 I bought this Spectra GSX in August of 
2001, I received a strong rebate of 
$1500.00 cash back, along with a strong 
warranty, i.e., 100K or (10)yrs., this 
really eased my apprehension of 
purchasing  a Korea Made Car. Now! The 
performance suits my liking, 125HP is 
sufficient for freeway driving. The 5sp 
manual works well for controlling the 
vehicle.  The GSX Trim level gives an 
abundance of goodies to enjoy while you 
drive. Overall I have had very few 
problems, some shifter Buzz while in 
third gear, this was corrected with new 
parts after two visits to the Kia 
Dealer. After I drive another 50k in 
this car I will know if I have received 
my monies worth. I do enjoy this car.
