Bought car used in 2002 with 28000 miles. It was very cheap and, at the time of purchase, I needed a car that could carry three adults. For a compact car the back seat is quite large - bigger than the Civic, for example. Haven't had any major mechanical problems except for some faulty battery cables that cost $80 to fix (almost all labor). The other cable was fixed for free at the Kia dealership. Not really a car I recommend for anyone except if you are poor. :) But if you ARE, then a used Kia can be a great deal. By the time my then girlfriend (now wife) and I purchased the car it had depreciated 40% in only two years.
reliable, fun to drive transportation

I bought the Sephia brand new in 2000 with 6 miles on it. It now has 140,000 miles on it and still going strong. I've abused this car beyond belief during the past six years and it has held up to the challenge. I've had few problems with the engine, which happens to have a lot of potential for modification like its Civic rivals. Overall, it's dependable, good on gas, and performs better than the day I bought it.

Very reliable and dependable automobile, vehicle is very easy to clean, maintain, drive and gas mileage is outstanding. Vehicle is comfortable, and is very acceptable on long trips. Trunk space is acceptable. The only negative comment is there is no place to set a coffee cup, or soda, without the gear shift or emergency brake being in the way. CD player exceptional, rear defroster really works well. Price of vehicle acceptable for what you get. Tires that came original on the vehicle OK, could be a better tire, original ones seem to dry rot after a couple of years. No noticeable blind spots.
What a hunk of junk

By the time I bought my Sephia new in Sept 2000, Consumer Reports had already slapped the tag worst car ever made on it. Had to have the fuse box in the engine compartment replaced because it melted. Annual brake work, emergency brake cable snapped, sun visor spring snapped, inside driver door handle snapped, battery died, new tires every 18 months, it's LOUD, struts were in dire need of replacement at the time I dumped it. Thankfully I had a base model, or I'm sure I'd be sitting here reporting A/C, automatic transmission, and power lock/window problems, too.
This is a great car

I bought this car 9 months ago and have loved it since. The dealership I bought it from overcharged me, but that's okay... I could've bought a honda for more and gotten less. This car is well worth the money, and despite other reviews I've 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.
