 Detailed review:

RUN RUN RUN......I bought a 2002 kia spectra about 10 months ago, in the first two weeks of having the car I had to bring it in to have the rotors replaced, shortly after that the paint started to bubble in the back and rust started to appear, about 3 months later the emissions switch valve needed to be replaced I then had to bring it back in to have the rotors replaced AGAIN all within about 8 months, I was lied to about the interest and also about tire rotations on every other oil change, after you sign the dotted line the dealership doesnt have time for you and basicly calls you a liar... I recently traded my kia in for a nissan frontier, and found out my book value was only 5400.00 I still owed 10500.00 they drop value RAPIDLY I advise anyone to check out the kelly blue book values on kias to see what you are getting yourself into. I now see why they have the warrenty they have cause you would be up the creek with no paddle if they didnt... my suggestion is to spend a few more dollars and get a different car, cause when you go to trade it in, the new dealership will probably want you to pay them to take it off your hands... In the long run it is going to cost you alot more to get rid of it, cause you will owe alot more then it is worth....
