Greetings to all Spectra owners, Cool

I love Kia Spectra. I am in Ipoh. I went to Kia dealer in Jalan Kampar, Ipoh. I did a test drive. Actually everything is good except that I don`t have deposit to pay. I just booked a new house in Ipoh. So my money all gone. I don`t have any car [xx(] . I only got a Honda Cupchai C70 [:x] .
I love the Silver color Spectra. Anyway, guys please keep on writing on Spectra. Eventhough, I can`t afford to own in for few years, I still congrats u guys for being happy with Spectra.Wink

hi guys..

my gf`s family is looking at the KIA Spectra, hopefully some of you can provide some answers to my question..

1) Engine, is the engine fully developed by KIA or oem from Mitsu or etc.... ?? As far as I understand, Hyundai Elentra and Sonata is both using the Mitsu engines...

2) Fuel comsuption, i read from the threads that the fuel consuption is quite high. But well, welcome feedback for this anyway

3) NVH ? Noise.... engine sound..... etc, any comments

Thanks.. hope to hear from you guys

hi,

I am from singapore and bought a kia spectra H/B (A) here.

1. my understanding is that the kia spectra engine is own design. they call it MI-Tech (Millinnium Inovation Technology), thus not an OEM.

2. Yes fuel consumption is high for singapore context since we do quite a bit of city vs highway. i am doing about 40 city / 60 highway and my consumption with 95 octance shell fusion is about 9 km/l. Heard that the corrolla 1.5 (A) here in singapore consumption range from 12 to 15km/l.

3. NVH not too good. Wind noise, rattling sound. Need more sound proofing insulation to be done.

4. Reasonably price. About S$ 8 - 10k difference comparing to a corolla 1.5(A)

time to check out this forum. im very satisfied with
my black spectra. except for the 2 time crank to start
the engine every morning, and the rattling engine when
drive over puddle of water. puchong SC said no

Like the rest I have been busy too.

Anyways, have done my 10000km servicing. Petrol
consumption is still the same, wonder if the fuel saver
thingy makes any difference. I drive seven days a week,
about 250kms in five days (work) and another 80kms
weekend for classes at UiTM Shah Alam. Total about,
320kms for about RM60 worth of fuel.
The guys have detected the sound coming from something
on the roof that needs to be welded. Require one day to
do it. Maybe do it next month...anybody else have this
done to their vehicle?
