2005 Kia Spectra Reviews, Pricing & Specs

I love this car. It has never been anything but reliable. We have not had a problem with it at all. Everything works great.

Never thought I'd own a Kia. Has been a great little car so far with amazing mileage, ok power and great build quality. Never going to be a corner carver but it handles respectably for a car in it's class. Would buy one again in a heartbeat! Maybe step up to a Magentis or something.

its really good on gas and its perfect for a family good for commuting for a job and really spacey to store things in a really good investment i like how it handles in the snow i love the features it has

The car's performance is not fantastic even with aftermarket intake and exhaust systems, but it does its job. It's a really solid car that has taken me all over the east coast of the US and has never complained. The main issue I've had as far as repairs is that the brakes burn up really quick and I've had the rotors go warped on me several times, but I think it's more my fault than it is the car's because I drive very aggressively. The styling of the interior and exterior are both my own, and I've come to love the way my car looks especially with the mods i've done to it. Its extremely good on gas and the parts and repairs for it have always been cheap - as long as you keep up on them (but that's with any car.) I am happy every time i have to drive somewhere and always offer to drive my friends around because the car is roomy enough and is reliable and my sound system (though thats all personal, has nothing to do with Kia) sounds great. Love the car. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a decent priced, reliable car that you can have fun with.

The car is a 5 speed and is very quick. The seats are pretty comfortable, and the car handels very well.

Probably has the biggest interior space in its category. The features are normal but everything works well and very functional. Safety rating is also more than decent for at its price point. Handling of the car is brilliant. This is car is a practical point to point car and makes a decent cruiser.

Front wheel drive, which sucked. Braked very well. Very spacious, had a infant seat belt for car seats. It got up and went pretty good but nothing fancy. Build was ok. Cost was great for when we bought it. It was def a fun car to drive.

The Kia Spectra was a ruggedly built, reliable, low maintenance car with versatile cab and truck space, a fairly quite ride, and smooth feeling transmission. Its completely lacking in horsepower and handling, but it got people from point "A" to point "B" with safe, dry, and comfortable with little fuss one its own behalf. Also, its was fairly inexpensive.

body kit breaks and crumbles easily if hit (15-20 mph), very reliable otherwise. great on gas, never had transmission problems. does NOT accelerate well at all. lots of passenger space, nice clean interior look. just not the dream car look.

Car runs good, handles great in the snow and ice, it is very sluggish on get up and go, the cost is way to much, and to me it's a fun car to drive, if you like Kia's get one.
