NHTSA ROLLOVER RESISTANCE RATING: *  *  *  * 

The Rollover Resistance Rating is an estimate of your risk of rolling over if you have a single vehicle crash. It does not predict the likelihood of that crash. The Rollover Resistance Rating utilizes a "fishhook" maneuver which is a series of abrupt turns at varying speeds to see how "top-heavy" a vehicle is. The more "top-heavy" the vehicle, the more likely it is to roll over. The lowest rated vehicles (1-star) are at least four times more likely to roll over than the highest rated vehicles (5-stars).

2005 Kia Spectra Review
"Spectra is the larger of Kia's two compact cars, and is among the least-expensive vehicles with standard head-protecting curtain side airbags. Spectra slots above Kia's entry-level Rio and is based on the Elantra from Kia's corporate parent, Hyundai. It comes as a sedan and as a 4-dr wagon called the Spectra5. The only engine is Elantra's 138-hp 2.0-liter 4-cyl. Manual transmission is standard, automatic is optional. Sedans offer LX, EX, and SX models. Spectra5 comes in a single trim, and is positioned as a sporty model with a firmer suspension and different interior details. All Spectras have front side airbags, curtain side airbags, and 4-wheel disc brakes. ABS is unavailable on LX models but is optional on other Spectras. Tilt steering wheel, height-adjustable driver seat, and CD audio are standard on all. SX, EX, and Spectra5 add air conditioning, remote keyless entry, and power windows/locks/heated mirrors. Kia shares Hyundai's warranty of 5-years/60,000-mi. basic, 10/100,000 powertrain, and 5/unlimited roadside assistance. "
