Overview & Reviews

The Spectra is new for 2000. Similar in size to the Sephia, Kia hopes the Spectra will attract younger buyers due to the versatile four-door hatchback design and sportier styling.

• Low base price, responsive steering.

• Lackluster performance, wallowy suspension, questionable build quality.

  Overall I have found this to be a good car. Bought in 2000 and 44,000 miles later no issues still looks brand new. I always get compliments on the sporty look that is has. Great car for the family just starting. Great warranty!

  Great Buy - 2000 Kia Spectra
  By Avian - October 31 - 10:00 am

  I have had this auto for almost two years now and have no complaints. I have driven it from Florida to Canada, and have been on numerous long trips and it has exceeded my expectations for a auto at this price.

  Was not sure about Kia when I first bought the car but 4 years later I am still satisfied. No major problems yet.
