You don’t have to worry about swerving around potholes, where you are going to park your car or a smaller fender bender. For less than $10,000 you can get a car that you aren’t scared to park at the front of the parking lot and risk getting dings and door dents. Not only do you rack up miles on the odometer quickly the general wear and tear of driving a car every day can be tremendous. The Spectra is a good car, but it isn’t necessarily nice, which is a great quality to have in a commuter car.

On the highway, the Spectra can get up to 32mpg and it can get up to 24mpg in the city. The Kia Spectra also gets relatively good gas mileage, adding to the idea of using it as a commuter car. Owners brag about the low cost of repairing the Spectras, and most people claim that they haven’t had to do any major, expensive repairs as long as general maintenance schedules are followed. Maintenance for the Kia Spectra is simple, and because it doesn’t have as many complications as newer cars and some luxury brands, they can be worked on by almost any mechanics. They are known for the reliability and with just general maintenance can reportedly last over 200,000 miles. Janu(Photo by David Cooper/Toronto Star via Getty Images) A good commuter carīuying a used Kia means you probably aren’t concerned about the mileage, and that’s one reason that the Spectra is a good choice for a commuter car. NAIAS 2004- Kia Spectra EX on display Tuesday during the last Press Preview day at the North American International Auto Show 2004 in Cobo Hall Detroit. It’s a basic car that puts simplicity at the forefront of its design. The Kia Spectra doesn’t have a backup camera, touch screen infotainment system, or any of the neat technology safety features of the new Kia sedans. They lack a lot of the modern features that you want from a car. You can purchase a Kia Spectra for less than $10,000 which is a pretty good deal for a reliable car.
Regardless, the Spectra is pretty cool for an older car. The Kia Spectra went into production in 2000 and Kia ended production in 2009, so there aren’t any relatively new models. When you buy an older, used car you are typically paying a fraction of the cost of what the first owner paid, meaning you are missing out on that pesky thing called depreciation. An X indicates that the vehicle was not manufactured for a specific year.There is definitely an appeal to buying the newest, shiniest car models that a manufacturer has to offer, but there are some major benefits to buying used cars as well. N/A indicates that we did not receive a large enough sample size to provide data for a specific year. Our subscribers provide great insights into their satisfaction by answering one simple question: If they had it to do all over again, would they definitely buy or lease the same model? In addition, respondents also rate their cars in six categories: driving experience, comfort, value, styling, audio, and climate systems. To learn about satisfaction, CR has collected survey data from our annual survey on more than half a million vehicles. An X indicates that the vehicle was not manufactured for a specific year. Based on this data and further analysis, we predict reliability for the latest year. Extra weight is given to the more serious areas such as major engine or transmission problems. The results are presented relative to the average model that year. Consumer Reports subscribers reported on any serious problems they had with their vehicles during the past 12 months that they considered serious because of cost, failure, safety, or downtime, in any of the trouble spots included in the table below. The reliability charts are based on responses on hundreds of thousands of vehicles from our latest Annual Auto Survey.
