2001 Kia Sephia review from Indonesia
"A junk car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This car was a nightmare to me. Everything seemed went wrong with this car.
Brake system gave me a lot of problems. I changed the brake pads and discs. But it seemed that the metal quality was crap!!.
I changed almost all of the power steering components as leakages were everywhere in the car!!
The engine was very noisy and rough, you can even hear its strange sound from a few meters.
The quality of its interior was very bad.
General comments?
This is a car that was not carefully designed and tested in KIA testing laboratory. Or they do not even have any test facilities?
The car should not be produced since its quality is very bad, even taxi companies here want to sell their KIA sephias to the secondary market.
Resale value drops significantly. You can only buy peanuts with the proceed.
You will loose everything if you buy this car, only problems that you will have.
