1997 Kia Sephia LS review from North America
"I'll never love another KIA as I have loved Sophia, my Sephia"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My spark plugs and coils were JUST changed about 2 days ago and before that, the rear brakes froze up a bit, but nothing unsafe...
General comments?
I will never love another car as I have loved my KIA.
It has gotten me through cold winters and hot summers safely and reliably.
For a teenager to have, this car is nothing, but perfect... most get banged up pretty quickly because they're all new drivers, but KIAs are cheap to buy, cheap to run and cheap to fix.
This car, for the 4 years I had it, was the best automotive investment my family has ever made. For a car to survive winters in Buffalo and my personal driving ability is the most amazing thing about this car!
