1998 Kia Sephia review from North America
"This car is a death trap."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I started having transmission problems the minute I drove it off the lot.
I was told it was that my gas cap was loose.
When the mileage was around 60,000 miles, the overdrive died and the transmission wouldn't shift.
General comments?
This car is only good for one thing, the junk yard.
The company that made this car doesn't care.
