Dope rims and slice of fresh chromed wheels keep it gangsta.
The Kia spectra is one of the best handling and accelerating cars on the market. It is versatile it is revolutionary and just plain awesome. Vin etching on the windows allow cheaper insurance. Great market value and great stylish films bump this car to legendary.

Great gas mileage, FANTASTIC breaks. And Paid off!
I love everything about my car. Great on gas. Has fantastic breaks. They do NOT jerk you forward if you have to stop suddenly. What isn't there to love?

My car gets good gas mileage and has pretty well in the time I have owned. It runs well and it should last a while longer if I take care of it. It had an alignment issue when I bought it and has not needed any major repairs until earlier this year.
It is fuel efficient and reliable. Kia is a good brand.
Tamara B
It is a great value for your money.
I like it's low maintenance, it hardly costs me anything. I like the price it cost to purchase it. I love it's reliability.
Roger B
Love it because it's cheap on gas. Easy to drive. It's reliable in every way.
Good gas mileage and made very well for the size of a car it is.
Kim K
Best car for a low price that withstands teenage drivers
Excellent gas mileage. Goes well in snow. Burns out light bulbs frequently. Over 250 000 miles and still going strong

Great car for beginners!!
My Kia is a perfect first car. It's easy to maintain and drives really smoothly. I love that it's spacious and easy to Park. Overall the only issues I've ever had are regular wear and tear like rotors and brakes. Oil changes are easy. The engine and transmission are also really nice and the donut tire in the trunk has saved me many times.

At 15 years old the air conditioning still works and there are no leaks of any kind
I bought my vehicle brand new in 2003 and still driving it today. I love my Kia it may not look the best right now but it still runs well. I have no complaints it is the best car I have ever owned.
Negative Owner Reviews
Selene V
Economic, but problematic car.
The car is too small. The air conditioner does not work, no air to the back of car. Makes nice when you stop and the motor shakes, the mirrors from the passenger and drivers seat both fall off very easily. The air conditioner smells after a while. When it rains water goes in.
James R
It's unreliable, and things not covered by warranty started breaking very soon after buying the car.
It started falling apart very quickly. It isn't a very reliable car. However, it has a lot more zip than you would expect and handles very well.

That it may be a piece of junk but I appreciate it because it gets me to where I need to go.
I like that it gets me to and from picking my son up. I hate that it's a piece of c**p.
Miranda I
It should last over 20 years without major repairs.
I dislike that you have to have metric tools. Also changing out lights is a pain. Drives well.
Samantha C
Decent car for how simple it is.
The car runs pretty well, it is nothing fancy. The heater/ac does not work and there is no cruise control. Other than that, I like the car. It is comfortable and reliable. The trunk is a decent size too. Sometimes it seems like I am driving a tin can though. You can feel every bump and hear everything happening outside.
Thomas S
The car runs smooth and is very reliable.
There is nothing special about this car. It has a decent body style with a good cloth interior. The car runs smooth and does not need much maintenance. The is reliable and never really has any problems. This car will get you where you need go with no problems.
Karen B
The safety features that come on this vehicle.
I do not like that it is a manual drive or that the clutch has given me such a hard. It keeps eating up batteries.. It rides decent, it's good on gasoline.
Angel H
Great on gas cheap parts but not very pretty.
Great on gas mileage and replacement parts have been cheap. Reliable vehicle overall. Looks pretty basic though. The vehicle is not made to be aesthetically pleasing. It runs, it drives, it will not make you feel pretty though.
Kia Spectra Models
Models also known as Trim Levels, are used to identify a vehicle's level of equipment or special features.
The only problem with my car is the brake fluid keeps leaking. Other than that it is a good car, feels good on the road. All of the internal parts and lights work as far as the heat radio and all. It only has a CD player due to the year so no Bluetooth features and no automatic starter.
