2005 Kia Spectra Ld By Jennifer Claerr on Oct 27, 2007 - Updated Oct 15, 2011

Recently the car which my husband had been driving, an older Ford Escort, exhaled its last breath. We desperately needed a new car, and didn't know what to do. We stopped by Central Kia in Dallas.

They had an excellent trade-in deal where they give you a $3000 discount on a new car in exchange for a trade-in of your old car. We were overjoyed. There's no way we could have gotten $3000 for that old Escort. We got an excellent deal on a 2005 Kia Spectra LD in exchange for this car.

The Kia Spectra is an excellent car. We haven't had a moment of trouble with it. It is a highly economical car, yet it has power windows and is roomy enough for my entire family. This is an extremely reliable car which comes complete with all standard safety features.

I recommend this model car very highly. Kia seems to be doing right by their customers. Shortly after purchasing this car, we bought a used 2002 Kia Spectra, which has also done us proud.
