2000 Kia Sephia GS review from North America
"Sigh. It's my first car...that's my excuse. It does have great gas mileage which is great"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Car doors freeze up and fail to close in cold weather.
Sheet metal dents easily on doors.
Console is broken. It's so ugly... the plastic warped and cracked beyond repair. I assume it happened because of the intense heat in Texas.
The engine light stays on and nothing is wrong with the car. It's always "the computers" fault. 0_O.
The brakes never have held very well. When I ease down on the brakes I often feel like the car is not going to stop in time. Apparently nothing is ever wrong with the brakes.
General comments?
The seats are very uncomfortable.
Very dim "bright" lights. Bad for seeing on back roads and on country roads.
The car is so lightweight. The winds often push me off the road causing me to have to drive at embarrassingly low speeds on the freeway.
The car hesitates when trying to accelerate on the highway/freeway.
