Hi Andy,
If you have child seat installed on 2nd row. It is hard for you to let people get into 3rd without removing your child set at 2nd row..Because, NAZA had cut the cost and make the 2nd row seat in 1 pieces.. Not that stupid design from KIA but stupid modification from NxZx

Hi Kevin
I'm considering the Rondo EXS, but have a concern regarding child seat. Since you have several child seats in your Rondo, can you tell me if it's difficult to let passengers into the last row once you have your child seat installed in the middle row?
The entire middle row slides, so if I have a child seat installed there, will it have enough sliding room (to move forward)?
Thanks for your advice.

Andy

Are you considering 2nd hand 2008 Rondos? There are a few in the market.

The Innova has high running costs and is a very dated car IMO.

If you can afford an Innova, I recommend you check out the Ssangyong Stavic which is unbeatable value at its current asking price.

Wow an 11 seater at RM110k! But it's too big for me.
The Rondo fits my requirements except for the 2nd row seats with child seat. After doing a bit more research, I'm also concerned about spare parts availability and cost.
The Exora is now on my radar, I think it's good value for money.

It has been proven that Korean car parts are cheaper than Japanese parts.

The Exora is a decent vehicle but severely underpowered for its intended purpose. It's fit and finish is still lacking when compared to the Rondo.

Saw few Exora at genting last month, really struggling with roaring engine during going uphill, kasian betul. Alza could be less heavy but Grand livina definately much better.
