Hey guys, Really Considering the 2006 spectra5 if my dealer can find one, 2 Questions for you guys, I live up here on the praries in Canada, where we have some pretty cold winters, with loads of snow. I would like to try and get the moonroof with the Spectra5, however you hear about the horror stories people have with moonroofs especially in winter climates with leakage and breakage ect. I am curious if anyone has any insight into the 2006 Spectra5's moonroof's quality related to winter climates. Also I was wondering if its included in the 5 year bumper to bumbper warenty or weather it falls into the 12 month accessory warenty. Any help is greatly apreciated, soundguy_99 |

Have an '05 Spectra5 I bought last August and love the car. Just under 11k miles without a problem until now. I've always been aware of the low front spoiler and have been careful with it, but I was distracted when I pulled into a parking spot and hit it against the low sidewalk. The spoiler itself is fine, but it looks like I broke the positioning pins. I'm sure I'm not the only one that's experienced this problem, but I wonder if anyone has made the repairs on their own? Wonder if I need to buy some new pins and it looks like double sided tape? Want some info before I unscrew the ends from the wheel well and possibly make a bigger problem than I currently have. TIA!

Needless to say, I'm NOT happy about it! The one she knocked loose looked fine to me but the dealer said it wasn't. To top it all off, when the new one came in, they called and I took the car in only to find out that they hadn't opened the box and 'someone' had ordered the rear one instead of the front one. Sigh. Two more weeks later, the correct one came in and I had it installed. The next time my daughter comes to visit, I'll let heer drive my OTHER car instead of the KIA. Oh -- yeah -- she said it was 'my' fault because I didn't tell her the spoiler was so low! I love her anyway!!

I did notice they made the spoiler as a seperate peice so I guess it could be removed to make the bumper higher. I don't think I'd own a Spectra 5 if I lived in areas prone to deep Snow in the Winter. I didn't buy the car to plow Snow, LOL!

When I bought my 2006 Spectra 5 the dealer gave me an accessory catalog to look through. Since I live on a dirt road, I opted for the mud flaps to help protect the paint. Well I got the mud flaps but as I went to install them, it appears that they are not designed for the ground effect kit on the Spectra 5. Did my dealer mess up and sell me something only meant for the Spectra or is their a trick to putting these things on? Thanks! Mike |

First post! I just bought my silver 06 yesterday. Love the car so far. Great pickup and it fun to toss around curves. Wish I had a little more legroom, but I'm 6'7" so that is not an unusual wish! I've already started the modding. Today I took off the front Kia emblem in the grill, removed the black door protector trim,and removed the Spectra5 emblem on the back. I also had the car tinted. I think it cleaned up the looks of it a bit. Here are some pics!
