2009 Kia Spectra Overview
For those who like to get the most bang for their buck, the 2009 Kia Spectra blends class-leading interior space, superb fuel economy and a host of standard features that make sense to the sensible driver.

Available in three trim lines – base LX, loaded SX, and sport-tuned SX – the Spectra is powered exclusively by a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine with Variable Valve Timing that makes 138- horsepower for decent acceleration. A five-speed manual transmission comes standard and offers crisp shifting and decent feel. The optional 4-speed automatic transmission with overdrive is good for cruising at highway speeds. That fuel sipping engine allows for 23-24 MPG in the city and 30-32 MPG on the highway. When it comes to fuel economy, the Spectra measures up favorably against the Honda Civic, Ford Focus and Mazda3.

Optional on SX models, the 4-wheel anti-lock braking system offers superior stopping power and reduces wheel lockup during hard braking. The Spectra received a 5-star frontal crash safety rating from the NHTSA and is loaded with six standard airbags including: dual front airbags, dual front seat-mounted side airbags, and full-length side curtain airbags protecting front and rear passengers in a collision. A standard Tire Pressure Monitoring System alerts the driver to any drops in tire pressure with a warning on the instrument panel.  Front active headrests move up and forward, reducing the likelihood of neck injuries.

SX models add a sport-tuned suspension for crisper handling, unique front and rear fascias, 16-inch alloy wheels and tires, and a rear spoiler for more aggressive styling. Metal finish trim and medal foot pedals are also available on SX models for additional sportiness. An AM/FM/CD audio system with six speakers, auxiliary input jack, tilt steering column and 6-way adjustable driver’s seat are great standard features on all trims. If those aren’t enticing enough, a 6-disc CD changer, leather-wrapped steering knob and power sunroof are available. The 60/40 split folding rear seat offers enhanced cargo flexibility. If you’re worried about the Spectra’s durability, a 10-year/100,000-mile limited warranty is available. 

Spend less at the pump, get an amazing warranty and tons of standard features for at a low price with the 2009 Kia Spectra.
