Hello Fellow Ebay'ers. You are bidding on a Canadian KIA Rondo EXV6 with 3rd row seating, tinted windows, and custom remote starter with nice range. The car currently has 95,187km on it, and we have had this vehicle since it was brand new. This vehicle has been well maintained inside and out through both maintenance (oil changes, etc) as well as through detailing (washing, waxing, etc) . This car also has a decent set of relatively new all season tires, which have been on the car for less than 16,000km. I would consider the car to be it in very nice condition with the exception of normal wear and tear (light scratches / small paint chips on hood from gravel) and the following noted items: Some scuffs on the driver side rear and passenger side front rims, A large scratch / small dent on the passenger side front door near the window, small chip in the windshield that has been there since the 1st month we owned the vehicle while driving from Edmonton to Calgary, and missing plastic section under the bumper. I have taken pictures of all of the above and can provide greater detail if needed. Mechanicaly, the car drives soundly with solid engine and transmission performance with no known defects. The interior of the car is also in really great shape, but again, it is because we have had the car detailed several times with interior shampoo, Armor all, etc. This car is under the standard KIA Canada warranty for 160,000km, so there is about 65,000km remaining. All in all, this has been a very good car for us and our family, but we just got to the point where we needed a larger vehicle. If it wasnt for that, we would be keeping this car for years to come. The vehicle is being sold "as-is" with no warranty from the Seller (me). In terms of transportation, the Buyer will be responsible for the arrangement and payment of any transportation from Vancover, BC. If you have any questions and/or comments about the vehicle, I would most gladly answer them upon your inquiry. If you would like additional pictures, I will provide them for you as well. Again, this has been a really great car for us. The person who wins this Auction will be getting a real solid vehicle. Good Luck Bidders!

Did a US automaker blow the whistle on Hyundai, Kia fuel economy issue?

Mon, 17 Dec 2012

In all of the most hotly contested mainstream segments of the motoring universe, the difference of one mile per gallon averaged on a widow sticker can mean the difference between a sale and a walk-off - to say nothing of two or three mpg. So, when Hyundai and Kia were forced to reveal that many of their 40-mpg ratings were actually 38s and 37s, well, it made for big news.
It also, conceivably, made for a competitive disadvantage immediately, when the Korean automakers' products were being shopped versus the guys down the block. And it's that disadvantage that makes a recent story from Automotive News so juicy.
AN is reporting that Margo Oge, former head of the Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Transportation and Air Quality, got a tip in 2010 that Hyundai/Kia were "cheating" to get its impressive fuel economy numbers. The tip, said Oge (who retired from the EPA this past September), came from a senior vice president from a domestic automaker. The source was credible enough for Oge to launch an audit of the Hyundai figures, which ultimately lead to the debacle that we reported on a few months ago, and that the Korean company has been trying to bounce back from ever since.

2015 Kia K900

Wed, 29 Jan 2014

Let's be honest, Rich America. When you drive your fullsize luxury sedans, you don't clock any laps of the Nürburgring. You don't view your car as an alternative to air travel, ready to wheel between countries at triple-digit Autobahn speeds. Heck, you don't even take the long way home. Instead, you commute in fender-to-fender gridlock looking to be assuaged by sybaritic luxuries, your ride serving as a four-wheeled extension of your living room. Yet when it comes time to vote with your pocketbooks, you overwhelmingly skew toward European driving values - German ones, more specifically. You favor the firm rides, firmer seats and quick steering of cars like the BMW 7 Series and Audi A8. What gives? That's what Kia is clandestinely asking with its new 2015 K900.
According to Kia PR director Scott McKee, this 200.6-inch bruiser of a sedan is all about "at-ease luxury." That's a notion that was once very much synonymous with American automakers' approach to big high-end sedans - effortless comfort above all other considerations. Sprawling room in every direction. Fine materials no matter where the hand falls. The automobile as an isolative cocoon. Once upon a time, Cadillac and Lincoln owned the Comfort First game, but these days, there's almost nobody playing - the Lexus LS and Hyundai Equus are the only cars in this end of the market, everyone else is busy aping German values.
Kia planners could claim that the K900 has been intentionally targeted at a different sort of customer - and indeed, during the press conference ahead of our first drive in Santa Barbara, there was some discussion of "a different kind of luxury" and seeking "confident individualist" buyers. But the truth is, the Korean premium car shoppers that this car was primarily designed for crave exactly the sort of plush luxury experience the K900 dispenses. In other words, Kia is hoping that there are a few thousand like-minded Americans willing to overlook the badge on its nose and give this car a chance.
