Replying to: 204meca (Nov 11, 2006 6:13 pm) pf_flyer: I'm sure you've already decided and I'm going to assume you went with the Kia (cause it is best overall) but, in case you haven't and, for anyone else, here's a long review (my first; it's a bit rough) for my '07 Spectra5 (Automatic) I've owned since end of April '07.   http://www1.epinions.com/content_372955254404   Cheers. ~A
#10 of 10 Today - 07' Automatic by udroppedthis May 31, 2008 (7:35 pm)
Have a few offered in autotrader lately. Test drove at the dealership. Sped up on the expressway ramp and felt like it didn't have pickup, but sped up to 70 without even realizing it   The bucket seats were a bit slim (used to bench seats), and the seat belt if not properly places dug into my hip (180 lb driver)   I liked the plastic foot dummy pedal for your non-driving foot, but felt better without it.   My driving foot wasn't extremely comfortable, and the horn was funny and wimpy sounding. Made me laugh.   The 07' had a wierd cubby on the left to the steering wheel on the dash, cell phone fit but couldn't visibly read it. The ipod hookup was cool with a cubby next to that in the center. And the extra charger in the arm rest was cool.   It had adjustable rollers for the cup holders, and the car handled well on an extremely bumpy trucking road.   I liked the feel and size of the steering wheel (test drove a pontiac G6 and the steering wheel was too skinny - but that one had the stereo controls in the steering wheel) The radio controls were easily accessible though.   I felt ok driving it, but afterwards felt like the bare minimum for a somewhat affordable price.   I'd still consider test driving another one offered by a private seller before I decide to spend all the money I have saved up for a car. All and all, the skinny bucket seats for my "fatoss" might not mesh well. But the reviews all sound pretty good.
