1998 Kia Sephia LS review from North America
"My number one reason to cry"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had to replace my spark plugs and the wires.
I had to replace the brakes within the first 3 months and I think it is time for the brakes to be fix again.
The over drive on my car has gone on me.
My reverse is completely shot, I have to actually shift it back and forth until I hear it click.
My seat has a rip in it and all the other seats look worn down.
The carpets are worn out
My lights had to be straightened twice.
It takes about a min to start, it sounds as if someone is trying to chock the life out of it.
General comments?
I will never buy a
Kia again and I feel bad for anyone who has one.
The car makes me want to run and cry, every morning I wake up and prey it is going to start.
