1999 Kia Sephia review from North America
"Not a bad car for the price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front brakes needed to be replaced within 6 months of new purchase.
The "Check Engine" light came on at 25,000 miles. Diagnostics checks at the dealer ($80) found that my gas cap was not tight.
General comments?
It is a little noisy on the highway, but has adequate power.
Everything about this car is "no frills" but it has proven to be reliable and economical.
