 We bought this Spectra used at 32,000.  Following year we put in a new clutch.  We had 4 CV joints put in and now the Rack and Pinion is gone. Car is at 64000 miles.  The dealership wants $1200 to replace.  Called Kia and they offered no help.  Have spent tons of money on this car and it always makes funny noises.  I found a friend to replace rack with a used one for $250.00.  I am stuck with this car for now but would never buy anything from KIA.
