Used Kia Spectra for Sale

I bought this car initially for a commuter car. I lived 45 minutes away from work and needed something that was reliable and fuel efficient. Over time I had two kids and while it's tight on space, it provided a safe and reliable way to transport my kids and commute. It's easy to drive and easy to maintain. It's not top of the line in comfort or durability but it's extremely fuel efficient and will get you where you need to go. It handles surprisingly well in bad weather conditions too. I live in an area with major snow fall and it's never gotten stuck or failed to get me down my long winding gravel road. I've also taken it out some really gnarly Forest Service roads and it's never ever failed me, even in crazy road conditions. I have the hatchback version and it's got so much space in the trunk it's not even funny. True story, I once had to transport a Turkey 2 hours away and all I had was my Kia Spectra. I laid down tarps in the truck and my full grown Tom Turkey rode in the truck, gobbling at every car that passed, happy as a clam.

The 2008 Kia Spectra is an excellent car. The build is sturdy, and received only a few dings during a massive hailstorm--impressive! The paint has kept its color and vibrancy, and the top coat is as shiny as the day I drove it off the lot. The headlights are still clear, as well. The heat and ac have never failed to produce toasty warmth and icy cold. There is plenty of legroom in the back, as well as a generous trunk for a regular grocery run or a family vacation to the beach. The bucket seats in the front are gently curved to hug the bottom, and the driver's seat boasts several adjustments, so that one is in the perfect position to see over the dashboard. The windows and side mirrors are automatic, and the stereo boasts radio, CD and auxiliary options. Over 100,000 miles have been put on this car with nothing but routine maintenance. It gets an average of 38 mpg highway. It is an excellent commuter car. We have had to replace headlights occasionally and the battery once. The windshield was also replaced when a rock cracked it on the highway. My only complaint with the car is the driver's side power window panel seems to be on the fritz lately...Windows will roll down but not back up, just with this panel. All other panels are fine. Everything else is in perfect working order.

The Kia Spectra has been nothing but reliable.
