Love my economy car
I have driven my car for three years and so far it has been wonderful to me. I have kept doing my normal maintenance and the performance has been satisfying to me.
Kia is made by Coke can
i have been driving Kia Sephia for 3 years. After first 10 months (20000 miles), the battery went to death. at 36000 miles, the water pump had leakage. front brake rotors were changed at 56000 miles. there are tints all over my cars. Exterior is made by Coke can.
Piece of S%#$ car
I have had this car for 2 years now and I've had more trouble with it than I have with anything I have ever owned. these forign cars a really a piece of S@#*. The check engin light has been on for about 4 months and we take real good care of the car.
it's reliable despite some issues
I purchased this car from a friend at the dealership used and so far this is the most reliable car I owned. The check engine loves to stay on no matter what you try to fix. I've had the transmission problems and all but just replaced a sensor and seems to work for now. I've had bad luck with cars but this is the best car I've ever had. It will get you from point a to point b. It's a budget car for sure. You get what you pay for. Cheap body as well wouldn't hold up in a crash
Too many flaws, cheaply made
I've owned one since '99. Needs too many major repairs from $300 to $600 a pop for a cheap car. Put a $600 "precat", before that cost me $300 to get the lighting system fixed. Something else was wrong and it cost me a fortune (I've since forgotten exactly what) Now the fuel system is clogged and messed up for the 2nd time. The dash warped under the hot sun. Doors freeze solid in winter. Uncomfortable back seats. I would skip Kia brands. They are poorly made and you suffer with the major repair cost. Lousy stereo/cassette system.
