Spectra5 vs. Protege5 and Mazda3

Date of Review:  Nov 11, 2005
The Bottom Line: Find the extra money for a Mazda3. The price difference isn't large, and you'll get a much better car.
Review: I still enjoy driving the Mazda Protege5 I bought two years ago every time I get in it. But eventually I'm going to want something new, and the Protege5 was replaced by the more upscale Mazda3 soon after I bought my car.

Halfway through...

Kia Spectra Sedan vs. Hyundai Elantra

Date of Review:  Jan 27, 2007
The Bottom Line: I recommend this vehicle. Overall good dependable vehicle for lower price. Style is better than older Spectra models. Excellent warranty!
Review: In August 2006 I bought a 2006 Hyundai Elantra and my mother bought a 2006 Kia Spectra EX. Since both cars were made in Korea by virtually the same company, I thought this would be a great way to compare both vehicles. I drove the Kia for...

Nice Try But...

Date of Review:  Nov 13, 2005
The Bottom Line: If you're looking for a cheap hauler and considering a Scion xB, look at this also
Review: Earlier this year, I was in the market for a small car. I live in NYC, where parking is usually difficult, and gas prices high, so I thought that an economy car which had a fair amount of carrying space would be ideal.

In that regard, I...

Kia Value and Quality Ever Present in this Capable Compact Car

Date of Review:  Apr 18, 2006
The Bottom Line: Great car for the money. There is alot of competition in this segment and Kia does a respectable job with the Spectra SX package.
Review: I was looking for a front-or-four/all-wheel drive car for commuting 68 miles per day, 5 days per week. I needed to have a back seat with some room and a trunk that would fit my golf clubs. I wanted something a little sporty so it was some fun to...

Spectra5

Date of Review:  Dec 6, 2005
The Bottom Line: Cheap, cool, very functional, fairly sporty, and has no glaring faults. A good buy.
Review: What I was buyin'

I was looking for a sporty car that I could still lug my kid around in. Something that the snooty yuppies like myself would approve of. I had been looking for a year-old Mazda3 or Mazda6 with a manual tranny for over a...

Amazing Quality, Driver Protection, Comfort and Pep in this Affordable Ride From Kia.

Date of Review:  Apr 20, 2007
The Bottom Line: The Kia Spectra is a Great Sporty Car with Style, Pep and the greatest safety cage structure that is not built into most small cars these days.
Review: I bought my 2006 Kia Spectra used. I had previously owned a Kia Sportage the first year they came out in the united states in 1996. The engine blew up in less than 5000 miles, so it was a hard sell to get me to look at a Kia again. At that time, the...

A good economy car at a good price.

Date of Review:  Nov 7, 2006
The Bottom Line: This is a good budget car, if your low on funds but want new, this is a good practical choice.
Review: When our POS Dodge Caravan died, we needed a car and quick.
We could not afford nor wanted another van and gas is expensive now so we started to look at small cars, 4 door compacts, specifically.We also did not want a used car, neither.

Without question, best car I have ever owned.

Date of Review:  Jan 10, 2007
Review: I wanted a reliable, safe car with a lot of features. I first looked at the Honda Civic but was unimpressed with the limited features and cheap workmanship (the weld marks for instance and plastic look). I also did not like the fact that they are so...
