1996 Kia Sephia RS review from North America
"Reliable, Affordable Car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had to replace the water pump, and one belt. Passenger side seat is ripping apart. Check engine light loves to come on.
General comments?
It's a fun car, good on gas, and I love driving it. The engine is great, plenty of trunk space.
Considering I paid 1500 for it, I'm very happy.
