1999 Kia Sephia LX review from North America
"The WORST car on the market"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had the brakes replaced several times in the first 2 years since I have owned the vehicle. They never worked properly, and still don't.
The battery also died within the last 2 years.
I've had it towed so many times for various problems, thank god for AAA.
It rarely starts on the first try, especially in the colder months.
And now with 40,000 miles on it, the transmission has gone.
General comments?
I would not recommend these vehicles to anyone.
Do yourself a favor and steer clear of these vehicles, otherwise they are a money pit!
