2000 Kia Sephia NA review from North America
"What the Honda Civic was 15 years ago. It will become more popular"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had to have new rotors and pads installed just a few months after buying it.
General comments?
The ride is very quiet and very little outside noise is heard.
I have had no problems finding replacement parts (i.e. wipers, headlights, basic components)
The car is very responsive in both acceleration and handling.
The seats are very comfortable.
The dashboard and instrument panels are very well laid out and easy to reach.
