What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2008 Kia Spectra
| 2008 Kia Spectra Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2008 | 4dr Hatch 138-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
Very comfortable for prolonged around-town driving, not bad for long trips. Could use adjustable lumbar support, but all other adjustments are very good. The non-sueded cloth is comfortable and durable. see full Kia Spectra review |

| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2008 | 4dr Hatch 138-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
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. see full Kia Spectra review |
