Depending on the Kia

2007 Rondo 4 cylinder has a chain instead of a belt. It does not get my recommendation as a good commuter car though.

Well, I love my Scion xB and actually use it to commute the 122 mile round trip. But when I bought the car I lived in seattle and I said that it was my “50 mile car”. That is, I saw it as an awesome urban commuter and great for my hobby, being in rock and pop bands.

The only two things I didn’t like about it when I bought it was that it is geared kinda low and cruise control was not even available as an option, hence my “50 mile car” description. That’s why I’m looking for something more suited to the long haul, though I will still keep the xb. The new car will probably replace the Chrysler, which is very comfortable but is really on its last legs - And the AC doesn’t work, which will kill you in the 90-100 degree days during summer here.
