It's white, it has 4 doors. It has a CD player. It's over 20 years old.
It gets fairly good gas mileage. It's small, it doesn't take much to fill up in gas. It doesn't have a navigation system.

Awesome trunk space in a small package.
I think that this care is pretty reliable. It is got a sunroof which is great, but I feel like the tranny will go soon. It is lasting I love the spacious feeling even though it is pretty small. The trunk space is pretty nice, too! The pickup is pretty nice and gas mileage is pretty good, too.

How the back sticks up and you have a hard time backing up. This is really a big issue for me.
I like the size of the vehicle but I don't like the way the back end sticks up. I can't see well backing up and it makes it very hard when shopping. It is low to the ground and makes it hard to get out of it. I do like the looks of it and it rides well.

Small compact car easy to drive
It's a small compact car,good on gas,easy to drive,but is expensive to fix,wish it would come with automatic alarm system. Parts are very expensive for such a little car. Wish it had more trunk space, wish the interior was a different color and easier to clean.

I have a great spare tire in my trunk. I can't get in my trunk.
Overall the car is not in the best of shape. It has a hole in the exhaust and is very loud. Besides this, I also cannot open my driver side door on the inside. I have to roll my window down in order to get out of my car. Along with all of this, my key is broken in the ignition. I cannot lock my car or get in my trunk.

Spectra 5 is an excellent vehicle.
I love my Kia spectra5. It has a really fast pickup, has been maintenance free, and still looks sporty. It is fun to drive and gets good gas mileage. The price when we bought it new was good and it has kept its value well. If I were going to purchase a new vehicle I would purchase a Kia again.

It is a keeper. Plan on driving it for several more years.
It gets great mpg,$120 for 100 miles of travel. Takes about $25 per month for gas. Sound motor, runs so quiet I sneak up on people. Cannot hear the motor run inside the car, fits me. Only bad thing is no ac. Love the stick shift 5 speed.

It's a small car but I love it
I bought my car online through fb market. The car looked really nice in pictures but when I went to go but it there were a few dings in it. My car is real good on gas. Its small so the is really meant for one person or a small child. My car has good take off speed. My oil is leaking that's the only problem that I have. I would say my Car is reliable.

Quiet smooth and relaxing drive with Kia Spectra5
The Kia Spectra5 Hatchback with sunroof drives smooth and last for years. No problems with the engine and great on gas. Keep up with normal upkeep with this car and it will stay in brand new condition.

This Kia is an very good car it drives well and is very good on gas just service it and take good care of it and it will take good care of you u would but another one if I could afford one everyone should own one I just love the look of it and the feeling of having a 4-wheel drive to go where I need to go with ease I wish Kia would give me a new one ha, ha I know that will not happen, but just thought I would put that out there. Thank you for listening.

Great Car: Roomy and Reliable
My car gets me from point A to point B without any kind of issue or sound. It's comfortable and roomy and I wouldn't want any other car.

My vehicle is a Kia spectra ex 5 speed standard, worst car ever.
Clutch burns out pin slip out on shifter had to change my battery twice and clutch pedal has been replaced twice now gets good gas mileage but do not seem to have much power as it once did do not seem to know the problem with the car seems I fix one thing and another thing breaks or needs replaced.
accountCircle Stephanie W on July 12, 2020
Comfortable reliable small car.
I think the car works great! It's small enough to fit into tight spaces. It's probable not the best car for bigger individuals because it is not the most spacious. However, it is perfect for driving to work and around town.
accountCircle Sarah R on May 19, 2020
It's faster than you think it is.
It has been a pretty good vehicle but the check engine light comes on a lot. And you have to replace the gas cap.
accountCircle Florence P on May 16, 2020
I love my Kia and plan to drive it many more years.
It gets good gas mileage, the motor is quiet, I sneak up on people before they know I am near them. Comfortable for long or short rides. It has an excellent radio. Back seats fold down to make more cargo space, carried four cats in comfort from upper Maine to south western Virginia, we had no problems. Good struts and excellent clutch assembly.

2007 Kia Spectra is a great all around sedan with not many flashy aspects.
Very comfortable car for being a compact. Never had issues with engine or motor. Only have had to replace radiator once in 10 years.

My cousin has put a few dents and bangs to it, but still looks good
My Kia Spectra5 runs pretty smoothly. The biggest issue I have had is with the transmission. The airbag light stays on. Also, the check engine light comes back on even after fixing the issue at hand. The car shakes when the AC is turned on. It is kid friendly.

Comfortable and small enough to fit anywhere on the road.
I love my car because it is reliable. However, my cars is old so it has very many quirks. It only has heat, when I turn the air one the car will sometimes squeal, car will shake when parked, and it has a pretty small back.

