2000 Kia Sephia LS review from North America
"A cheaply manufactured piece of junk"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The molding on the door fell off twice within the first six months.
The master cylinder started leaking at 20,000 miles and had to be replaced.
The brakes squeak.
The lock on the back seat passenger side broke at 2,000 miles.
The car does not switch into reverse easily.
General comments?
The only thing going for this car is its looks.
It is very poorly made.
It's simply a case where you get what you pay for.
