2005 Kia Spectra LX review from North America
"This is the worst car I ever had!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The check engine light comes on repeatly
The starter and battery both went out not long after I had it.
The Heater Coil went out.
The air conditioner quit working one month after I bought it.
Stalls randomly for no reason.
General comments?
Would never buy another one the only reason they give you the warranty is because it falls apart the day you drive it off the lot. It has been to the shop 36 times since I bought it new in 2005.
