CONSUMER RATINGS & REVIEWS
What real people are saying about the
2009 Kia Spectra EX
4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl 4A)
Review: "Our son crashed the family Ford Explorer. Used cars were high-priced. We decided to buy a Kia Spectra EX four-door sedan for about $1,500 more than it would have cost to get a 2005 used Explorer... Great gas mileage (averages over 28 mpg in mixed driving), peppy pick up, smooth ride, plenty of cupholders. The car came loaded with options — AC, automatic headlights, extra 12-volt chargers and even an iPod port. Safety ratings on this car rival those of Toyota and Honda and exceed those of the Ford Focus. All for about $14,000 including delivery, tax and license fees. I love it!"
Favorite Features: "The automatic lights are great — the battery doesn't die if you forget to turn off the headlights. I also really enjoy the smooth ride and quick acceleration onto the highway. Since I commute 30 miles each way, I also appreciate the comfortable and readily adjustable seats."
Suggested Improvements: "I'd like antilock brakes standard. But there are many pros and cons in this area, with lots of experts saying you have more control without ABS. So only time will tell."
