1999 Kia Sephia review from North America
"Think about it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had this car for a very short period of time. But before I purchased this vehicle it had a new transmission at 35000 miles, new rotors, a new shift (even though it's an automatic) and a new muffler, windshield wiper fluid pump. the fact that it needed all these things so soon says a lot about the car. It was extremely cheap and the only way to get something so cheap is to decrease the quality. Not saying that it's a bad car-it has real good acceleration, good gas mileage. It dents like a tin can.
