For less than $10,000 you can get a car that you aren’t scared to park at the front of the parking lot and risk getting dings and door dents. Not only do you rack up miles on the odometer quickly the general wear and tear of driving a car every day can be tremendous. The Spectra is a good car, but it isn’t necessarily nice, which is a great quality to have in a commuter car.

On the highway, the Spectra can get up to 32mpg and it can get up to 24mpg in the city. The Kia Spectra also gets relatively good gas mileage, adding to the idea of using it as a commuter car. Owners brag about the low cost of repairing the Spectras, and most people claim that they haven’t had to do any major, expensive repairs as long as general maintenance schedules are followed. Maintenance for the Kia Spectra is simple, and because it doesn’t have as many complications as newer cars and some luxury brands, they can be worked on by almost any mechanics. They are known for the reliability and with just general maintenance can reportedly last over 200,000 miles.

#2004 KIA SPECTRA LX DRIVERS#

So to all of you that are thinking of buying a KIA please dont save your self the trouble and hardships. Hard lesson learned but on its way of be declared a lemon. I will never ever own another Kia in my life. The sure are willing to get you in to there POS but ain't willing to fix them. GREAT COMPANY HUH! They are the biggest POS that we have came across. And these are all thing Kia are refusing to fix.

side tire area, our radio changes stations when it feels like it, our rpms will drop to 0 when running at idle Gas door has gotten stuck plenty of times and wont release uless u stick something in it. Our O2 sensor went out at 15000 miles, it cuts out when we go in to 3rd gear. our passenger air bag light is constantly giving us trouble even after having it in for recall and 3 times after that. I think this car has been a real big pain in our butt, we have had this car in several times for our back brakes let me remind you the front are fine at this point in time we have 80%in front and 0-5% on the back and have not had brakes done yet.
