Kia hopes the Spectra will be popular with the front-drive hot-rod crowd, thanks to its affordable price and easy adaptability. (Kia showed off a modified Spectra to demonstrate performance potential for the aftermarket.)The Spectra's extremely attractive price should make it a major draw for shoppers who can buy a new car with an excellent warranty for the same price as many used cars. Spectra is a roomy, versatile vehicle at a good price. It has some compromises with trim items, but its hardware seems durable. If you want a five-door hatchback at this price, the Spectra is the only game in town.
