Competitors include the Mazda5, has the edge on three fronts: safety, space and value. It cornes with a 162- horsepower, 2.4-litre four-cytinder engine with more power than most of the others. But it can also be equipped with a 2.7-litre, 185-horsepower V6, which none of its competitors offer. The four-cylinder is matched with a four-speed automatic and the V6 gets a five-speed automatic. The exterior is fairly conventional in appearance with a stylish rear-end, which ix hard to accomplish with such a boxy shape. The interior ix a treat for the eyes with style and thoughtful touches everywhere you look. Worthy of particular praise is the centre stack and the variety of storage nooks and crannies scattered throughout. The matenials are of a very high quality and fit and finish are worthy of a Iuxury car. The combination of orange illumina- tion and charcoal trim furthers the upscale impression. The front seats are wide and com- fortable, the second-row units provide ample knee rooni and the available third row ix suitahie for small folks. Kia figures show the Rondo bas more head, shoulder and leg room than the compe- tition. With the third row in place, there ix precious little storage room hehind, but with it folded flat into the floor there ix a wide, level, well-finished cargo area complete with small, secure storage spaces beneath. In five-passen- ger configuration there are more and larger hidden storage areas under the cargo floor. The backs of both front seats and the second-row seats fold fiat. The Rondo rides and handies like a car and ix exceptionally quiet in ternis of wind and road noixe.
