2007 Kia Spectra consumer reviews

Well I saw an ad for 0%, $1000 off dealer invoice and had to check it out. I bought the car. The EX has lots of extras and is as quiet as much more expensive cars. It has adequate power, rides very well and it has very predictable handling. Current mileage (600miles) is 33 combined city/highway. The car is lower to the ground so I slide in and out but once in, it is a very comfortable and accessible environment. The driver seat has a ratcheting style control and can move to almost any position you like. The tires have electronic pressure sensors so the car tells you if an inflation problem! The automatic is smooth and gets better gas mileage than the straight stick. The rear seat is split but you have to access the trunk to unlock, then enter the back doors to lower the seats (not really a hastle - just odd) It is sooooo quiet you can actually enjoy the quality standard cd/stereo radio. No rattles or clunking that I can detect. Lots of cup holders and storage is adequate. I like the car and I think most people will if they give it a try. Older buyers may not like the lower profile. A Corolla for instance would be easier to get in/out of. The low price and amazing warranty convinced me. Care free, inexpensive driving sounds like a winnner to me!! The reviews I read are very good.

I just purchased my spectra lx about 2 weeks ago.It has the manual transmission. The car gets very good gas mileage and has fantastic performance.Interior space is good and everything is easy to get to.The center console could be moved up further as it is difficult to access in its present location. All gauges are easy to read and it handles great.The fold down rear seats are a big advantage when hauling groceries. I think tire pressure monitoring system is very good and the side airbags are a big advantage in an accident. The stereo system sounds super with the six speakers and the equalizer makes the difference on the depth of sound.The styling is beautiful and the bigger windows really help especially in traffic. Handling is good with the 15 inch wheels and the independent suspension really works in cornering. All in all the Spectra is a great car for the money and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a good economical car with great style!
