2000 Kia Sephia review from North America
"227,000 and still going!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rotors go bad quickly, tie rod, power steering pump.
General comments?
I am still driving my KIA with 227,000 miles on it!!! If you keep up with regular maintenance you will be fine. I drive my car 125 miles round trip everyday for the last 4 years to school and back. I still get 38 miles to a gallon. Only problem is that I had to add a heater core because it doesn't like northern Wisconsin winters so I have to keep it plugged in. Otherwise great car, if you take care of it.
