 The Spectra brings the word cheap back 
to the world of inexpensive cars.  From 
fit and finish issues to gas mileage 
that rivals an SUV, the Spectra was 
amazing in its capability to miss every 
expectation we had for it.  Those 
expectations were not high, but we had 
been given hope after our Focus and 
Echo.  The engine was loud and every 
bump was felt through the cheap seats.  
The car did start each time it was 
asked, a point that typically goes 
unnoticed in cars today.  It is 
difficult to say anything else that 
could be considered positive.
