Red Light
Peinture de très mauvaise qualité. Pas de déverrouillage des portes sur le modèle LX.
Yellow Light
Pas de lumière dans le coffre arrière et pas de serrure permettant d'ouvrir la hayon arrière. Volant non télescopique. La consommation d'essence est supérieure a mes attentes. Vitres pas assez teinté. Programme d'entretien recommandé onéreux (Changement de l'huile a transmission et antigel fréquent, etc...)
Green Light
Excellente visiblité et maniabilité. Beaucoup d'espace intérieur. Équipement de sécurité complet. Port USB & Bluetooth et roues en alliage de série. Garantie 5ans/100 000km. Le 4 cyl. de 2,4 litres suffit amplement a la tâche. Capacité de remorquage très utile. Les longs voyages sont extrêmement agréable dans ce véhicule!
Review:
Malgré ses lacunes, j'adore ma Rondo! Je compte la conserver de très nombreuses années.

Red Light
Il n'y a pas de serrure `pour ouvrir le hayon, il faut utiliser la manette. L'oubli le plus fragrant c'est l'éclairage pour le coffre arrière. Il faut l'allumer manuellement (mon épouse doit embarquer à l'intérieur pour rejoindre l'interrupteur). Cela fait 2 fois que j'oublie de l'éteindre (très mauvais pour la batterie).
Yellow Light
Je trouve la suspension bruyante. En haute vitesse le sifflement du vent est fatiguant
Green Light
Très agréable à conduire,bonne visibilité, confortable, beaucoup d'espace pour les genoux. Très bonne accélération, belle ligne.conduite de nuit très visible. Bluetooth et USB sur la radio est un +. Beaucoup d'espace pour le rangement. Les sièges chauffants sont très pratiques.Les commandes audio et les commandes du régulateur de vitesse sur le volant sont formidables.Les coussins gonflables sont un + pour la sécurité
Review:
Dans l'ensemble, je suis très satisfait et je la recommande très fortement. Ce qui m'a incité à acquérir ce véhicule c'est un bon compromis entre une fourgonnette ( je possédais une Montana) et une voiture. De plus la garantie de 5 ans et l'assistance routière de 5 ans. De plus lorsque j'ai acheté ma Rondo les termes étaient 0 dollars comptant 0% d'intérêts pour 48 mois. De plusj'ai eu $2000.00 de rabais

Red Light
Beware of grumpy auto journalist ratings, just because it doesn't go 300 kmh they call it 'frumpy and dowdy', well the room is waiting for you at Belevue there Bengt.
Yellow Light
As for the detentes for the hvac knob, we got used to it. When you open the tailgate at night, there is no interior light, which makes it awkward to find things, you have to open any of the other doors to get light in there or do as we did, bought one of those LED lamps (at the dollar store of all places) that you click on and voila, we have light and we can find what we need without opening doors.
Green Light
Well, here we are 11 months later, and we are just as impressed as originally stated in our Jan 30 2009 review. Not a single problem mechanical or otherwise and we have over 20,000Km. Gas millage is about 8L/100Km.
Review:
This UUV has met and surpassed all our expectations, love it and highly recommend it.

Happy motoring.

Red Light
No light in the cargo area No key entry on the hatch - it can only be opened with the remote
Yellow Light
Keyless lock system is a bit tricky to get used to - requires multiple pushes to open passenger doors and hatch Fog lights do not opperate independantly of the headlights
Green Light
Very good visibility all around makes it easy to manuevre and park Very stable and solid road feel make this a very comfortable highway car Steering wheel audio controls contribute to comfort and safety, as does the "Blue Tooth" feature
Review:
We've had our Rondo for a couple of months now and couldn't be happier with it. It's peppy and fun to drive anywhere, but especially plesent on the highway when I can flick on the cruse control and just enjoy the ride.
Already we've had occasion to make use of all the room this car offers for both, passengers and cargo, and find that to be one of its best features. (we have the 7 passenger version) The versatility offered by split/folding seats have made trips to the airport with big, heavy bags much easier.
The Rondo has certainly filled our need for a roomy, comfortable car, but smaller and mor economic than the traditional mini van which it replaced.

Review:
So far I am very happy with my Rondo. Everything works, it runs great although I have only had it for a few weeks, I keep finding new things Iike. For instance the little hook on the passenger for hanging bags out of the way of passengers feet, a neat safety feature. The dorr storage has a water bottle area. I know these are small things but as long as the vehick\ke runs well small things stand out.

Red Light
Sans être anormale, je trouve la consommation d'essence assez élevée... Lorsque j'ai fais l'acquisition du véhicule, je donnais en échange mon bon vieux PT Cruiser. Le vendeur m'a dit que la consommation d'essence serait équivalente à mon ancien véhicule... De deux choses l'une: soit il n'a jamais conduit un PT Cruiser, soit il n'a jamais conduit un Rondo...
Yellow Light
Niveau sonore assez élevé sur la route.. Il y a beaucoup d'espace dans le coffre pour mettre ses achats mais malheureusement aucun couvre bagage (du moins pas de série) pour les mettres à l'abri des regards indiscrets. Je recommande donc de choisir le Rondo avec les vitres teintées...
Green Light
Position de conduite, beaucoup d'équipements pour un prix plus que raisonnable, beaucoup d'espace de rangement.

Red Light
Peinture extrèmement facile à égratigné Cuir des sièges mince
Yellow Light
Bruits de suspension Bruits provenant du hayon (porte arrière) Essuie glace arrière ne fonctionne pas par intermitance
Green Light
Beau look en général Intérieur spacieux Bon service après vente
Review:
Je suis propriétaire du véhicule depuis un mois et je constate un bon nombre d'égratignures sur la carosserie ce qui me laisse croire que la peinture est très fragile.
