2004 Kia Spectra User Reviews

Pros

Very good fuel milage, and runs very good

Cons

Looses value very quickly

I have had the car for about a year now and I haven't had any problems with it. But if you are ever looking to trade it in, yeah the trade in value of mine 2004 with less than 10,000 miles on it is between 5,000 and 6,000 even in perfect condition. But it is very good on gas and I haven't had to get any work done on it....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

This car is selling in the name of SHUMA II in Turkey...with 1.6 engine.... and by mistake I bougt it. The car has no pover.. can not move well spending fuel too much like drinking... if I find a stupid like I am I will sell immediatelly.. !!!

I have owned a Kia in the past and I know they are a heck of a lot better now then they were in the past. I just totaled mine and all that was wrong with me was a burn on my elbow from the air bag. I am going to get another Kia!!

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.

I have a kia optima 2001, I bought it with 7007 miles on it. It is a piece of JUNK with all caps. It has been in the shop at least 19 times. If you want a good car, please buy a Toyota!!!!

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!

I have purchased a few KIA's in the last 4 years....That being said I am normally very happy with them...But this new Spectra has a terrible noise that begins around 70 mph and just gets worse the faster you go. It sounds like you are blowing over the top of a coke bottle (that humming noise) and it reverberates throughout the interior and just gets louder and louder...I have taken it back to the dealer twice now and all they have done is adjusted the driver side door. Now the noise comes at about 80 mph, but it is just as loud and bothersome...I would not recommned this car unless you test drive it first up to 90 mph for a few miles......read morehide

This is a great vehicle. I just bought one of the new 2004 models and it has been very good to me. It is very quiet and roomy for the size of vehicle. I looked at several other comparable cars and the Spectra is my choice. The fuel economy is also great. I give it 5 stars.
