2000 Kia Sephia review from North America
"A pile of crap"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Everything has gone wrong. The car is a pile of crap.
Transmission problems, dealer can't solve them.
I have electrical problems.
The hardware on the car is the cheapest around. The rearview mirror fell off, I pulled the door handle off the door.
Generally there are creaks, groans with the car that shouldn't be on a new car.
General comments?
This is by far the worst car ever made. I will never, ever buy a Kia again.
The car is slow, noisy, and cheap.
The car ends up costing more money because of the problems and missing work, as the car breaks down.
