2000 Kia Sephia LS review from North America
"Great quick car for little money!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Check Engine Light came on once, disconnected the battery for 10 minutes and it turned off.
General comments?
I drive this car every day, and have gone on four 600 mile road trips with it since I bought it in June. I change the oil every 3000 miles, replaced the fuel filter 5000 miles ago so nothing big at all except for normal wear and tear. I've put a couple performance parts in it to give it more power and speed. Now it's faster, more horsepower, handles like a dream, good on gas and sounds mean with the performance mods I've put in. I really love my car and I wouldn't trade it for any other car in the world! Well... maybe an Aston Martin Vanquish.
