1999 Kia Sephia review from North America
"The longer it lasts, the better a deal it is"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Breaks squeaked. Rear view mirror rattled tremendously before I bought some epoxy to glue it still. Entire dash board resonates vigorously above 80mph--it's my reminder to slow down.
General comments?
The only really bad thing about this car was how it shakes, mentioned above. It is very clunky, with cheap parts and a very hollow feel. But it was well worth my money, as I bought it used for $2900.
