Looking at a 2008 Rondo. Just want some input whether people like it, or have had problems with theirs

Louis, you are looking at a 10 year old car. All that matters is having a mechanic check it for defects and whether you and whoever might be involved want to buy it.

Who knows. Maybe someone else here had one, and has an opinion? But of course, it’s worth having the candidate examined before buying this particular car. Let’s see if someone knows something more generalizable.

My SIL had one and they liked it a lot. The only downside was cargo space. They usually travelled with all three rows filled with people, and cargo space is almost nonexistent with the third row in use.

I can sure vouch for a 2009 Kia Rondo. Bought one for my wife at Carmax with 30 K miles, wife drove it another 130 K miles and only had 2 very minor problems with it.  
One thing that really impressed me about the car is that it never leaked a drop of trans fluid, steering fluid, engine oil or coolant .  
Based on the Rondo we traded for a 2016 Kia Soul  
If this 2008 has been properly cared for go for it
