2001 Kia Sephia LS review from North America
"We get no respect"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
CV shaft started making noise, needs replacing.
It also has an oil leak, but that I think is my fault. I took the pan off to clean out the trash and I think I might have not replaced it correctly.
The dash is popped up due to sun damage.
General comments?
The Sephia is a lot spunkier than I would have thought. Yeah it has its problems, but what car doesn't. I love my Sephia.
