Nice links thanks!
Okay I'm through the first 'negative' review on the cars.com link and found this near the end.
The question, though, is who is going to see that value? Thrifty compact-SUV shoppers who can no longer find a sub-$20,000 vehicle? Minivan owners who are looking to downsize and save money? I'm not sure, because Kia's full-size Sedona minivan starts at a price similar to a V-6 Rondo, but with a much more powerful engine.
There is nothing similar price wise from a V-6 Ronda to a Sedona, in fact, it's quite a substantial price difference. That's my first gripe.
Second is the knock on the rear fold down seats. I agree that they're a pain in the 7 seater model but the 5 seater model is about a simple as simple can get.
As far as looks - it does look a bit 'goofy' as I tend to say but it must have grown on me because I actually enjoy the look now. When I put some nice wheels on this, it'll look a little nicer. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder though isn't it.
There were a lot of positives in the article but I do take a bit of exception when critiques don't do their homework. Credibility then goes out the window.
