One of the first "ORIORIOK" - KIA SPECTRA - a foreign brand car, which from 2004 to 2011 was collected in the territory of the Russian Federation and which "propheted" to become "another nail to the coffin cover" of the domestic auto industry ... But this is all the lyrics, but it is important that Russian car enthusiasts received the opportunity, in the face of this three-tier, for acceptable money to buy a "new foreign car". For the consumer, ultimately, not "marketing wars", and on "patriotism" to infinity, it is also impossible to refer to infinity - the main thing is that I went, did not break and cost it inexpensively.
Russians, this four-year known since 2004, but its history began significantly earlier - in 1992, in South Korea, a model called Sephia, which survived several updates for his life cycle, and in 2000 it was renamed "Spectra" . In my homeland, the car was produced until 2004, at the same time its production was established on Izhevsk Automobile Plant (until 2011, the company gathered over 104 thousand such sedans).
Outside, Kia Spectra does not produce a strong impression - an eye in the appearance of the car is not for what, and its design refers directly in the 90s of the last century. But at the same time, the sedan looks neatly and very harmonious, and he will not call it - "friendly" front with a neat lighting and a swivel bumper, a classic three-volume silhouette with a long hood and a tangible "process" of the trunk, pretty feed with gripped lanterns and "plump »Bumper.
Dimensions "Spectra" fully meet the concepts of "golf" -class on the European classification: 4510 mm in length, 1415 mm in height and 1720 mm wide. Frontal and rear axles in the four-door are separated by 2560 mm, and its "belly" is separated from the road leaf with a clearance of 154 mm.
In the interior of Kia Spectra, it is also not to find designer delights - an unpleasant and boring situation reigns inside, which is slightly "reviving" well-thought-out ergonomics. The archaic, but informative "board" of the instruments, a spacious four-span steering wheel and an inconspicuous central console with asymmetric ventilation deflectors, digital watch and three "twist" of the climate system - everything is primitive, but reliably and functionally. The decoration of the car is tailored exclusively by budget materials - solid plastics and ordinary tissue.
The main advantage of the Salon "Spectra" is a solid stock of free space on each of the rows of seats. The front armors offer sediments an acceptable profile with unobtrusive lateral support and wide adjustment intervals, and the rear sofa is quite a good configuration and soft filler.
The baggage compartment of KIA SPECTRA is not impressive with its scope - in standard form, its volume is 440 liters, and with folded "2: 3" rear seats in the ratio increases to 1125 liters. Yes, and with the form of it explicit problems: the wheel arches are noticeably passionately, and the opening is squeezed by diagonal lanterns. In the underground niche, the full-size spare tire and the necessary tool are located.
Specifications. The spectrum is found with three petrol four-cylinder "atmospheric", equipped with a 16-valve Type of DOHC type and multipoint technology of fuel:
- Basic option - 1.6-liter (1591 cubic centimeter) unit, the productivity of which has 101 horsepower at 5500 rpm and 145 nm of torque at 4500 rpm.
- The "intermediate" performances "affect" a 1.8 liter engine (1793 cubic centimeters) producing 126 "stallions" at 6000 rpm and 162 Nm of maximum potential at 4900 rpm.
- The "seniors" modifications are relying 2.0-liter (1998 cubic centimeters) Motor generating 140 "mares" at 6000 rpm and 181 Nm of accessible thrust at 4000 rpm.
All the "four" guide the power in full on the wheels of the front axle using the 5-speed "manual" gearbox or a 4-speed "automaton". Depending on the version from the place to the first "hundred", the car "breaks down" after 9.7-16 seconds, the maximum recruits 175-203 km / h and "destroys" from 7.1 to 9.8 liters of fuel for every 100 km of run.
As of its basis, Kia Spectra uses a front-wheel drive "trolley", borrowed from Mazda Familia, with a transversely installed power unit. All wheels of the car are suspended by independent suspension: McPherson depreciation racks are applied in front, and the rear is a multi-dimensional architecture (in each case with steel springs and transverse stability stabilizers).
