Review: 2005 Kia Spectra 5

Go to MYRIDE.COM for more car videos.
Equipped with snazzy alloy wheels, spoilers front and rear, a blacked-out mesh grille, and standard fog lights, the 2005 Spectra5 draws interest, and particularly among the youthful buyers that Kia seeks. Add to this an impressive load of standard features, a truly fun-to-drive character, quality fit and finish, and one of the best warranties in the business, and the car is undeniably appealing.

I don't like that car, I love it. IT's one of the easiest cars in the world to drive, and very fun to drive too.

I have a 2006 kia spectra5 Hatchback. has 47k miles and runs like a champ. got it for a steal for 4700 bucks. I like it and gets great mpg. Replaced all my speakers and deck and can't wait to add tint, rims, and a subwoofer. If your looking to purchase this car do it, its fun, easy and roomy. This is my first car im 17 and it might be my last lol.

My Spectra5 2005 has 136,000 miles, bought it brand new and I keep good maintenance on it and even added HID headlights recently, tire wear is about new tires every 60,000, and I have not had any problems at all, My sister has the 2002 Spectra and she has not had any major repairs other than maintenance. Ill deff keep this car for a long long time!!!!!

This is my first import and Im very impressed and so much bang for your money I got mine at year end close out fully loaded for $13,000 OTD! Now wish they made a truck I would buy that too!

These actually turned out to be very reliable cars. Kia has impressed me so much in recent years. I have family members who drive Kias and they love them. I might actually consider getting one for my next car.

@JCtheCheck, well 125hp at the wheels is better than 32hp at the wheels. My old Ford Aspire, had 64hp stock, so i guess that puts the 32hp at the wheels and 64hp at the crank. And thats BEFORE i put an aftermarket intake, exhaust, and performance spark plugs on the car and had a ignition timing adjustment done; Not to mention a $300 tune up with the intake manifold being port and polished.

@TheNopiracer Sorry, bud, but all the horspower figures the car manufactures give you are "at the crank", not "at the wheels". If you were to take the car to a dyno, at the wheels would be a little lower, probably about 125 i'm guessing.
