When I first purchased the car I noticed it would be a very good starter car for anyone. It is not that outdated and I have always had good connotation towards Kia. I prefer brands of cars that are not domestically made, as they are typically made way better. Here in the US we like to use loopholes and try to get the highest profit with sometimes not looking at the quality. The Kia Spectra I have is very durable, and is kind of sporty in a way. I mainly enjoy it for its gas mileage and efficiency. I can fill my tank up one day of the week and ride on it all week doing about 30 miles a day from my house to downtown doing a roundtrip. I really enjoy its size, especially since its a 4-cylinder but also because it's not as bulky as a full size sedan. It's small but it's not too small and i... (more)
Story
Even when going full speed, and the lights changed from green to yellow then red, this car stopped right on the dime.
Pros
Some pros about this vehicle is that I do appreciate that it is carpeted. Especially where I live since we experience all four seasons to its full potential, so therefore it is always warm inside and not too cold in the winter. It makes it more comfortable and just having a carpeted interior is just on of my preferences. This is my first vehicle and I have come to realize that it is perfect for me. It's size is enough for me to handle, and I save a lot of money by having this car. Especially on repairs and tires because its almost ten years old but also, having a smaller car means you don'...

Cons
Some of the cons would be performance as sometimes when you want to speed up real fast it takes a moment to catch up and the RPM gauge goes up quick when pressing on the gas pedal. Another issue I noticed is when the air conditioning is on, you lose performance as well, so I tend to have to turn the air conditioning off when maybe going up a slight hill or something as it takes a moment for the transmission to switch gears and catch up with the increased speed. I also don't like how much gas is used when using the air conditioning on. I could fill up my tank one day of the week and not hav... (more)

I've thoroughly enjoyed owning my little Kia Spectra for the last year or so. We had a bit of a scuffle with the radiator recently -- cost me a good chunk of change to replace when my mechanic discover it had cracked -- but it's been reliable and dependable. Right now, my car makes me the happiest when it warms up on these cold autumn mornings. And it warms up now because I got the radiator replaced.
Story
I knew I had to get my tires replaced when I was trying to drive up the second hill in my apartment complex's parking lot, and my car simply didn't have the gusto to make it up this tiny incline. It was further cemented for me when I was driving some friends to a sushi place the next night, in the middle of a snowstorm, and I was driving as carefully as I possibly could. I was coming up to a r... (more)
Pros
This car has comfortable seats. My back seat passengers aren't miserable on the few occasions that there are any to ride back there. I don't feel like my car is struggling to move on the freeway. It gets fairly decent gas mileage. It gets me to my destination when I go on long trips. This car was totally worth the purchase.
Cons
I have noticed a couple drawbacks. Namely the CD player. The radio is fine, the auxiliary cable works fine, but sometimes when you put in a CD and turn off the car, when you start it again, the car thinks there is no CD in the player. You have two options at this point. You can try to poke your finger into the slot and kind of push the CD itself, and maybe the system will notice it. Or you disconnect the electricity in your car and reset your whole system. Or do what I've done for the last eight months and just forget about it. Also, I have to turn the bass way down because the speakers ra... (more)
