My most recent rental car - a Kia Rondo

A Kia Rondo, originally uploaded by rob-the-org.

Unlike the Nissan Versa I had back in the fall (and positively hated it), my most recent trip involved this Kia Rondo.

At first I was like - great another cheap small car. But it pleasantly surprised me. It had a 3rd row (which got used during lunch breaks) that folded down easily for carrying luggage. And it didn't feel underpowered (I could accelerate onto the highway just fine). My only complaints were that the windows weren't tinted, and there was no cover for the back (w/ the 3rd row folded down), so I had to make sure my stuff was secure when I parked the car.