How to check the fluid levels such as oil levels, radiator water levels, and how to change a tire.
The paint job is oxidized, it is very small, & there are several things that need repair.

It's a reliable vehicle. There's never been any major issues.
It's a good car overall. It's gotten me from anywhere I need to be not requiring a ton of maintenance. There's been a lasting problem with fan belts even after they were all replaced. But the car still drives good.

Great car for single individual and family.
All around great car for family road trips or even just for job commuting. Running 100k miles and still strong would definitely recommend for new buyers. Everything is pretty simple to get to and easy to fix. Very reliable car for a single individual and also great family car. Very spacious lots of trunk space.

It runs good and haven't had much to repair. The paint faded quickly in the sun. It's good on gas.

Comfortable and dependable
My car is dependable. I purchased the brand new. In the last 14 years I've driven my car all over the southwest of the United States. I have only had to do minor repairs. I would highly recommend the Kia spectra. Since the car is fourteen years old, it is missing newer amenities, but it is comfortable and easy to drive.

My car is ok. My salesman was shiesty.
I bought it used in may 2017. No major issues except the air-conditioning stopped working bright after I bought it. And in Texas that is a no-no. It is okay. It's been reliable so far. I would have loved to own the Kia SUV but couldn't find one used in my price range.

This Kia just keeps on keeping on.
I really haven't had any problems out of my Kia. It is great on gas mileage like 30 mpg and it was really not very expensive for the quality I got. I have all the regular pervs u get when buying a car just not the price. It is comfortable to travel in and looks good going down the road. The trunk is very spacious. I think the best quality is its durability. This car just keeps on keeping on. My least favorite is the color I will choose a darker color next time. And yes it'll be a Kia!

Blue ferrari. It is blue and has four doors and four tires and six windows too.
Good on gas not so comfortable. Carpet molds when gets wet doors do not seal very well. But reliable to get to work and back. Color not to fond of it is that bright blue with some white flames on it not a great color I guess didn't buy new it was used great for new drivers.

My vehicle is all white and has a grey interior.
I have no problems with my car at all. It is a regular 5 seat car and it only takes $20 to fill up the tank which you can go a great distance on. It's a perfect girly car. It is small but not way too small so it's easy to drive and handle if you are just learning how to drive. I get a regular check up on my engine and brakes so they are not a issue either. As long as you take care of the car, it will run smoothly for years.
accountCircle Stephanie C on May 22, 2019
To keep it smooth, get an alignment or checked every 4 years.
My Kia spectra five hatchback was a smooth, quiet ride. The sunroof opens quietly with on push of a button. The problems come around year 9, with a mistake of taking it to a mechanic who stripped the oil cap. Now it leaks oil and the engine light is always on. The factory speakers had to be replaced by year 7 of ownership. Overall the Kia stands the test and mistakes of time.

My car is a 2005 Kia spectra ex - sedan it is blue 4 door and 2 wheel drive.

It is very reliable and durable. I have been rear ended twice and no damage.
The vehicle drives great, very durable and gets great gas mileage. I have had it for 8 years now and only two major problems with it. Great interiors with comfort seats and a great sound system. The downside is no cruise control.

For the price It's been a great little car.
I like that it is small and gets decent gas mileage. As the car has aged the paint on one side is starting to peel bad and has slowed down in speediness.

It sounds like a sports car, I love my sunroof, big trunk space, and cup holders
Seats are very comfortable and I'm very happy they are not leather due to the summer sun. Didn't get it in that much well condition from the last owners so needs a couple of fixing. Such as the a/c, new tires, new radiator, tire change, oil change, window switch change, windows tint, and new paint job. Love my sunroof opening and love my brightness control.

Sweet little ride of mine.
This little Kia is a sporty looking car that I averaged 33 miles a gallon highway, it rides really nice, drives smooth, good acceleration, really great little car, I drive it a hundred miles a day to work and back, 5 days a week sometimes 6 and I have never had a problem with it.

This is a good, reliable car for getting here and there and a comfortable ride.
I like that for a small car, my vehicle does not feel super low to the ground and is still a smooth ride. Though the body still has a lot of miles, I have not had to do any major repairs besides some maintenance work. There is not much that I do not like about my vehicle besides age related wear and tear that is to be expected like paint wearing down.

Dependable, well made, BUY Kia when you can!
It has been extremely reliable! It does have a skippy transmission and has since about 2009. I would buy a Kia in a second because of this dependable spectra, except I like not having a car note. We are very hard on vehicles and it's been perfect for 15 years

Spec ops spectra for life.
It has been one of the most reliable cars I have ever own. Starts up every time, and never skips a beat. An absolute pleasure to drive and great commuter vehicle. I would honestly consider buying a new one, if only they were still being made. But anyways I would whole heartily recommend this car to anyone.

The body is beat up but it runs as good as the day I bought it.
