If you're looking for strong value in a compact package, the Kia Spectra is a nice little car. It represents one of the best values among compacts, with an impressive list of safety equipment for its modest price.
The Spectra comes in three trims: base LX, EX and sporty SX. It can hold up to five passengers and has a four-wheel-independent suspension. It is powered by a 138 hp 2.0-liter four-cylinder that is controlled by a standard five-speed manual transmission. A four-speed automatic transmission is optional. Front airbags, Seat-mounted side-impact airbags and side curtain airbags are standard on all trims.
For 2008, the Kia Spectra is largely a carryover.
NHTSA rates crash-tested vehicles by assigning them one to five stars, with five stars indicating the most injury protection and one star indicating the least protection.
