2007 | 4dr Minivan, ext. 235-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic FWD |
The bench back seems kinds stiff after sitting in the captains chairs.That is one thing they could improve. see full Nissan Quest review |
2005 | 4dr Minivan, ext. 240-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic FWD |
MOST COMFORTABLE VEHICLE FOR 7 PASSENGERS AND THE SKYVIEW MAKES A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE. NISSAN RELIABILITY OF THE 3.5L IS RESOUNDING.IF THEY CAN ONLY FIX THE ROTOR ISSUE IT WOULD BE THE BEST VAN ON THE MARKET see full Nissan Quest review |
2007 Kia Rondo Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||

2008 | 4dr Wagon 182-horsepower 2.7L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Tall large people can sit in the second row with more comfort as they can in the front seats of our Honda Civic or Sebring convertible. Third row is not bad for short trips for adults and children would be good for longer trips. see full Kia Rondo review |

We have enough room for our two kids and the dog in addition to the cargo space for luggage or groceries. see full Kia Rondo review |

2007 | 4dr Wagon 162-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
It is difficult to find a comfortable driving position in the manual seat because the seat tilts forward as it lifts up. Lumbar support is poor an the steering wheel is too far away. see full Kia Rondo review |
