2000 Kia Spectra Overview, Reviews, Ratings & Specs

I've owned this vehicle for 14 yrs and have never had any issue other than minor repairs and maintenance.

Bought this car new for my wife. It's been the most dependable vehicle i've ever owned. It's good on gas and still runs well at 176k miles. Im looking for a new car and will probably get another kia. It is a bit to small only issue.

I got it used so it had problems from the start. I have to admit it is doing better than expected. I am finding it difficult to get a mechanic to fix it at times. It does keep going after each problem. The back windows do not work, the speedometer is off and the inside lights flicker when the headlights are on. It has 99 problems, but it keeps going. My main issue is working on the problems it has. Important things that go out are impossible to get to without either pulling out half the engine or lifting it completely. It is just getting costly to maintain.

My Kia spectra is great, it is still running at 174, 000 miles just fine. I wouldn't recommend getting the car in navy blue because the paint job does start to get pretty bad. It has a lot of room and is very comfortable. Also it is very good on gas miles, I only have to fill it up once a week.

It is an older vehicle with manual windows and manual locks. I don't like the CD player and would prefer a car with a bluetooth system that could sync with my phone. I like that it is a compact car with a manual transmission.

I like that I have space. My child's toys and car seat fit. I dislike that its so old and I dislike that the air conditioner doesn't work.

My car is very reliable and safe. The minor issues are overheating due to blown head gasket and other components. Otherwise it has been great for me and well taken care of. Can't wait till I'm able to fix bbn it and getting running better. Vehicle is very fuel efficient and friendly
