This car is great if you like cheap car that you can rely on. I had reservation about buying it but after 4 years I love it and I've had little to know problems. This car will walk thru the snow and ice and frisky when on the highway. Great young crowd looking to show off there car but do not have alot of money. Very fun car to drive(manual) and will turn heads if you keep it clean.

THE KIA SEPHIA HAS BEEN A SOMEWHAT RELIABLE CARE EXCEPT FOR THE FUEL PUMP PROBLEMS THAT THE CAR HAS EXPERIENCE SINCE BUYING IT. MY INTERIOR DASHBOARD HAS A CRACK IN IT BY THE FRONT WINDSHIELD. THE CARE IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD(PURE INTERIOR MATERIALS). THE INTERIOR SEATS HAVE FADED AND THE CRAFTMANSHIP OF THE VEHICLE IS ALL AROUND POOR. SO FAR THE CAR HAS HAD JUST MINOR MECHANICAL DEFECTS, IN WHICH THE DEALERSHIP WAS ABOUT TO FIX WITHOUT CHARGING ME.

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
Cheap but surprisingly reliable

This has been the most basic of basic cars: no A.C., manual windows and locks, and no power steering with the manual stick. Mechanically, other than routine maintenance, very little has gone wrong with this car in 12 years and 140,000 miles. I've been through 3 starters and had to replace both the front left and front right axles (totaling about $800 for both, including labor charges). Even now, the engine is still going strong and burns little-to-no oil between changes. Given its age and mileage, I've been somewhat surprised at its reliability. Cosmetically, the interior dash has curled around the air-vents (common problem), and the paint is beginning to peel on the front bumper.
65 K and counting

I purchased this as a gas saver for the wife (35mpg). In 65 thousand miles I have replaced rotors and pads with parts from Kragen. (No more brake problems). Had to replace the horn, push the heater cable back on the control lever, lube & oils. That's it. Better than most other vehicles I've owned. Liked the Sephia so much we just bought a Kia Sorento (kept the Sephia).