On the front axis of the three-componity, the ventilated "pancakes" of the brake system is involved, and in the rear, more simple "drums" (on versions with ABS disk devices). Korean is equipped with a steering complex of the "gear-rail" species in which a hydraulic control amplifier is mounted.
Configuration and prices. In Russia, the spectrum was sold from 2004 to 2011 and enjoyed stable demand. At the end of 2016, on the secondary market of our country, it is possible to purchase this sedan at a price of 120,000 rubles, while the cost of the most "fresh and packaged" modifications exceeds 350,000 rubles.
In the list of standard equipment equipment, a pair of front airbags, power amplifier, air conditioning, power windows of four doors, a tissue trim, a central dash, a regular immobilizer, audio preparation and some other items.
In the modern world, where there is a huge selection of brands and types of cars, it is very difficult to give preference to some particular form. The first thing that car owners pay attention to the attention is the quality and reliability of time proven. Kia Spectra is a worthy Korean representative who has not disappointed its owners.
The start of the release started in Korea from 2002 to 2004r., In the future, the spectrum was produced in Russia to 2009. In 2011 The last small party Spectra was released. Depending on the sales region, there are different names, such as Shuma 2, Sephia 2 and Mentor 2.
The spectrum has two types of body: 5 door hatchback and sedan.
The models produced in Russia had a complete set:
- "ON THE" Basic filling, mechanical gearbox.
- "HB" Combines the set. "On" plus 4 glass electro-lifter, electric drive adjustment mirrors, steering wheel adjustment in vertical position, velor's seats, two airbags, belts, power steering, central locking, two speakers ahead and two in the rear shelf.
- "NOT" Combines the set of "HB" plus ABS.
- "NS" Produced with automatic transmission, included a set of "not" and the air conditioner was added.
- "HD" Includes a set. "NS", and also possible leather interior and hatch with electric drive, fog lights, alloy wheels, heated seats.
It is worth noting that the interior plastic, quite pleasant and soft to the touch, which is so often lacking in machines at times more expensive Kia. Over time, sites may appear that will encrypted, but usually on the go, everything is rather quiet and calm.
On dimensions the car refers to With class. The length is 4.510 m, the width is 1.720 m, the height is 1.415 m, the clearance is 15.4 cm (it is a rather small road lumen). The wheelbase is 2.560 m, and the mass is very small - 1170 kg.
According to the technical part, it is especially uncommonning a 4-cylinder engine, does not cause complaints by its work even after 300,000 km. And it will not disturb its owner and further, if you replace the filter, oil and belt according to the regulations.
The engines were also placed under a certain sales market. In America, there was a two-liter engine 138 hp In Europe, there were models 1.6 (101 hp), 1.8 (116 hp and 125 hp), 1.5 (88 and 108l.s.). All gasoline engines recommended by the AI-95 fuel, but it goes well on AI-92. Capacity tank 50l. The minus is a relatively large fuel consumption, if you take a motor 1.6l.
Consumption in the city from 11 to 13 liters of fuel at 100km. Also, arguing the car up to 3000 bonds, noise insulation does not cope and engine sound is very well heard. To bring the engine up to 3000 revolutions, it is enough to go to 5 transmission 100km / h and the noise penetrating the cabin will cause minimal discomfort.
Two types of gearboxes were installed in the sphater. The mechanical five-speed, which has proven itself from a very good side, which almost does not bring any inconveniences. But the four-step automaton (automatic transmission) is capricious, issuing errors on sensors, scaring metal rustle or gaps, slip. This trouble is very noticeable in machines released after 2007. The mistress of older models of automatic transmission, as well as the owners of mechanics, carefully operating the car, with a small probability will face this problem.
