2000 Kia Sephia LS review from North America
"Not worth it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The headlights often go out when turning left.
The parking brake light stays on almost all of the time.
It will not start in cold weather.
General comments?
This car just feels cheap and unreliable.
It vibrates and does not drive smoothly at all.
This is not a good car for highway driving.
It does not get up to speed quickly.
It just feels downright scary to drive this car in the rain or snow. It handles very poorly.
The seats are pretty uncomfortable.
