2001 Kia Sephia LS review from North America
"A very good car for the money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The tires wore out a bit early, at about 20,000 miles.
The headlights tend to dim slightly.
I had to replace the brake pads after the second year.
General comments?
Overall, the repairs have been minor and the car gets great gas mileage.
The seats could be be a little more comfortable on long drives, but I barely notice any discomfort driving around town.
Make sure to invest in cruise control or you will pay dearly on drives lasting more than a few hours.