Kia Spectra's body is covered with an anti-corrosion, zinc-containing protective layer and with proper care, does not deliver special inconveniences to their masters, does not lose its appearance and it is possible to call it very hardy and high-quality. There are also problem specimens who visited the accidents that were covered with corrosion of deformed thresholds on the borders, but for the most part the owners are responsible for it, and not the manufacturer. On the part of the paint coating, small chips can appear on the front of the car, due to the speed of the speeds at speed, the benefit of it does not entail the subsequent formation of rust.
In terms of handling, it is very nice car. Dynamic, with power steering, keeps the road well both in the city and on the track.
The front lever-spring, independent and multi-type rear suspension, gently and adequately copes with irregularities on the road, falling into the pits and passing the sleeping police does not bring discomfort to the driver and passengers. The service life of the suspension consumables, primarily depends on the style of driving sitting behind the wheel and the number of pit assembled on the road. Mostly suspension is unpretentious, very easy to maintain and has a small price tag. So with her problems with the owners does not happen.
Safety
It is impossible to say that KIA spectrum is reference. Equipped with only two pillows, for the driver and passenger sitting on the front seat, it creates not the best protection. Options with a richer room, have six airbags, as well as special inflatable curtains over the windows. Crash tests, with a front and side collision, show good statistics.
Belts five, as well as the number of possible seats. With emergency braking, ABS comes to the help of the driver, as well as the braking path help reduce reinforced brake pads, evenly distributing the load.
Advantages and disadvantages of the car
Summing up, you can select several positive and negative points.
From the advantages you can list the following:
- Low cost in the secondary market.
- High reliability of all vehicles of the car, including MCPP and body.
- Easy and low cost in service.
- Soft suspension.
- Pleasant management.
- Qualitative and pleasant to the touch plastic.
- Full electric circuit.
- Spacious salon and trunk.
- Very safe car, if we talk about the basic configuration.
Disadvantages:

- Consumption within the city of 11-13 liters / 100km, with 1.6 l.
- Unfigure automatic transmission models after 2007.
- Gradually obsolete design.
- The most common 1.6 l - 101l / s. Transport tax becomes more due to 1l / s.
The car, although it is not famous for a rich package, but will be surprised at the first time with your hidden "chips", such as, disabling the heating of the rear window (in order to avoid overheating), different niches for small things, a large trunk, which will be placed every time more and more and more. If before that you went to the old BMW, you will finally forget the faces of those guys from the car service, which they saw more often.
Spectra really does not require special investments in it, repair can be carried out using conventional sets of keys, without specials. Tools, therefore, with a big desire, consumables can be changed both, everything is in human, in accessibility. The spectrum is good, because it was not easy for it and competed on the market for more than 10 years.
Every motorist understands that any car has any disadvantages. If they find out when purchased, this is for the better, because so you can competently approach car care.
Weak points of cius Spectra:
- Automatic transmission;
- front brake pads;
- hub bearings;
- timing belt;
- heater radiator.
Chassis.
1. It is clear that KIA spectrum is no exception and has its own mistakes to pay attention to when purchasing. One of the explicit weaknesses is the wheel bearings of the wheels. The fact is that they differ in that they represent something with the hub. And change, as a rule, assembled with the hub. Of course, it is possible to change it so much, then there is a risk of further problems, up to the cliff of the wheel (due to the collapse). You can determine the sound when driving on a flat road. As a rule, the buzz appears when wear. Also ask the seller when the bearing changed. If not changed, then it is worth paying attention to it. Since the bearings most often change these cars.
2. Unfortunately, the native front pads also can not serve the winner of KIA for a long time. They pass about 80 thousand, and on this, their service life will end. Worn can be determined visually. If it is not clear how to do it can be elementary to clarify the seller when the replacement was made. If there was no replacement, then, respectively, it is an argument to reduce the price of the car being purchased. But it first of all depends on what year the machine and how many mileage on it.
