i bought a 2004 spectra this year and i love this car. it came with everything for a great price..you all should buy one!!!!!!

Pros

Outstanding value, comfortable, quiet, nice looking, smooth, responsive

Cons

fuel economy

This vehicle is a great value. Kia gives you a great warranty. The vehicle handles well, feels solid. The price well below the competition especially with the incentives. The only thing I don't like about it is the fuel economy which is not terrible but also not impressive for the type of vehicle....read morehide

We recently bought the 2004 1/2 Kia Spectra LX and we are very happy with it. It is very comfortable to both drive and ride in. I taught my fiance to drive in it. The six way adjustable seats are great! My fiance is 6 inches shorter than I am and has had difficulty reaching the pedals even with the seat all the way forward in other cars but the adjustability of the Kia seats made it so she could reach the pedals and be able to see where she is going. We are very satisfied with our Kia and we don't see getting rid of it anytime soon....read morehide

I love my Kia! Bought new 1 month ago.Is a smooth ride and is very roomy as I am 6' 1" 220 LBS. Was skeptical at first of small cars but the Kia is more then enough room! I live in Alaska and it snows a little everyday most folks here use studded tires.I drive around with the All Weather Tires that come standard with the car with no problem. Great Gas Milage too I use it every day but fill up once every 2-weeks! Less than $24.00 on fill up! Comes with CD Changer AM FM Radio with 6 Speakers, Power Windows,Heated Mirrors and back Window.I was treated with the up most priorty and respect and Buying a car has never been so enjoyable. The DEALERSHIP WENT OUT OF THEIR WAY TO SELL ME THE CAR! I had less then good credit and the sticker price was $15,125.00 and I talked them down to $12,025.00 with no down payment! Got the color I wanted and I drove away with a smile on my face!...read morehide

I live in Tampa, Fl. I went to 10 different dealership. I was treated with respect and I got the deal of a lifetime.
I love my Kia Spectra even though I just got it today. but it rides nice as well as can't really feel the speeding bumps as much. Lots of room the best part that I love the most is it's got Six Airbags, included int he price plus a am/fm cd player which is standard with the car. I talked them down from 14000.00 to 11000.00 cash buy and I have the title to my NEW CAR....read morehide

I have no problems with my new Spectra with the 2 ltr. engine. Its great on gas and rides great. What more do you want for the low low price? I love mine.

At first i thought a car that inexpensive would not have what i wanted or would drive like a cheap car, all i can say is i was wrong!

These comments do not refer to the 2004 model. I have the old '96 Sephia version. It's a bucket of bolts. It's loud, clanky, & not much to look at. However, my Mighty Kia has over 100K miles & has never been in the shop once except for a 90K tune up. I change the fluids religiously & that's all required. Economically speaking, you can't go wrong with one of these....read morehide

I own a 2003 Toyota Corolla and the new Spectra, and the thing is the Spectra is a bit better than the Corolla(performance). It feels more solid and have better acceleration, and the ride is Ok. The only problem is the car's interior space and layout which is boring and feels cheap. I paid $16,750 for the Corolla and $14,250 for the Spectra, and I am happy with both of them!!!...read morehide
