CarGurus Overview

The early 2004 Kia Spectra LS is a holdover from 2003, a front-wheel drive economy sedan that seats four and features a 10.4 cubic foot trunk with split-folding rear seats.  The LS is powered by a 1.8-liter, 124-hp DOHC I4 and standard 5-speed manual.  A 4-speed auto tran is optional.  It sits on 14-inch wheels and gets around 22/32 mpg, making it a cheap buy for a first-time commuter car.  The 2004 Spectra LS will be replaced midyear by the EX.

Standard equipment upgrades the base model by adding air conditioning, full power features, foglights and lighted entry to the already existing intermittent wipers, CD player, and rear defrost.  A tachometer is also added to the dash display.  Dual front airbags are standard, but ABS brakes cost extra on the 2004 Spectra LS (and are not offered on the base model).  A CD changer and leather trim are some other options.  Owners say the LS is roomy and comfortable, and they like the styling and standard features for such a low price.  Sluggish acceleration and some poor quality materials represent the downsides of the 2004 Kia Spectra LS.

This overview covers the LS trim only.
