  Kia vs Honda - 2004 Kia Spectra
  By DCH60 - July 22 - 10:00 am

  Many more features vs the Honda Civic. Im a Honda owner (2003 V6 Accord), but the civics features vs the Spectra came up way short. And the warranty doesnt come close.

  Cars!!Cars!!Everywhere, Cars!!! - 2004 Kia Spectra
  By Junior - July 3 - 7:50 am

  I love my spectra. Im 61 and fit in it perfectly. My friends range from 6 to 65 and fit in the back seats perfectly. There is a little dash rattle, but my music is normally high enough to where I dont recognize it. This is one of my first cars and I love it more than all of the others.

  Dont trust their warranty - 2004 Kia Spectra
  By suckered - April 7 - 11:40 pm

  They have two maintenance schedules. No one tells you that you are under the severe schedule until you need the warranty. Transmission failed at 38K. Kia wont cover because we didnt have the transmission fluid changed at 30K per the severe schedule. Normal schedule says look at fluid and replace if needed all the way to 105K. No customer support! No dealership support! A private transmission repair shop states that the fluid is fine & that the failure is due to part failure. Kia doesnt rebuild transmissions, they replace the whole thing and keep many in stock just for this reason. I think Kia is trying to avoid a recall. Wish superman would come to our rescue.

  What a Great Engine - 2004 Kia Spectra
  By Kia is the Best - February 1 - 10:00 am

  This car has everything a person wants. especially the EX trim. Before considering a Honda, Toyota, or just any car, check out your Kia dealer because youll get the best rebates and best service. This car has SIX AIRBAGS!!! can you believe it? Better than just any car in this planet. I love my new Kia. Kia is the Best!!!

  Lots of kit for less dollars - 2004 Kia Spectra
  By Good value - November 3 - 10:00 am

  havent had my Spectra long but Im satisfied with it. The engine provides reasonable power but the automatic transmission could shift smoother. Good cabin materials and nice exterior. Some might have trouble finding a fully loaded model however.
