Good PEP for a 4 cylinder. Exceptional handling around curves. Gas mileage isn't the greatest (31 MPG combined City/Hwy).

What a car

This car has a lot of pep and driving a 5 speed is great. Front has plenty of room and everything is easy to get to. Drove 110 miles before the gas gauge moved off full.

The car has good gas mileage and average reliability for a car of this class. The quality is average to mid-low, except in the safety department where the car is excellent.

Cute car, good gas mileage, fun. I really love this car, the basic features are great! We bought 2 of them at once. The Spectra would've gotten 10's all the way down if they wouldn't have charged us six-thousand over market value each.

I traded in my Ford Ranger for a smaller sedan-type car and was so surprised by the quality offered in my Spectra. I have owned it now for 2 years and never had one bit of trouble. It is beautiful and I laugh at how many people mistake it for a BMW when I first drive up! Side by side, they are very similar in looks! Dealership is awesome and I feel like I have joined the Kia family for life!!
