It Is A Good All Around Car. — I love our car! I would say it is no sports car. It is a great family car or daily driver with pretty good gas mileage, depending of course on how you drive it. I think this car is more for a younger generation, because it is a fun car to drive! Primary Use: Family transportation

Okay These Are My Facts — Quick Responsive, Needs more power, handles like no other car i have had in the past. Brakings is decent.Car only had one problem was that an engine hose blew, Due to a forced air intake I installed. Gas milage is decent at best, I get 20-25 not bad but its also only a 4cyl. I would rate this car a 6/10 on the fun factor if upgrades were avaliable for this car i would vote it a 10/10. Primary Use: Family transportation | ||

ProsGreat on gas. The fabric cleans up easily, so my kids couldn't leave their mark on this one. More than you think fits in the trunk. And the auxiliary plug for an iPhone or iPod was my favorite feature. ConsNo key less entry or automatic windows.

Low Maintenance — Overall this car is extremely low maintenance and the fuel economy it has is refreshing when facing these gas prices. Great car for commuting near or far. Perfect for a small family or single person. Nothing out of the ordinary needed fixing, so we weren't surprised by anything unnecessarily. Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

Great Ride For The Money — Fun to drive sleak look. But its a v4, added a couple of performance upgrades goes around 156hp atm which isnt bad. Storage is no problem with this car. I get 25mpg. Brakes go pretty quick on this car. The handling is great on this due to its an SX which the car has a lowered spring kit bringing it lower to the ground making handling sharper. Interior is great looking for awhile then starts getting dull. Going to do a color scheme to it soon. I love this car just wish it had a bigger engine Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

Kia Is Deece. — really loud acceleration, anything past 2nd gear is way slow. kind of expensive to fix. the paint seems to be low quality, chips and scratches easily. cruise control is not mandatory. I like the trunk opener on the keychain and the location of the buttons in the car. would be pretty sweet if it wasnt such a dog on the road. Primary Use: Family transportation | ||

2008 Kia Spectra5 — we traded 2006 4x4 Suzuki Grand Vitara for that one, reason - fuel economy & to cut on car payments and we pretty happy with that little car. For me its like little sporty european car. I was surprised overall about Kia products - they getting better. After thinking to buy Kia Rio we actually stopped on Spectra5. | ||
