1998 Kia Sephia LS review from North America
"Standard car (11,000.00)"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had the car since new.
The original manufactures battery die at.35, 000 miles.
The front passenger light bulb quite around 87,000 miles.
General comments?
With proper simple maintenance, replacing oil, air filter, gas filter, tire rotation, brakes and proper liquids inspection and refilling the vehicle has performer beyond what I ever would have expected for a 11,000 dollar car.
The handling is on a normal level. (its only 11,000.00 OK!
My KIA has outdated most of my buddies new and used cars, they are at their second car.
I have taken this car through dirt, muddy and in some places were there is no road, and since I am in Florida I have taken this car in flood conditions were buses and small pickup were been push and towed out off.
I am very happy with this car and if you are good to your car it will return the favor back a hundred times over.
