2003 Kia Spectra Base review from North America
"A great little car at a great price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing.
Just lose the cheap tires!
Also a better shifting automatic transmission.
Still, Overall happy with my purchase.
General comments?
I just had the oil changed and this car is wonderful!
This car would be awesome with a 2.5L V6 with rear wheel drive.
A/C works great!
CD Player sounds good for stock.
Pick up is good for the 1.8L engine.
A/C does not rob all the engine power.
I love the styling / looks of the car.
My color is Evergreen.
