Used 2000 Kia Sephia Consumer Reviews
Cheap
I have had this car for a while now since 2003. I have had to do some minor repairs. I have also driven this car all over. It's a cheap car. You get what you pay for. I still have it and it still gets me from point a to b. I accidentally hit the garage with it once all down the side. It's only cosmetic and it still runs.
don't buy a kia
Bought a kia used it had 37k & remaining 5yr/60k warranty In 6 mo and 15 k it needed a new trans The Kia dealer refused to work on the car b/c I didn't have proof of maintenance on the trans at 30k b4 I owned it. they wouldn't take care of the work for me. after a call was placed to kia consumer affairs they informed me that the trans had already been replaced at 35k. Now at 58k my car is back again b/c a rod blew right throught the engine They are trying to get out of covering the car under the warranty Needless to say I am not driving this car again after it is fixed and in my lifetime will I ever buy a Kia again
Good little car for the money
I drove this car as a commuter car 100 miles a day round trip. Rear defrost, radio, and the blower motor have gone out. The rear brakes squeal like mad, even when new and the E-brake sticks. Timing belt went out at 100,000. Front wheel bearings are pretty loose. The only thing is, I only paid $3000 for it. Other reviewers seem to of been expecting a Honda or even a Toyota. This car is neither. Its a Kia and it is cheaply made (big surprise!), but if you are willing to put up with some minor annoyances, this car will get you from point A to Point B at least til 100,000 miles. I've probably only spent about $1000 in unusual maintainance. I consider it a great investment.

This car is the best car i drove. when u are accelerating u can hear the gears changing automatically. so it seems like you are in a racing car. Love this Car.
Killed In Action
Dealership can't repair clutch properly. The floor mats have worn through in less than 20K miles. Gas Mileage is good but the rest is just a CHEAP car.
