Detailed review: |
I've owned a Spectra for about eight months now, and so far I've only had one problem with the vehicle (and I strongly suspect that the dealer was at fault, not the car). Overall the car has held up well despite the fact I tend to be rough on my cars. The exterior body style is sharp looking and the hatchback is incredibly convenient. The interior is kinda cheap looking, but that's normal for an economy car. The automatic tends to lag occasionally when accelerating but if you're not afraid to punch the accelerator, it definitely has plenty of get up and go. The car handles unexpectedly well also, but the poor quality Kumho tires lessen the performance. Also, the gas mileage is unexpectedly poor for such a small car. Overall, though, I'd recommend this car to anyone. |
