I like the car, although it fails to have enough leg room for medium to tall height drivers. It has a slow start-up speed but once it gets past about 30 it's smooth sailing. For an economy car, it's overall good.

I love my kia. A lot of people don't give enough respect to the kia's but I'll tell you this much, when the gas prices rose I wasn't bothered by it. The spectra has to be one of the most comfortable sedans ever made.

so far at 3000 miles my spectra is on par with the 91 corolla i bought new then traded for the 05 kia. it has more power than i expected and highway manners are better than the 05 corolla i almost paid 2500.00 more for with less features than spectra. mpg hiway is now up to 36.8 i am looking for 38.5 @70 mph. great warranty on this car worth looking at seriously............
