2001 Kia Sephia review from North America
"Put your money in a garbage can, to save your time"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
OK first, Check engine light up NOooooo!
Spark plugs wire burned out, totally the rubber was totally blew off.
Change brakes when I received it. It's OK for 100 000 kms to change the brakes...
Now at 110 000 Kms, I think the compression has run out, OK catalyst.. maybe, don't know... the more I push on the gas pedal, the slower I get :S?!?
General comments?
OK the radio is cool, the speakers suck, but I can live with it.
My first A/C car. OK, I tried it one time before my fatal problem.
I think the car is too heavy for the engine performance.
The transmission is hard to put in speed and has a little wobble.
