2000 Kia Sephia LS review from North America

"Car sucks"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

At 340000 miles it needed tune up.

Same day it failed to start and then needed fuel pump.

Same day as the fuel pump it needed a new head.

Dealer put used head in and when I got it back same day started knocking again.

Also radio didn't work after being in the shop for a week.

After used head they put a new head on and it was still knocking so they had to put a new small block engine in it.

After new engine, started to have trouble with fuel injector.

After fuel injectors started clogging, had to have fuel lines flushed several times.

Check engine light still comes on occasionally, dealer told me not to worry about it unless it never goes back off.

Also right drivers window seal is broken.

Passengers side sun visor is broken.

Console is broken.

Had to have new brakes before 30,000 miles.

General comments?

I will never own another kia in my lifetime and advise people not to buy from Kia.

Cheap cars good warranty, but you will need it because it will be in the shop all the time.
