The Mazda 5 is a minivan with no third row.
It handles better and is more fun to drive than the Rondo.
The Kia Rondo is more like a small crossover. It is cheaper to own and maintain, but is just as practical as the Mazda.
Both have similar reliability and gas mileage.
If you like fun cars, get the Mazda 5.
If you like something more comfortable and quiet, get the Kia.
