Used 2002 Kia Spectra GSX 4dr Hatchback (1.8L 4cyl 5M) Consumer Reviews
GSX rules
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!

Not a Bad Econobox
not bad at all for the price. Haven't had any major problems or any mechanical problems with the car. I drive a lot, and i mean a lot. pushing 30000 in just 6 months of driving. However, i have had a lot of minor annoyances with the car. Such as the stereo didn't match the Sticker, the Back seat doesn't latch correctly, the Truck Release is flaky at best. Overall Though its a good deal for the money.
Possible Problems
Problamtaic Car. I have had nothing but problems with this car. Had all 4 door sensors replace, throttle plate replaced, ORGR valve recall, seat belt unlatches, transmission problems they cant seam to fix, rear hatch seal wont stay on, cheap interior materials, already show wear, rear hatch never opens with release. Overall needed a inexpensive reliable car, and although it has never left me stranded, will NEVER buy a kia again, or from the dealership (taylor kia) in toledo.
Poor sound system
If it's sound that you want and you want a CD/Cassette combination, forget it. Kia offers CD only or Cassette only. Personally, facing such limited options I chose the cassette and ditched the CD. I can make compilation tapes of my favorite CD's and play them in the car. I do not want to buy two copies of my favorite CD's to avoid toting them back and forth between the house and car. And the sound quality in a car they tout as bordering on luxury is marginal at best. There's also plenty of storage space for cassette tapes but absolutely nothing for CD's. Whever the rocket scientist is who made this brilliant decision in options left his brain at home that day.
