2001 Kia Sephia Kia LS review from North America
"Good introductory car, at a good price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Only problems with the car so far, is that the headlights and instrument panel will dim while I'm driving.
The seat belts will sometimes stick when fitting them into the buckle.
My tires had to be replaced early at about 20,000 miles.
Slow increase in speed when pulling onto the highway.
Wish I had cruise control.
General comments?
I've had the car now for 2 years.
No major problems have come up.
Drives really nice.
Lots of fun since it is a manual.
