2000 Kia Sephia LS review from North America
"Awful"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission died, I couldnt shift out of first, then once moving, I could only shift to 5th and reverse.
Speakers are giving up.
Horns barely work.
Car shakes when braking.
General comments?
Okay, I guess having a Toyota supra before this doesn't help the car at all, but c'mon. Its slow. I get scared when I get on the on ramp for the freeway, I gotta build up good speed.
I barely got the car, and the transmission gave out, I went to the dealer and asked to fix it, they haggled me about the warranty saying this part and that part isn't covered. (they said it was the clutch, but any kid off the street woulda known it was the gearbox or the transmission that was messed up)
