Looked at several other similar cars including Elantra and Focus but Spectra drove and felt better. The price was lower and the dealer was much better to deal with. KIA offers the best warranty and the car is well enough equiped that there are only a few options.
Worth The Price

I bought this car new 1-1/2 years ago. 5 speed manual transmission, AC, Rear Wiper, CD Player. I've never had any problems. I did get the letter about the cracked ORVR Valve problem, and had my deler replace it. I'm getting good gas mileage (25 city/35 hwy). Tires could be better, but I really haven't had much trouble driving in snow (Wisconsin) or rain. My Spectra is comfortable and fun to drive. A reliable car for the price.

I have had no problems with window seals or handling with my Kia GSX it took a while to get what I wanted and I still was not able to get the ABS that I wanted.My Kia looks sharp and gets good mileage. I also have lots of room in the trunk which is a major plus. I also like the warranty that comes with it! Thank you Kia!

I bought this car w/ 49000 and now have 100000. I have had two wrecks with it and it looks terrible from the outside but I dont care since im a poor college kid. I love the fact that it has no auto locks, auto transmission, or power windows bc ALL of those features eventually go out so that was a plus for me. Of course great on gas, little to no maintenance, and great leg room being that I am 6'5". I have slept in it on numerous occasions on vacations with the seats folded down and is doable. At 98,000 my fuel pump went out and it cost me about $100 for me to replace myself. Timing belt lasted until 98,000 until i replaced it myself-$40. Fuel pump got clogged very early-$15
Fun, Fun, Fun...

Car is fun, sporty, and affordable. With 17" aftermarket wheels, no one knows I spent as little as I did for a sharp looking and very reliable vehicle. Does the warranty get any better?
