After I got to the 28 thousand mile that is when I noticed a lot of little things breaking and making noises. The vehicle if anything at all be used for commuteing or a lease deal.
I would not recomend any one to purchase one of the 2004 kia spectra LS 4dr sedan 5 speed.
2002 KIA SPECTRA REVIEW DRIVER
I have had to replace 3 head light bulbs on both sides, all tires after 28 thousand, breaks at 32 thousand, clutch at 39 thousand, door locking system at 10 thousand miles,door handle on driver side just broke in half, and electric window for passenger rear replaced at 10 thousand. I am now at 56,000 miles after 3 years and the car is sluggish, gas mileage is not as good and I have kept up with all maintenance scedualed services and oil changes. The part was not replaced with anything so my question is why is it there in the first place? The main office of Kia sent out a memo to all dealerships regaurding the part. Service told me that the models that have the part make that noise, and the ones with out it dont, so they removed it and the noise went away. It is a tiny plastic thing that has no purpose I suppose. I found out from service that is is a part called the Oraphus With its 5-speed manual transmission with a tachometer, my little car has more than enough zip to easily maneuver through traffic. Next I removed the catalytic converter and muffler to straight pipe it. It cost me a little less than $50 on the internet and took me about 45 minutes to install, including removal of the old system. The 2002 Spectra LS comes with a lot more features than the base sedan, and builds on the intermittent wipers, tachometer, and cassette player of the base by adding foglights, a tilt steering wheel, air conditioning, and power windows, locks, and mirrors. The first thing I did was replace the stock air filter system with a cold air intake. Brand new this year is the 2002 Kia Spectra LS, a compact sedan version of the sporty hatchback that replaces the retired Kia Sephia. Finally, my personal favorite thing about the 04 I drive, are the cheap and simple performance modifications that I've made in my driveway. I'm not a big fan of the interior or exterior, they're pretty bland and the seats are not very comfortable, but it's the base model so that's to be expected. It provides a smooth ride with good fuel mileage. With a couple of jack stands, a basic tool set, and some YouTube tutorials, it's pretty easy to work on. As the only trouble it has given me is a problem with the speedometer, the reason I know about parts pricing is that after I was in a low speed collision I made all the repairs myself. First the absolute best thing about the 04, is that most parts are compatible with models clear through 09, which makes them inexpensive and easy to find. It has about 150,000 miles on it right now. I bought this car, base model sedan for $1,400 in 2017 and it has been great.2002 KIA SPECTRA REVIEW MANUAL
