Why Not the 2008 Kia Spectra5?

Powertrain performance

When I first bought the car the 138HP seemed like plenty, but there is a deadband near 4000RPM & the little engine just has NO torque.

Ride smoothness

The car rides rough, of course this is expected on a light weight "Econo-box" which is what I bought this car for anyway.

Quietness

Similar to the rough ride, the light weight frame transmits a lot of road noise into the cabin.

This review was originally a two-car comparison review. Read the other half here.