3. If we talk about the spectrum, then it is necessary to clarify that the machine is considered to be tight. Many adhere to the opinion that when purchasing the spectra, it is better to give preference to mechanics, since the machine is unreliable. But it is worth paying attention to that not all machines of this model flored automatic. Here to decide, of course the buyer, but it is worth aware about it. If still decided with the automatic transmission, then it is necessary to ride and see how the gear shift occurs.
4. The timing belt is a sick placekia Spectra, which is worth paying attention to. Approximately every 60 thousand he makes itself felt, demanding a replacement. And this element requires special attention. When buying a car, it is necessary to find out when it was replaced.
No matter how paradoxically, it is a weak point of the spectra of the front bumper. With a good knocker, the bumper bumper of this unpleasant moment can hardly be avoided.
5. The weak radiator of the salon heater is less pleasant. May flow at any time.
Do CIA SPECTRA
When buying a spectra as well as when buying any car, it is necessary to carry out a thorough inspection of the entire car in the absence of damage to the LCP body. Ride. Feel and listen to how other nodes and auto units work. How the transmissions are switched, how the stove works, how the engine works. Find out in what state of the rack (knock or not when driving).
Of the foregoing it is worth a conclusion. If, when buying a cue, the spectra is not able to check it in the car service or decided to save on it, then how carefully check it yourself and knock the price. After all, this money will go to eliminate faults in the future.
In principle, the spectrum is a reliable machine, therefore it is worth thinking about her acquisition in serious. If you consider certain nuances, the purchase will not represent difficulties.

Review O KIA SPECTRA left: Victor Kulagin from Picalevo
From December 2007 car from December 2007, I bought in the car dealership, mechanics. Very satisfied, in the city consumption 10 liters, on the highway 6.7 liters. 3 times drove the whole family on it on the Black Sea. By March 2014, 230,000 km had already traveled, pouring the synthetic Mobile 1 (before Leil Esso, then Liquim Molly, and still stopped at Mobile, the motor works softer). The spectrum never let me down, calmly started at minus 30 if the battery is good and oil. By the body, not a single hint of corrosion, help, and as a new one. On the track, the road holds well, low center of gravity, a wide base. Spare parts like on VAZ, only quality is better, the radiator costs 1200 rubles.

In principle, the usual budget Russian foreign car.
Let's start with disadvantages: low road lumen lumen with clips on substantial irregularities. Front racks on the back work with a knock. Bad Shumka. The engine works noisily. Incomprehensible hiss of wind at the left front side glass. Not comfortable landing-disembarka from cars. In the frost half fogging the side driver's glass. Small rift belt resource. Dusty light fog. Somewhat flickering. Parking brake is not very.
Now about the pros. Not expensive spare parts. Normal handling, especially on the winter road, when on the track, porridge goes car exactly. Full text review about Kia Spectra 1.6

Auto 2007 of the most simple configuration without kondeya, Al. Mirrors, casting, disc brakes behind. I 2 owner bought a handmaker's peasant, car in excellent. condition and external. I gave everything from it that it was acquired for 6 years of service, ranging from new summer and winter rubber on casting and ending with light bulbs of overall lights and nozzles of windshield washer 3 kits of janitors.

Review O KIA SPECTRA 1.6 left: Serega from the city of Veliky Novgorod
I had a KIA spectrum from 2007-2013. During this period, I traveled with a little. The car never led me anywhere and did not even strain the unnecessary attention to himself. Very not a whimping machine, even to sell was sad. During operation, I changed the timing belt + rollers according to the regulations, filter, candles, stabilizer racks. 85,000 km changed the ball support, the torn boot did his job. Everything is very cheap and in any hundred changes in an inexpensive.
Of the minuses are unnecessarily soft suspension, big sinks, it is necessary to be neat to keep the bumper and a little unnecessary eats gasoline for 101 horses, but it eats any of our gasoline and does not sneeze.
