Thanks, I suspect it is less than 5%. I often find that people list cars as having manual transmissions, only to find that they are in fact automatics (never the other way round). I have owned my Rondo for six years, and I have only ever seen max three others with the 6M transmission.

I received the recall notice from Kia for the engine failure problem earlier this year, so fingers crossed. I'm at 85000 km and so far repairs have just been normal wear and tear items like brakes. The only exception was body work on the hatch and rear bumper after someone backed their pickup out of a parking space without looking and hit the rear of my car with their running board.
