  Pretty Good Car! - 2000 Kia Sephia
  By American Eagle - December 15 - 2:00 am

  Even though this Kia Sephia isnt a Mitsubishi Eclipse or something off the Fast and Furious, it is overall a GREAT vehicle, and will get me where I need to go. I plan on putting an aluminum wing on it and making it look very nice. Just a few little things mess up every once in a while, but since i have had it for a year, the only problem i have had on it is the coils (spark plug coils) go out, and it was only a 200.00 fix, and it runs better than it has - i believe that is the way it came from the dealership, but other than that it is a great car, and recommend it to anyone who is thinking about it.

  Practical and reliable - 2001 Kia Sephia
  By April Vawter - August 12 - 10:00 am

  I purchased this vehicle because of its warranty after being talked-down-to by several used car dealers. It gets over 32 mpg, has lots of pick up and speed. The lumbar support helps my bad back where my former car, a Sable, left me uncofortable after a couple of hours. It has never needed a repair, and fills every need I currently have, including heavy mountain driving and coping with high gas prices. The only two down-sides I can think of are: the body seems to dent easily and it loses some power when the AC is on. Overall, its a great vehicle for the price and practical as well as comfortable and nicely designed.

  I love this car. I originally bought a 1998 m type sephia and it was crap, always in the shop. But because I couldnt afford anything else, I decided to give Kia a second try. I bought an 01 Sephia LS with 10 miles and still drive it today with over 93K miles! This car has never let me stranded and always starts in the morning. I plan to keep this car forever! Im really happy to drive it everday!

  Great Value - 2001 Kia Sephia
  By fourthrowe - January 7 - 12:00 pm

  My father purchased the vehicle new, then gave it me Jan. of 05. Hes never had any major problems with it and neither have I. In fact, with 157k miles on it, the original clutch holds strong, and the vehicle runs like a champ. For some strange reason, the windows will ALWAYS be foggy / dewy in the mornings even when other cars arent. It has seen 3 rather expensive starters. There is no aftermarket (generic) for most parts so expect to go to the dealer for everything. The sheetmetal is thin and easily dented but that gives it the performance. Mazda Protege engine, Getrag designed tranny, not a bad setup. Dont buy a new Kia unless you plan to drive it forever, they are worthless for resale.

  My Kia - 2000 Kia Sephia
  By IloveMy2000KiaSephia - February 16 - 5:10 pm

  I got my KIA as a birthday present in April of this year. (A lot of people laughed) I learned to drive (you know the kind of wear that does) in it. I have YET to be in a more comfortable-to drive, car. The only problems I have encountered are: exhaust leak, transmission fluid was low and it was hard to find WHERE to put the TM fluid. Sophie-my Sephia-loves to go fast. She runs her best at 80-90+ mph. When first starting her for the day, its quickest to just go about 70/80. If not it takes about 10 miles. A/C needs charging. My cd player is broken. The hood has a few minor dents-flimsy metal-door handle seems to be loose on pass. side. All in all, she does what I need and more. I love my Kia.

  I like it. - 2001 Kia Sephia
  By Alb89 - January 24 - 10:26 pm

  I bought this car for 500 dollars and thought it would just be my A to B car, but it has actually taken me further! Very reliable, A/C and heat works, but it does make the driving slow down when turned on. Not sure why but it isnt that big of a deal. Overall good car. Only thing needed changed was spark plugs.

  This is a great car - 2000 Kia Sephia
  By bobdabuilder - January 14 - 2:00 am

  I bought this car 9 months ago and have loved it since. The dealership I bought it from overcharged me, but thats okay... I couldve bought a honda for more and gotten less. This car is well worth the money, and despite other reviews Ive read, has been extremely reliable. My only complaint is that some of the plastic parts in the interior were poorly designed and are already broken. Remember to change your oil every once in a while and stop ruining these great cars.

  2001 Kia Sephia- A good car & good price - 2001 Kia Sephia
  By orion - February 17 - 10:00 am

  Im a satisfied Kia customer. My car brand new with taxes & fees was about $12000. If youre deciding between a cheap new car and one that costs just as much used then buying new is well worth it. My first 3 cars were used, that meant in addition to having a car payment there was also the repair bill every month. Sure newer cars have a larger insurance cost but with no down time, meaning you dont have to constantly wonder if your car is going to make it to work or school every day. There a dozen or so cheap cars out there. The Hyundai Accent was another one I considered, but stay away from Dodge/Plymouth Neons. My Kia is dependable.
