My brakes weny on me after 30,000.
The wires to the engine needed to be reconnected.
My over drivw had to be replaced.
A lot of dents and dinks had to be popped out.
A huge ripe in the driver's seat.
I know that most reviews made on the Kia Sephia are bad, but I have to give the car a lot of credit. My Sephia really held up for the price I paid for it and it was well worth the money I paid for it. I would also like to add I owe my Kia my life. Just two weeks ago I got into a head on car accident, and my car did exactly what is was suppose to do. The protective glass help the window shatter in a way that it didn't fly at me in huge chunks. The hood bent the way it was suppose to and the side impact beams also did their job. Also to add the my seat belt locked into place and my air bag came out on impact. You might not like the Kia for its little problems, but to know someone got into an accident that was classified as "serious" and all I got was a bruise on my knee you might understand and trust Kia. I owe my life to my Kia, and tomorrow I am going to pick up my brand new 2002 Kia Spectra and every time someone calls it a lemon, I am going to say "well this lemon has already saved my life once".
Hi there,
I am really glad to know that the Kia Sephia is a safe vehicle, I really appreciate your feedback on it. :)
When I first got my car there were so many problems with it. Brakes, putting in gas, air conditioning, my lights and a billion other things wrong with it. When it came to my accident, that little Kia saved my life. I was in a head on crash going about 40 miles an hour, when another car came from a side street and cut me off. There was no time to stop or move out of the way. So of course it hit pretty hard. Although my car was totaled, it saved my life. Sure I was banged up, but the air bags and seat belts worked, which was the biggest thing, especially for a car that is 11 years old. Police officers and doctors both told me that the little crappy Kia, I hated.. saved my life. I'm in the same boat as the person above me. Go Kia!
I agree with that.. although my Kia Spectra is a lemon, but it saved my life with its ABS and braking system.. I could brake just in time to avoid a lorry...
Thanks Kia.
