Why in kia spectrum. Clearance Kia spectrum, increase in the road lumen KIA SPECTRA, real lumen. Configuration and prices

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.

Review O KIA SPECTRA 1.6 left: Alexander from the city of Moscow

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 noisy. 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

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. For 9 months of operation, with my non-calm ride, both in the city on 1 transmission up to 50 km / h and on the highway 170-190 km / h.

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.

Road clearance of kia spectrum or clearanceAs for any other passenger car is an important factor on our roads. It is the state of the road surface or its complete absence forces Russian motorists to be interested in KIA SPECTRA clearance and the possibility of increasing the road lumen with the help of spacer.

To begin with, it is necessary to honestly say that real clearance kia spectrum It can be seriously different from the manufacturer's declared. The whole secret in the method of measurement and place of measuring the road lumen. Therefore, it is possible to find out the real state of affairs only by armed with a roulette or ruler. Official clearance of kia spectrum Russian assembly is 156 mm, With the automatic box, this indicator is 154 mm. In reality, the absorption of only about 12 centimeters!

Some manufacturers go to the trick and declare the size of the road lumen in the "empty" car, but in real life we \u200b\u200bhave a complete trunk of all sorts of things, passengers and a driver. That is, the clien's loaded car will be completely different. Another factor that has few people in mind is the age of the car and wear of the springs of their "seeding" from old age. The question is solved by installing new springs or purchase of spacers under spring Spectrum Springs. Spacers allow you to compensate for the singer of the springs and will add a pair of centimeters of the road lumen. Sometimes even a centimeter in the parking lot at the border plays an important role.

But it is not necessary to get involved in the "elevator" of the road lumen of the KIA spectrum, because spacers for increasing clearance are focused only on the springs. If you do not pay attention to shock absorbers, the course of which is often very limited, then independent modernization of the suspension can lead to the loss of controllability and damage to the shock absorbers. From the point of view of the passability, the big road clearance in our harsh conditions is good, but at high speeds on the track and in turning there appears a serious routine and additional casual rolls.

So the measurement of the actual (real) road lumen of KIA spectrum, look at the photo further.

That is, the elements of the exhaust system is only 120 mm. Please note that under the metal protection of the engine is even less.

The problem of a small road lumen on Spectra is solved by installing spacers between the rack and the body. What can I buy spacers both on the front suspension and back. The choice in the market is huge, you can take expensive aluminum original spacers (as in the photo) or look for options for cheaper from another material of dubious origin.

Any car manufacturer When designing suspension and choosing the magnitude of the clearance is looking for a golden middleness between handling and passability. Perhaps the easiest, safe and simple way to increase the clearance, it is to install wheels with "high" rubber. Wheel change makes it easy to increase ground clearance on a centimeter of another.

Do not forget that a serious change in clearance can damage Kia Spectra's scraps. After all, "grenades" will have to work a little under a different angle. But this concerns only the front axle. Not only that serious change in clearance can lead to uneven wear of rubber.

