Thinking of buying the 2002 Kia Spectra?
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2002 Kia Spectra for sale by us right now. Before you buy the 2002 Kia Spectra, here is what the figures say and what to look at.
Recalls and complaints
Owners filed 92 complaints with NHTSA, most often about air bags, service brakes and power train; have those parts checked. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.
Reading the spec sheet
It runs the 1.8L 4-cylinder, with front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
The EPA rates it at 9.8 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 29 litres. In energy, every 100 km costs about $15.19 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,800 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Who it is for
It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.
How big it is
Being a compact car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. Its 396 litre trunk is enough for about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Try before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Drive the Spectra on your commute before you commit to it. Try the Spectra on your commute, then decide.
Narrowing it down
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
What it costs to run
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $15.19 in fuel. The EPA estimates US$2,800 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
