Are Kia Spectras reliable?

Question:
I'm considering getting a used Kia Spectra, a 2000 or later model, just as a daily driver to work and stuff. I'm just curious as to how reliable these cars are. I know they've had problems in the 90's, but I'm hoping they've turned things around. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

i own a repair shop ,and been at this for 36 years,they are very reliable cars,they never give any major problems unless they have been abused,and that's why most people complain about them they cant treat them like crap ,and expect them to hold up,if there taken good care of like a normal car should be,they will last as long if not longer than the average car will,but over all id recommend one of those as much as i would anything else,good luck with it,hope this helps.
