1999 Kia Sephia STD review from North America
"A very good car for the price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The clutch pedal spring broke at 32,500 miles.
General comments?
This is car is very reliable, and will get you any where you want to go.
Although, the car is not very quick off the lights, it makes up for it in third gear on into overdrive. The little car has great power reserved in fifth gear, even at eighty miles per hour the car will pin you back into the seat.
This is car is very dependable and I would buy another anytime.
