Is there any differences between these 2 version? other than the new grill for 2011 model. especially engine setting etc.

i think engine wise, are the same. i didnt read anywhere that they change the engine. only forte & optima using a newer ones

Rondo very petrol consuming, go for Alza instead, much better car.

Cannot compare,rondo is 2 liter car, more power.
Alza 1.5 liter, less power

just to confirm coz some said that rondo are using same engine with forte 2.0. the actual fact is rondo still using GEMA Theta engine instead of Theta II engine(forte n optima k5).

Nope... IINM Forte power output is only 156hp.... Rondo produces the sam amount.....

Theta II in K5 produce 165hp.....

any advice on Rondo..plan to purchase.
ex or eds better? I heard now got discount?

How much?

And here's what I think about the Rondo:

are you an owner or are basically just repeating what people say about korean cars!?
back to ts question,
The only difference is the grille. BTW the rondo is a great MPV. very under rated. I seriously can't understand why its not doing well. If possible get one with the bodykit and smoked headlamps.
