2006 Kia Spectra review from North America
"Reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Light colored seats show the littlest bit of dirt. The fabric seems to attract it.
General comments?
This car is very reliable and a smooth ride. The back seat is bigger than it looks. Three little ones easily sit in the back. A spectra is also great on gas although it doesn't have much power to it. So if you're looking to pass someone make sure you have plenty of distance. Otherwise except for that and the seats being slightly uncomfortable on a long ride, it's a great little car. Oh, and fyi my husband is 6'3" and can drive it comfortably!
