2002 Kia Spectra GSX Hatchback Review
ProsCheap to buy and maintain ConsSmall, not much pickup.
55
Gas Saver, Nice Value Vehicle. — Its great on gas, and parts are cheap. I can do many repairs myself. For cheap, reliable, transportation nothing beats it. I'm glad I own it every time I go to the gas pump. The hatchback is great for moving stuff. It could never survive an accident, even at low speeds. Good value car.

Prosno problems with engine (after 5 years), comfortable to ride in Conslightweight, too close to dash board, and headlights are a bear to get at to change

2002 Kia Spectra — this is one dependable car, from my perspective. It has a 4 cylinder engine and has good braking and handling . Although the car is lightweight, so if it is windy outside, then you will notice some moving around. The appearance is decent, both inside and out. Not much maintenance needed except the routine oil change. I have 70,000 miles on it and it is still running good. The seating is comfortable, but wished the steering column was adjustable. | ||

Reliable Car. — This car is underestimated. It is reliable, efficient, and quick as well. I got a stick shift and I love driving this car. It has a sporty look as well and can fit four comfortably. Pieces are easy to find and not too expensive. Great car. Primary Use: Family transportation | ||

ProsFuel Mileage ConsTiny and cramped

Decent Daily Transport — Good acceleration for a four cylinder, Strong braking, tight steering but feels like it would roll over before sliding on pavement, a lot of rattling inside the cabin, Looks like every other compact on the road, great gas mileage, expensive parts compared to the MSRP of the car. Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||
