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.
Don't Buy!

I had problems from the beginning. The car overheated at 200 miles. Started with 16 mpg, but after several gas treatments and cleaning fuel injectors never got better that 19 mpg. All parts are made cheaply. I've had MAJOR repairs: CV joints (65,000 mi), transmission (75,00 mi), ECM (90,000 mi). This doesn't include the starter, water pump, valve cover gasket, rotors, and several batteries. I can't wait to trade out! Save yourself the grief - don't buy one.

My first car. It had problems with the breaks squeaking from the day I picked it up. Didn't have any problems with it until recently. It's been having problems starting. The engine will rev, but it won't fire. The local dealership doesn't quite know what's wrong. I think it's time to say goodbye. Which is sad since it's got less than 70,000 miles on it. I'll try to afford a Civic this time.
The Warranty Was A Necessity

I bought my 2000 Kia Sephia new from the Kia Dealership in Grand Rapids and my first transmission went out before 30,000 miles. I am currently on my fifth transmission. I have had the exhaust system replaced and countless brake jobs. The first four transmissions were replaced in Kalamazoo (while I was at college), and the service was less than stellar. I was never offered a rental while the work was being done on the car. While living back in Grand Rapids I must say that the customer service has been much better however the car continues to be a gamble. Will it get me where I need to go?

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.
