2001 Kia Spectra GSX review from North America
"Great value for the money, but get the top model"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The rear wiper arm needed replacement.
The front right sealed turn signal needed replacement due to moisture.
Check engine light came on once due to loose gas cap.
Rear ground effect spoiler was replaced.
General comments?
Seat covers are of poor quality and the sun visors are starting to peel around the mirrors edges.
Great Gas mileage.
Great stereo CD and speaker system.
Rides great on the Highway, especially at 110 mph. Only tried that once.
Poor acceleration thought.
Five doors fast back is the way to go.
