I have looked at the other reviews and have come to realize that Kia makes some really great cars and some really bad cars. I guess I lucked out because I got this one at 7,000 and have had little problem with it. It drives well, has good steering and great gas mileage. My only problem is that my foot falls asleep on long distance drives (it's a standard) and the radio doesn't have an automatic search button. Otherwise I love it.

I bought this car last year from a woman on Craigslist who she was sad to sell it, and I quickly found out why! I paid less than $400 for it with 180k. I did not have to do any major work at all! I do a lot of back & forth driving & this car was perfect for me & my child.Great gas milege,the car was very well cared for before I got it&I kept up w reg maintenece.Only issue I had was rear defrost didnt always work. AC needed charging.The cup holder design is terrible,as others have posted.Today,it has 201,982 mls & will be heading to the scrap yrd,sadly it has a minor crack in head & w this many mls,I am getting something else,but am sad to see it go!I def say YES to Kia, we had a great run!

This car has about the same quality level and price performance as the early toyota's did in the early 1980's. I paid 10,335 out the door.

The Sephia is Absolutely wonderful

My 2000 Kia Sephia has never been anything but wonderful to me. Putting up with my cheapness atitude. The low grade unleaded AMPM gas, going 1000's of miles beyond my oil change needed, forgetting to put water in it, going over big pot holes, going on long car trips constantly. The sephia treats this poor college student like every car should. Absolutely superb performance everytime I turn that key.
