On initial acquiring of the Kia Spectra, I was pretty impressed. It handles very well and is really good on gas. It was a very nice looking car, too. After about a year of having the car, it began to have major system problems- namely the transmission began to go out. It was one thing after another after the transmission. On the other hand, the safety of the car in an accident is pretty impressive. It is not easy to get fixed and the parts are hard to replace. Definitely not something to get for your teenager or an irresponsible adult. It is not built for high usage or mileage. Not good for traveling either and having more than 4 people in the car puts a great strain on the car.

Review of Kia
Advantages: Easy to fix, loads of space and pleasant to drive. Disadvantages: Prone to rust, needing to shop around for parts and it looks funny as a van.
