Yea, Yea, I know what you guys are thinking....Kia?!? But seriously. take a look. and tell me what you think. the strong points. the weak points. pros and cons between both cars. the Kia Spectra5 has really interested me and is a competitor to the scion with me. Here's Kia Spectra5's web site...WOOT. (http://spectra5.kia.com/index_content.html). As you can see they seem to be trying the same marketing as the Scion line is, by targeting Gen Yers.

well it not bad looking and it got more motor, is faster, well equiped, 10yr warranty, and 5yr roadside assistance not a bad deal but I'd still might be embarassed to say I drive a kia. (although I kinda like the sorento its a cool small suv) I'd dont know but good luck to you.

Yeah, resale is pretty extremely bad on Kias. I've had dealers mention that they won't take a Kia as a trade-in.

It's a very attractive car. . . good job Kia! If they had used ones available, I would consider it, if I needed a cheap car badly, but resale makes me turn away from buying one new.

Most only have bad memories of Hyundai/Kia, but they are coming up in the ranks and fast. There quality levels are now surpassing many established manufacturers. . . Mitsubishi, for one.

if ya got more money go for the mazda 3 . i heard theyve got a deal for 2 for 25k not bad
04's tho but still 148 hp or 160hp (nice) :twisted: and those cars look nice as hell and perform grrrrreat. zoom zoom as they say. i like the mazda 3 coupe and the 3 hatch. awesome lil cars. i honestly thought they cost more than they do if i wouldda know i wouldda bought one instead of my xb :roll:

Look into the hyundai counter part, still might not be as good as a toyota, but its better then a kia. If hyundai has no counter part yet, they will soon then. Even the Rio & Accent are going to share platforms soon from what I have read.
