1999 Kia Sephia review from North America
"A very reliable car for 10 grand"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Brakes and both cv boots both around 40,000 miles.
General comments?
Overall I can't complain about the car. It was my sisters car at first and then my parents gave to me in 12th grade. I've had it ever since. Drove it across the country from Saint Petersburg Fl to San Diego Ca where I'm stationed. Never and any major problems with the car, the only thing I've done is change the oil every 3,000 miles. It does have a slight leak with the coolant, but nothing major. I just have to fill it every 6 months. I'm very satisfied with the car.
