Great so far - 2004 Kia Spectra
By snbcdad - February 7 - 9:56 amI bought this car used to replace my 12 year old Altima. Its much smaller outside, but just as comfy and more rear seat legroom (Im 511"). Feels solid, peppy on take off, VERY respectable trunk size for its class, and cheap to buy. Gas mileage started out low (25.5 in mixed driving), but has steadily improved with warmer weather (31.6 in mixed driving). Not up to par with the Corolla for gas mileage, but rivals it everywhere else. Very happy with my purchase. Safety features were a sell along with price. Also, the outside styling is very nice.

Great Car - 2004 Kia Spectra
By Happy Kia Owner 2 - February 24 - 10:00 amSo far this has been a great car! The redesigned Kia Spectra is built solid, and the new motor is much better then the old 1.8. Its quiet, and gets great gas mileage. The inside is quite roomy front and back. Adults actually can be comfortable in the back!

2004 Kia - 2004 Kia Spectra
By Mack - November 15 - 4:50 amExcellent Vehicle!! I only had to buy new tires and perform the regular maintenance for this vehicles since I purchased it. Not a problem with it. If you take care of this vehicle, it will take care of you. Many people do not take care of their cars and expect them to last a long time. I tell you what, I am keeping my KIA and if I need to buy another vehicle, it will be a KIA! It is cheaper, I have all the toys and it rides great!

GREAT VALUE - GREAT CAR - 2004 Kia Spectra
By JACK IN TACOMA - November 11 - 9:33 pmDrove off the lot with a brand new 2005 Spectra LX, 5 speed - paying only $9450. What a deal !! The car drives great. The comfort and quality is on par with Toyota. My friends say "you bought a Kia" BUT when I show them the car, take them for a ride, and then tell them the selling price, they simply cant believe it. Everyone who sees the car is shocked by the quality, craftsmanship and the BANG for the BUCK.
