Pros: What do you like about 2008 Kia Spectra?
The shield under engine convenient to catch oil and filter when I change it.
Also I like tire wear in front lasted 40,000 miles before separating.
I also like getting down into and getting up out of the spec/5.

Cons: How would you improve 2008 Kia Spectra?
Driver's seat ratchets up and forward instead of up, also doesn't slide back enough.
With key bob unlocking will, re -lock soon after.
Down shift to first is so slow, if you don't come to a stop.
Driving lights should be option with out headlights.
Battery cell cap not removable.
Radio #%@!**.
Pull up to dim headlights?

Plenty of leg room in the back seat.
Nice sound system and it is awesome it came with the AUX jack for my MP3 player.

A sunroof is all I think I would love to have.
It is a very good car.

2008 Kia Spectra Review:
I like how runs. Nice and quiet. It is a great car overall. Very easy to wash and a great warranty to boot. I would recommend anyone to get a KIA.

About a month after I bought the car, it started falling apart mechanically, the warranty covers the parts, but not my inconvenience.

2008 Kia Spectra Review:
I initally said "I am never gonna buy a Kia" I retracted that statement after I test drove one. It outhandled and outdrove every other "SportWagon" on the market. I was completely satisfied with the fair price and the awesome warranty that came with it.
