What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2009 Kia Spectra
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.
