2000 Kia Sephia LS review from North America
"Pretty good for 12G"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The seal on the front windshield came off after one year, the dealer promptly replaced it.
The alignment or something is very wrong right now. A very rough ride right now.
General comments?
This car cost 12000 dollars brand new, and the cost of maintaining it has been almost nothing. I change the oil every 5000 miles, it gets about 28 miles to the gallon, but has now began to run very roughly and I may trade it in. It's probably only worth 500 dollars, which is bad.
