Overall:

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.

Pros: fuel economy, sporty look, perfomance, roomy

Cons: seats are not that comfy

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

Pros: Great 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.

Cons: No key less entry or automatic windows.

overall not a bad car at all. I love the exterior look of it. Mine was pre-owned silver sedan with a spoiler on it. It was quite reliable and interior was simple and nice as well. it gave a good ride and was easy to drive. I loved everything about it.
