  • Deceiving - 2001 Kia Sephia
    By -

    Thought I was getting a great deal. After the first year everything went downhill. My car has had a new transmission, a new alternator, and now theyre not sure if it needs a new starter or what. Great warrantey except it takes a week for them to figure out what is wrong with it. Also, if the least little thing hits the car (rock,etc.) it leaves major dents. My mother ownen a differnt Kia and traded it in after 3 months due to problems it had. Please, some one take this peice of junk!

    I bought this vehicle new. We needed basic car, not fancy. Manual tranny is a plus as we expected to move to the snow belt. My records since purchase have shown consistent 31-34 mpg for all driving. First major repair was brakes at 85,000 miles. Second was ball joints at 127,000 miles. Now at 149,000 and going strong; however body is showing rust and systems are starting to fail. Great car for us and worth the minimal $$. Not for all drivers, but regular maintenance gives solid transportation.

  • Glad they are out of Production - 2001 Kia Sephia

    Honestly, I thought we were getting a good deal. Really cheap...SO NOT WORTH IT! Since we got the car we have put about $6000 in repairs. Not only have we replaced the ENTIRE brake line once, we have also replaced the roters twice, the battery twice the spark plugs about 12 times, the alternator, a cylinder, the fan belt (4 times in less than 4 years). The driver side door no longer works (leaving the driver to climb over the seat and try their luck at the passenger door which only opens from the outside. When its cold the doors dont close so you have to wait for the car to heat up enough to close them or hold them while going down the road. The car is quite literally a death trap.

  • GOOD CAR, DECENT PRICE - 2001 Kia Sephia

    WEVE HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR. WE TAKE IT BACK TO DEALER EVERY 3,000 MILES FOR UPKEEP, AND WE HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO COMPLAINTS. ITS COMFORTABLE AND RELIABLE.
