1998 Kia Sephia review from North America
"The best for the money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My timing belt broke at 90,000 miles and my alternator went out at 80,000.
General comments?
I don't why people hate Kias; my 98 Sephia has 121,000 and has been the most reliable car I have ever owned.
