Kia Spectra
The Spectra represents the automaker in the compact car category. It is available as a sedan and a five-door hatchback. Both versions are powered by a 138 horsepower 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine, which is the norm in the category. The sedan's profile is relatively traditional, while the hatchback's is clearly more modern. In both cases, the dashboard is much more practical than elegant.
