2003 Kia Spectra GSX review from North America
"Great car for the price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car has performed flawless so far. It still looks and drives like new and it seems as it it will last the duration of the warranty. My only complaint so far is that the carpet is a little too cheap and showing signs of aging.
General comments?
It isn't the most refined vehicle, but it is also one of the lowest priced vehicles on the market.
While not quick off the line, it is easy to catch yourself speeding once going.
Very comfortable and fun to drive car.
The city mpg could be better.
Easily seats 3 adults and a car seat for the 8 month old.
The trunk easily swallows the stroller, my golf clubs, and groceries.
