 We had just purchased an Optima for my wife and I had noticed the Spectre5 on the lot.  Not many cars make me stop and give them a second look, but this one did.  Some quick reference checks and I bought it 3 days later.  Although I miss the room in my Caravan I have to say this is one of the most fun cars to drive.  Gas mileage has been just under 30 MPG in mostly city type driving but I know that will get better as it breaks in.  Although no car is perfect I haven't found any major items to complain about.  There has been some talk of Kia not honoring their warranty but you just need to maintain very through records if not serviced at a KIA dealer,
