What's inside

Consider the Spectra and Spectra5's interior layout to be simple and logical. There are handy storage provisions on the doors and between the front seats, primary controls are placed within easy reach and feature mostly large clearly-marked dials, while the gauges are large and placed directly in the driver's view. The look is functional – a vertical instrument panel blends in with the soft contours of a rather plain dash. Among the features found standard on every Spectra/Spectra5 are a CD player, iPod jack, tilt steering wheel, tachometer, front center armrest, and six airbags. Other standard safety items include a tire pressure monitor and optional ABS (SX only).
