Kia Rondo
This five-door hatchback was one of the market's revelations when it was introduced about two years ago. Its pleasant shape, its versatile interior, and well-balanced road handling were the most appreciated qualities. And let's not forget the possibility of choosing between a four-cylinder and a V6 engine. The Rondo was initially so popular that the company went out of stock, but inventories are back up and sales continue to rise.
