2005 Kia Spectra 5 review from North America
"I bought it over the mazda 3, VW Jetta, Toyota/Pontiac Matrix/vibe"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing wrong yet.
General comments?
Sporty Feel.
Lots of Hwy and City Power.
Very Agile thru the turns.
Drivers seat is a little hard to find a comfortable position for taller drivers.
5th is a little too far of a throw for a taller driver.
Paint is unusually soft, but easy to buff out scratches.
Havn't gotten close to the listed MPG, sitting at 24mpg combined.
Reverse is a bit hard to find.
