1997 Kia Sephia LS review from North America
"Well if you want a car that will take you from home to work and not too far away it's an OK car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
We just got the car and I don't know if it was worth it. The check engine light doesn't go off sometimes.
The overdrive is sometimes flashing.
You have to press hard on brakes.
The dashboard looks as if sun had burned it.
General comments?
The car runs really good otherwise.
The car parts are very expensive.
We thought we had to buy a sensor for it because the air conditioner was not cooling and we found out the car part will cost us over $300.
