2006 Kia Spectra

Super great car when owned by a responsible owner. This car will literally last for 10years+ if you don’t let it go to waste. Like every car out there in the market, they all will need repairs at some point in time so it is always good to keep a car fund just Incase.

200;575. 12 years

I have over 200000 miles on my Kia it's still running the same as the day I've got it it has started to use just a little bit of oil though. As an oval car I think it's doing real good I really don't know if then doing would do is good or not

Great

My Kia Spectra 5 is 12 years old with 115k miles on it. This past year was the first time I had to put any real money into it, and that was about $2k. But amortize that over 12 years, it comes out to nothing. Otherwise, I have had the normal maintenance costs for brakes, oil changes, etc. Overall, this car has been fantastic for me, and I will buy another Kia if they have a 4-wheel drive vehicle. The car is very low slung, so if there are more than 6" of snow on the ground, you literally can't drive because the car is so low. Also, the car is not great in general when it is snowy out, but other than that for everyday driving I really like this car. It has far exceeded my expectations.

My KIA spectra 5

This car runs well, it gets good gas mileage, looks small on the outside but is actually quite roomy on the inside; plus, my KIA turns into a station wagon when I need it to, and I can move quite a few items. Love my car.

Love My Car

Huge fan of the Kia Spectra. I purchase a 2006 Kia Spectra brand new and have found it to be the most reliable car I have ever owned. With mild repairs and great gas mileage, I am grateful for all the years it's taken care of us and toted us locally as well as cross country. I will drive this car until it's life has run it's course and will forever think of my Kia Spectra with fond memories!

I choose Kia for reliable, attractive transport.

My Kia Spectra has been a reliable, economical car for me for the past seven years. It has no rattles and still tracks as straight as a string. It is easy on gas and tires, It is comfortable on long trips. Even if I win the lottery, I'd take my first look at a new Kia.
