1999 Kia Sephia review from North America
"The only thing worse than this piece of junk is the dealer that sells them"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This car has had 4 transmissions
The car would accelerate upon hitting the brakes
This section isn't big enough to handle the number of problems with this "car"
General comments?
The only thing worse than this piece of trash is the KIA dealer that sold it to me. After the fourth transmission the dealer refused to honor the warranty.
This is a lousy excuse for a car.
It will be more expensive to own since you will be constantly renting another car while this is being fixed. But don't worry after being fixed it'll break down again.
