2007 Kia Spectra

The 2007 Kia Spectra marks a few changes from its predecessors. The front and rear styling have been altered somewhat giving the 2007 models a look distinct from the Spectras of previous years.

The car sports a 2.0L four cylinder engine, and is rated at 138hp. The car retains many of the features that have made the Spectra popular with consumers in previous years.

The 2007 Kia Spectra still gets good gas mileage, provides a smooth and comfortable ride, and is deceptively large in the interior. Engineers work very hard on these compact cars to make sure there is as much room inside the cabin as possible, and there is plenty of leg and headroom in this car.

The Spectra is available with either an automatic or a manual transmission. There are a variety of other options, and customers also have the option of upgrading to the sportier SX version of the car.

2005 Kia Spectra

The 2005 Kia Spectra was the second of two compact cars offered by that company in the year 2005. The other was the Rio. The Spectra’s primary selling point is the fact that it does fit into a compact car category.

Compact car sales are continuously on the rise as people take into consideration fuel mileage and efficiency. Rising costs of gas have definitely lead people to be more inclined to purchase small cars such as these, especially when the predications about where gas costs are going to rise in the foreseeable future.

The 2005 Kia Spectra is also a very affordable car, even when compared with others of its class. These two factors combine to make it one of the cheaper cars available in the United States. The car was also available as the Spectra 5, which was a four door hatchback version.