Kia "Spectra": pros and cons.
In December 2007 I purchased a new Kia "Spectra" of Izhevsk assembly in the FB2272 configuration (ABS with four disk brakes, air conditioning, PTF, MCPP). Of course, I am not an expert in the field of automotive industry, and this material, first of all, is a look of a simple user of this product. I hope my observations will serve as a reflection of those who think about buying this model. Moreover, I do not bring the comparison of "Spectra" with a car of other brands and I do not give any tips, decide for yourself - only "naked" facts.
Body. Trunk. Salon.
It is possible for a long time and unsuccessfully arguing about that outdated or no car design is a matter of taste habits and preferences, it is much more important that the body conscientiously perform its aerodynamic functions and was convenient to operate. With these duties of the body "Spectra" perfectly copes. There are no special complaints to the aerodynamics, but at speeds above 140 km / h, the car begins to tear somewhat from the ground and, if the road is uneven, on the waves of asphalt management becomes a little nervous. The outer mirrors are loudly whistled with lateral wind and at high speed (160-170 km / h). You can get used to the dimensions very quickly, and informative mirrors help in this and the bumpers outstanding outside the body are helped. With a lot for the urban car, parallel parking does not cause special difficulties. But, however, I want to note such a feature of the car, as permanently dirty side windows of the front door in wet weather, and the dirt from the windshield focuses precisely in the viewing zone of the side mirrors, and the water from the "janitor" of the driver falls on the left side glass.
In the first consideration, the trunk "Spectra" only pleases: spacious, it has a good loading disc, equipped with fasteners and independent illumination, and the back of the rear seat folds two to three. When it comes to download, two main minuses are revealed, which significantly spoil the impression of the number of trunk. Yes, the seats can be folded separately, but access to the salon blocks a bulkhead, which serves as an amplifier for twisting, and the hole in it is very small. The second minus is the loop of the trunk cover, having a very large departure. Because of this, a lot of useful space is lost, however, this lack is inherent in most other cars. A question may arise as objectively do these minuses interfere? Judge for yourself: four regular wheels are not placed in the trunk at all sizes! However, every day they will not be engaged with them.
The interior of the car does not shock with its size, but quite comfortable. Front and back is quite enough space, so as not to feel more shy. The landing and landing of the rear passengers is difficult because of the wide rear seat cushion, but this minus is compensated by a convenient location of the passenger on the seat itself, which is on the road, agree is more important. Despite repeatedly emphasized journalists, the finish is quite kindly. Plastic does not look cheap, butts are nicely fitted. Velur is a slow and well cleaner. In general, the salon though looks "boring", but, nevertheless, quite bright and pleasant for perception. A good impression is lubricated only by a not very comfortable driver's seat and the syllables of the ceiling. But, if you still have to fight with the latter, the fact that the driver's seat is facing - there will have to come to terms with inconvenience, though, I was pleasantly surprised by the fact that my back felt quite good at the time of traveling from Peter to Crimea and back. The armrest is probably worth the money of considerable, so instead of it between the front chairs, the "Capacity for Smallmen" gambs. The glove box is not equipped with a backlight, apparently, in mind its modest sizes (although there is a regular place for highlighting inside). With the lighting of the cabin, everything is five points. Bright light and smooth shutdown delay - standard for modern cars. There are no special claims to ventilation of the cabin, except for the explicit tendency to fog driving a driver's side glass. I solved this problem with the use of an aerosol "antisupyer". Well, finally, a small spoon of funi. The body of the car does not have a face for towing neither in front, nor from behind. So, if you, God forbid, somewhere stuck, pull the car without risk to break the bumpers will be very problematic.
Engine. Transmission. Chassis. Brake system.
I will not repeat about the technical characteristics and go directly to sensations during operation. The engine does not strain the noise until the tachometer arrow approaches the indicator of 3000 rpm. Those. Acoustic Comfort You will experience smoothly accelerating at about 80 km / h. Pleasure can be extended for some more if a further set of velocity is carried out on the fifth gear. If you prefer more sharp acceleration with the inclusion of "fifth" on "hundred", then the speed set will be quite loudly commented by the engine. In order for Spectra to quickly accelerate, it is necessary to constantly keep the engine speed not lower than 4000 rpm., Otherwise, overclocking will be at the level of domestic "basins". In general, the car very quickly beats the hunt to register "drag racing". This contributes and strangled the euro engine, but in most part the gearbox is still to blame. The transition from the first transmission to the second is especially failed. The work of the clutch is also specific. Clearly catch the moment of clutch is not always possible. But in a calm, leisurely movement, you all do not feel. The programs are turned on clearly and effortlessly, the car goes smoothly and ... boring. However, someone like. The smoothness of the turn, probably, at one time was one of the advantages of the pre-American consumer. But what is good for smooth roads, then not quite suitable for Russian. The notorious smoothness of the course in fact turns on a very tangible and cutting shaking on the beatings of our "Speedweyev". Small cracks and pits suspension "swallows" almost imperceptibly, but very much does not like gentle recesses, entering them with all their kilograms and sharply throwing you. In a word - gallops. Another interesting thing: The front shock absorbers are very sharply on the back. It is manifested by the fact that when the wheel falls into the hole and this fossa is deep enough, or this is not a hole, and a small "road springboard" of which there is plenty of our roads, the shock absorber is completely advanced, and the wheel beats the limiter with all its weight. At the same time, a very unpleasant and strong knock will be distributed. The most interesting thing is that in this case your speed can be different from 5 to 200 km / h. - it does not matter! The output is to be attentive to this particular car feature, otherwise the service will have to visit much earlier than the planned time. In the turns of special rolls, it is not noted, the trajectory car holds quite decently. Brakes (all disk, front - ventilated) are pleased with the presence of ABS, which responds to blocking with a small delay, which gives the driver some liberation in management, but always clearly aligns the car on the trajectory of braking, without giving a chance to drift. We put the brake system solid fourth. By the way, buying and installing for regular discs with a dimension of 195/65R14 indicated in the instruction manual, I do not recommend, because It is wider than the disk, and in practice it turns around the car lying.
Summary.
Summing up, "Spectra" makes an impression more positive than no. This is a decent sample of a budget family car for every day. The engine efficiency will not hit the family budget for gasoline accounts (although in the passport and it is written to pour no lower AI92, - I tried, it is still better than AI95), but that is quite expensive.

Kia Spectra is a five-seater sedan series "C". The release was made from 2000 to 2004 by Korean auto-corporation Kia Motors.

In the Russian Federation, since 2004, the company "Sok" on Izhevsk Automobile Plant "Izhavto" approved a project for the release of KIA spectrum sedans. In 2009, the production of KIA to Izhavto suspended, and since the summer of 2011, the release of a limited sedan batch (1700 pieces) resumed for a short time - in order to fulfill the obligations of Izhavto to Kia Motors.

As the original KIA model was generated in Korea in 1999/2000 under the brand name Mentor, and then release was launched in North America, and for the period 2000/2004, a somewhat modified model Kia Spectra was produced in a sedan body and a five-door hatchback.

Exterior

With a quick inspection of KIA, not particularly impressive - the design of the nineties of the last century. However, it looks like a spectrum in the photo and in the original neat and harmonious: a somewhat long facade with four headlights and a static bumper - an exemplary three-volume abis with a significant bulge compartment, a symotheatherapy with UKAR lamps - A La Jaguar with stop / signals and an antique bumper .

Interior

Internal Kia Spectra Sizes are considerable - its volume is 2.75 m / cube. And in it comfortable place four people. Interior without special excesses: dark plastic, velor seats and decorative walnuts.

In the cabin Kia Spectra tuning without special bellows: the instrument panel is an informative, a simple four-spin steering wheel and a non-discontinuity central console with dissimetric ventilation deflectors, round digital indicators and three climate control levers - all trivially, but unshakable and functionally.

Six airbags and curtains protecting the rear and windshield KIA SPECTRA, belts with fuses and restriction - there is no such abundance of basic equipment even in many cars categories above.

The combination of style and comfort, calm and confidence in motion, space of the cabin, economy, security and maneuverance made the car famous and in demand.
