2005 Kia Spectra- kinda impressive

[slackerinabox]

This is kinda old but I stumbled on this preview - pretty impressive for the price, actually... I think this will compete with the elantra in the market place- ironic, huh?

The front looks decent. The back looks like the previous model.

If only they didn't have to put the kia badge on them

Competing with the Elantra is not something to be proud of.

Snobbisms aside, the elantra is a good car... I'd say the spectra will compete fairly with the focus and the corolla as well..

They really attack different markets. The focus and corolla are for people with money, and the kia is for people with bad credit and no money. At least that's the impression I get from their ads, and what I think a lot of people associate them with.

not bad I guess... it will still take me a while to buy a Koren car, even if they get good writeups.

That doesn't look too bad, but I'd still be hard pressed to spend in upwards of 20k on a Korean car, NAV system or not.

It could be 20k mexican pesos, I really should have said that I wouldn't buy a Korean car, NAV system or not.

And in ten years when Kia finally gets their sh!t together and makes a car worth buying, I'll consider owning one.
