Kia’s distinguished Spectra sedan has a hatchback edition called the Spectra5. This model resembles the Spectra’s SX trim level in terms of performance, but the Spectra5 hatchback has some added flare. With a cool, sporty exterior chassis, it propels along the road with exceptional performance, style and fuel economy that would make the new CAFE laws proud.

The stylish hatchback comes with aerodynamic spoilers and side trim, 16-inch alloy wheels, metal pedals, a trunk-replacing lift up hatch, tinted glass and many other features that set it apart from other automobiles. Inside the fresh framework, the inside can seat up to five and holds a variety of useful accessories. The folding backseat can increase the already notable 18.3 cubic feet of cargo space when it is condensed. In addition, the large rear opening on the hatchback makes cargo-loading worlds easier. Amidst the spacious interior rests dual front advanced airbags, side airbags and full-length side curtain airbags.

The accessories included with the Spectra5 can dazzle any driver. Some features you will find include cruise control, a tilt steering column, power windows and door locks, remote keyless entry, air conditioning and the choice between two impressive audio systems. Further conveniences include antilock brakes, a tire-pressure monitoring system and much more!

The Spectra5 uses its 2.0-liter, inline 4-cylinder engine to generate up to 138 horsepower. It teams with a 5-speed manual transmission or an optional electronically controlled 4-speed automatic transmission. With the 4-speed transmission, the 2008 Spectra5 can get 32mpg highway.

Everything from the handling to the comfort is appealing about this car. It drives like a dream and anyone should be grateful to have the 2008 Kia Spectra5 grace their driveway.

The 2008 Kia Rondo compact multi-purpose vehicle adds a considerable amount of flare to the Kia lineup. Just imagine the convenience of an SUV with the fuel efficiency and handling of a sedan all wrapped into one valiant package. The 2008 Rondo comes in the LX and high performance EX trim levels.

The idiosyncratic bodywork of this vehicle holds a flexible space for the driver and passenger to occupy. Either five or seven occupants can fit inside, depending on if you choose to include the 50/50 split fold-flat third row seats. The second and third rows of seats both fold flat and allow you to hold as much cargo as you need to. All trim levels have available characteristics such as an impressive audio system, power windows and door locks, cruise control, keyless entry, copious cargo compartments scattered amongst the dashboard and doors, orange illuminated instrumentation and further features. The EX models get even better Infinity® MP3 audio system, steering wheel based controls for various functions and optional heated leather seats. The list of standard and optional features carries on for quite a while.

To propel this car, Kia gave an option of two engines. Both the LX and EX trim can be equipped with a 2.4 liter four-cylinder engine or a 2.7-liter V6 that can generate 182 horsepower. The 2.4 liter teams with a four-speed automatic transmission and the V6 uses a five-speed automatic.

Kia made this vehicle as safe as it is convenient and powerful. Along with the normal frontal airbags, there are dual front seat-mounted side airbags and full-length side curtain airbags. To compliment the various airbags, the Rondo has four-wheel anti-lock brakes, an Electronic Stability System, a Tire-Pressure Monitoring System, side-impact door beams and more!

If you’re looking for a taste of something different but want guaranteed outstanding performance in all categories, it is recommended to check out the 2008 Kia Rondo.
