Kia Rondo Reliability
Want to more clearly know what the difference in reliability will be if you buy a Kia Rondo rather than another vehicle? Concerned about your chances of getting a lemon?
TrueDelta provides this information in the form of "times in the shop" stats that make the actual repair rates clear and, in the future, "lemon-odds."
The latest Car Reliability Survey (CRS) results include Kia Rondo reliability information based on owner experiences through June 30, 2010:

The Tire Rack offers the Internet's most extensive collection of Kia Rondo tire reviews, tire survey results, and tire tests. To see which tires are available for the Kia Rondo--or for your car--and go from there to Tire Rack's comprehensive information, use the tool in the sidebar.
The Tire Rack can be especially useful as a source of winter tires, which I have strongly recommended ever since buying a set for my car. If you're unhappy with your car's handling and braking on snow and ice, you probably just need proper winter tires, not a new car.
