1999 Kia Sephia LS review from North America
"I love my Sephia, and wouldn't trade it for anything!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Clutch gave in at 150,000 miles.
Catalytic converter stopped up, and had to be replaced at 150,000 miles.
But "NOTE" I took 7 years and 150000 miles for that to happen!
General comments?
So far, the only problem I've had with my Sephia is that, I had to replace the catalytic converter and clutch, but have had the car for right at 8 years and have had no other problems.
Not everyone has issues with this car; I know several individuals that love the car, I would buy 3 or 4 more if I had to!
