The 2008 Kia Spectra5.
The Spectra5 SX has it all: cool looks, sporty performance, and the versatility to take you from one adventure to the next.
A 2.0-liter 16-valve engine and sport-tuned suspension deliver tight handling for an exhilarating ride, not to mention outstanding fuel efficiency of up to 32 mpg***.
SX's stylish standard features include aerodynamic spoilers and side trim, front fog lights, metal pedals, a roof-mounted antenna and those must have 16" alloy wheels.
What's more, Spectra5 SX earned a 5-star crash safety rating** in frontal driver and passenger crash tests from the National Highway Safety Administration (NHTSA) and comes with Kia's comprehensive 10 year/100,000 mile warranty program. It's easy to see why the Spectra5 SX is miles ahead of the competition.
*** Based on 2008 EPA highway estimates ** Government star ratings are part of the (NHTSA) New Car Assessment Program (safercar.gov). Models tested with side-impact airbags (SABs).
