At last after a week of hassle, we get to drive the new KIA SPECTRA 5.

Abah took delivery of the car in Kuala Terengganu and drove back to Kota Bharu. It was a smooth ride.

Comment from the others

The 2009 KIA SPECTRA 5 has got some real appealing features to attract the car buyers in Malaysia if only NAZA had done more adverts for the model. The 2009 KIA SPECTRA 5 draws its power from the 1.6 -liter 16v DOHC CVVT inline-4 Gamma generation of new engines capable of churning out 128 horsepower at 6000 rpm and 137 lb.-ft. of torque at 4500 rpm.

The engine has further been strengthened with the introduction of a 4-speed automatic transmission with KIA-System Porsche-Borg Warner-PSA Tiptronic functions, same as in OPTIMA and CITRA & CITRA RONDO. And thanks to this drive by wire 4-speed automatic tiptronic transmission, the 2009 KIA SPECTRA 5 offers great mileage – RM0.14 per km in the city and RM0.12 per km on the highways.
