Is a Kia Spectra a good car for a first car? ?

Question

I am looking for a used car.

I found a Kia Spectra but know nothing about them. Are they good cars?

Would this be a good deal:

2004 Kia SpectraEX

59,000 miles

$7,495

Answer 1

Not at all.  I've known 2 people who have had these cars, and they have fallen apart.

Answer 2

My family owns that same car and model and love it. Right now it has over 90,000 miles on it and hasn't been in the shop once for a repair; only oil changes. It drives very nicely and is very compfortable. The deal you show is also great. If I were you I would go for it. Keep in mind that the person that responded before me may be reffering to the 2004 kia spectra. The one you are talking about is a 2004.5 which is the redisigned one. I know this because the 2004.5 is when the EX came out and you said you were looking at an EX. Some dealers still may reffer to it as a 2004 though.

Answer 3

I have a 2005 Spectra and LOVE it - I think that $7495 is WAY too much for a Sepctra that is 4 years old.  If it is a private seller offer $5k

From KBB -

Answer 4

do not buy a hyundai or kia

you will regret it later

Answer 5

Yes.

Kia was bad in the 90's and that earned them a bad reputation, but since 2003, they improved a lot and now they are great cars.

Less than $8,000 for a car that new with low mileage. That is a great deal.

Answer 6

never never never never never never never...buy a kia. They are horrible, and to prove it, they are sold cheap. Kia cars are sold cheap, thus, which means they are horrible. Also, about 7500 for a used kia is NOT a good deal. good luck!

Also, Huyandai's are same as kia's. Also horrible.
