1999 Kia Sephia LX review from North America
"KIA's are starter cars and only starter cars"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
To start, brakes were faulty within the first couple of months. Latches for compartments broke quite easily with virtually no pressure.
General comments?
This has been a good car for my wife. She uses this vehicle to cart the children around as well as run here home business. Lately it has been acting up, but nothing expensive.
