for both the overhead one and the lower one on the side. Separate switches and they do work.
I find it annoying that the doors do not autolock upon putting key in or starting engine. Yet if you unlock from outside, close door, they will lock in a few seconds. Seems totally backwards, if an attacker approached it might lock just as you seek the interior for safety and once in it would stay unlocked for intruder entry.
For those who don't know, the first rule of stability is a low center of gravity. And for comfort of ride the lower your head/body is, that is the closer to the height of the axle, the more comfortable a ride is. Those are starting points and although you can play with tires, suspension, and wheel base those are only trade-offs to correct the initial problem. I would not suggest using a cattle car to haul kids.
Also the coating on the windshield sounds like the PDI was not done very well, again it should be returned to the dealer to have it removed.

I have had my 08 Rondo for about 4 hours and I love it !!! The exterior color is Black Cherry and the interior is black. However, the floor mats are a medium gray. Does any one know if this is the "right" color for the black interior. It kinda looks OK, but I guess I would have expected black mats with the black carpet. Just want to make sure I got what I should have. Thanks in advance !
After the repair my first stop will be at the hardware store to buy either galvanized or stainless steel hard ware mesh that I will mount in the openings where future rocks could potentially drain my wallet.
Doing a bit of research turned up many Honda civics and Scion's that have had this happen much to the dismay of their owners. I've yet to look at my Yaris to see if the vulnerability exists also.
1. Brake squeal. Occurs after car has sat for a few hours. Most noticable when backing up, but not exclusively. After apply brakes once or twice it ceases until it is parked again for a long time. Present for most of the time have had car. Dealer says that brakes are still breaking in. Not sure I buy this.
2. When put in reverse there is a low slow clicking / ticking sort of noise that arises 70% of the time.. It cycles about 120 -180 clicks per minute. Present most of time, loudness varies. As soon as I give it a little gas, the noise stops. Seems to be more of a harmonic sound that is related to engine RPMs. Transmission seems to function normally, ATF level is fine. Could not reproduce when took to the dealer. Any ideas on this?
These do not appear to be serious problems but are annoying for a new car. Thanks!
2. This maybe the ESC doing a automatic system self-check. This is mentioned on page 5/20 in your manual and also on page 5/19. I haven't noticed it, but the radio usually comes on as soon as I start the car, so wouldn't be aware of it doing it.

Blaming Kia? It could have been designed better to prevent rock punctures. Kia didn't throw the rock and puncture the AC.
The same problem has happened with other makes of cars. Designing and building bullet proof products isn't economically feasible. Few will be able to afford the product. You have to weigh the costs vs the remote chance of failures from uncommon occurrences.
The posting will hopefully help others to take measures to prevent this from happening. $5.00 worth of hardware cloth is cheap insurance.
These work great but now I'm relocating to California and won't need the snow tires any more. They have only 1k miles on them. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to sell these tires locally in Buffalo.
Let me know. thanks.
We bought our 07 EX V6 Luxury in mid Aug 2007, having traded a 1998 Legacy AWD wagon on it.
After 11 months and 16,000 kms (10,000 miles), we have to report that the Rondo has been the MOST reliable vehicle we have ever owned (out of a Honda, Subaru, 2 Fords, a Chevy, a Dodge and a Mitsubishi). Only a stubborn Check Engine Light when the car was new (just needed to tighten the gas cap more).
Fuel economy remains 33mpg highway (Imperial gallon, 4.54 litres) with 2 adults, 2 kids and a load of luggage, and 25-26 mpg Imperial around town.
It went through a snowy winter quite well, but we did fit it with studded winter tires on steel rims.
All in all, a great car for a family!

They also noted a navigation system as an option. Don't know where that would slot into the dash.

We first purchased an 08 Urban Grey for me......we loved it so much, that we bought the Black Cherry model only a couple of months later. We are very, very happy with the Rondo!
07 to 08
- "fingers" in front cup holders
- cargo light
- side clips for 3rd row seatbelts
- front ash tray (at least photos of 07s have a plastic cover in front of the up holders which could conceal one. Never bothered to check when I looked at one. Seamless plastic on the 08s)
+ audio-in, 12v socket in center console
~ parking brake release changed from hand to foot operation
08 to 09
+ more HP, torque in both engines
+ second row seats recline 180 degrees (see Canadian brochure)
+ Sirius radio
+ DVD, nav options
Anything I missed? Got wrong?

Its hard to check specifically as the US website still has '08 info only. The US is way behind on '09 info, in Canada there is many '09 on lots and very little '08's left. My dealer had only one left a week ago.
I know that nothing has been spilled on the seats, but the slightest rain drops seem to leave a grayish stain on the "premium" cloth seats as if something is soaking through from the padding underneath.
Anyone else have this problem?
07 EX 4 cylinder 5 seat.
I use an auto upholstery cleaner and everything wipes right up. The interior looks as good now as the day we bought it.
I've played with different settings on the controls including the on/off switch for the air recirculation. During a humid summer day the inside will fog up ... on a cold winter day it will ice up.
Any help will be appreciated.
I've had the problems you mentioned but its always cleared up without much problem. Make sure the air filter (cabin) is okay as it may require cleaning or replacement depending on the conditions where you live. Check all your outputs as indicated in your manual and make sure you getting full air flow with each one.

Would want factovr tint. The BIG problem would be the squeezing the large storage space I currently have.for exanded trips. (2 people & piles of luggage including 2 sewing machines {not business}). Maybe I'll have to stick with my current size vehicle for next purchase. Retired senior.
My headlight bulbs have never needed replacing in the 214,000 kilometers I have had my 2002 Honda Odyssey. Will this be the same for the Rondo?
