KIA Sephia-Pretty good

I had one of these for driving to school and work. It wasnt real fancy, but thats fine because if I wanted luxury I wouldve bought a cadillac or something of that nature. The KIA Sephia is a simple commuter car, nothing more or less. Its got a basic 4cyl and doesnt have a whole lot of horse power but it'll get you where youre going. My Sephia was undyingly reliable and never put me in a pinch after all the abuse it took from me learning how to drive manual on it and generally just driving the thing like I stole it. I reccomend the KIA as a first car or for anyone who needs a commuter thats reliable and gets good MPG.
I think I like it

I mostly like the car, it has some parts and accessories that seem very cheap to me. It is good on gas. Every time I am near time for an oil change, I run through oil a lot. The brakes seem to squeak all the time especially when it rains. I even put new brakes on and it still squeaks, sometimes very loudly. When I first got the car it needed a new blower motor. I had the dealer put in one and there was a problem with it making a lot of noise. They replaced it two more times. Now it's been a year and I have to replace the blower motor again.

I enjoy the handling of my Sephia. Turning around in small areas is a snap. The seats are nicely padded. The comfort of driving it long distances without feeling stiff has been wonderful. Accelerating onto a highway is great. The trunk really holds a lot. Passengers have felt comfortable. It is great on gas. It has been very reliable. I just love driving it. My husband and grown daughter enjoy driving it when I will let them. ;>)

I got my KIA as a birthday present in April of this year. (A lot of people laughed) I learned to drive (you know the kind of wear that does) in it. I have YET to be in a more comfortable-to drive, car. The only problems I have encountered are: exhaust leak, transmission fluid was low and it was hard to find WHERE to put the TM fluid. Sophie-my Sephia-loves to go fast. She runs her best at 80-90+ mph. When first starting her for the day, it's quickest to just go about 70/80. If not it takes about 10 miles. A/C needs charging. My cd player is broken. The hood has a few minor dents-flimsy metal-door handle seems to be loose on pass. side. All in all, she does what I need and more. I love my Kia.

Before I ever owned one, I would have told you (ignorantly, of course) that KIA's were like YUGO's of yesteryear... you know, "you go, but you don't come back." Anyway, I needed some money real quick to get my daughter to college, so I sold my Nissan Maxima. But, I still needed something to drive so I found a 2000 Kia Sephia for $1000. It wasn't the prettiest car I've ever seen, but it has done a good job of getting me from point A to point B. Have not spent much money on it at all and have had it 2 years now. Liked it so good that when our old van pooped out, we bought a 2nd one!

My dad bought me this kia from one of his friends and i have never driven a more horrible car. It goes in the shop for engine problems almost every month. Gas will last me maybe a week not even. And it is rusting horribly. I hate this car. In the winter the door locks freeze and my doors wont shut, i have to drive while holding my doors shut trying not to let them swing open. The car is so noisy, the muffler is loud, just the whole car. It goes 0 to 60 in like five minutes. Not an exaggeration!

I bought this car used with about 70,000 miles on it. I now have 95,000 on the car and I still like it. I've had to replace the complete front brake assembly and had to replace the rear brakes. All of this replacement is a cause of the previous owner neglect. Anyway I like this car a lot, it's very comfortable, gets good gas mileage, and is very reliable. The only mechanical problem I've had is the fuel pump needs to be replaced very soon, and the exhaust is rattling a little. One thing that is extremely annoying is a sharp loud metallic rattle coming from the automatic shifter inside the car. I can't figure out what it is, I just know it's very annoying.
GREAT little car!

This is my first car and I absolutely love it. Every time I get in and turn the key, a huge grin appears on my face. It's peppy, responsive, reliable and very fuel efficient (I average 29 mpg in around-town driving). I have heard horror stories about sephias, but I have yet to have a major problem. I mean, it was tough enough to survive a 16 year old learning to drive stick:P My few complaints are the easily dented body panels, terrible cup holders, cheap tires, and engine noise on the highway (the final drive gear is very low, giving it great acceleration but poor top speed). I may be the butt of a lot of jokes, but when I see my friends' volkswagens, old BMWs and toyotas dying early, I grin

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.

I got this car new. Seven years later, the only problems I've had are replacing the battery after 3 years ($53) and replacing one of the connecting wires (twice, first for $60 after 4 years, then for $110 at another shop after 6 years) because the plastic degraded, caused a short, and told me to 'check engine'. The plastic started degrading before I left the dealer, so the middle console lock, both air/heat grates on the upper dash, and the window sealer have broken. But replacement parts for this car are cheap! A windshield was $212. Handles best at high speeds and has a lot of pep!
Simply Amazing!

This is the third car that I have ever had and all I can say is, wow! This has to be the single most economic car that I have ever owned. I have put 20,000+ miles and not one single problem. Have driven it New Jersey to Florida with no worries. This little speed demon has the right handling, acceleration and packs a mean punch. I do have one complaint about the car though, I can't stop driving it! Highly recommend this car to anyone who wants a fun, reliable, safe, and down right incredible vehicle to own!
Nice car for great price.

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.

Bought the car as a repo, it had 33,000 miles on it. I drove it to New York and back several times, and numerous trips to Texas. The only thing I had to replace on this vehicle until this year was the power steering pump, and normal upkeep items like filters and belts etc. It still hardly uses any oil or other fluids for that matter, had to replace the the rack and pinion this year, but I feel that was due to the rocky roads its driven on on a daily basis. Over all it's the best car I ever owned, and I would highly recommend it. I'm no doubt going to buy another one when this one goes down for good.
Great Car for the money.

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!

What a piece of junk. Poorly made in EVERY sense of the word. Cheap paint, cheap interior, cheap everything. You'd be better off buying a pony. Dashboard warps severely on driver and passenger side. Although it has been a problem for several years Kia REFUSES to do anything about it.

You get what you pay for. In KIA terms, inexpensive means cheaply made. The gas mileage stinks for the car size. This car will nickel-and-dime you to death! The latch on the driver's door has been repaired at least 6 times. The doors freeze and won't shut (if you can even open them) if the temperature dips below 30. The engine is so loud, it sounds like a full-size pick up on the road. The body is cheap. It chips and dents very easily. When you're driving, the doors are like tin foil - you can actually hear the wind outside whistling through the door seal. I will NEVER buy another KIA again. If you need a small, inexpensive car, go for something with more substance.

The vehicle that I bought has given me nothing but problems. After my warranty expired, the check engine light came on and after over $5000 in repairs, it's still on. Had the catalytic converter replaced 3 times, even got a new transmission. Had the fuel filter changed, the coil pack changed 4 times. Changed the spark plugs and numerous other things. The engine diagnostic says that it's the coil pack. But every time it's replaced, the engine light only stays off for a couple of miles.

Maybe I've been lucky, but have over 50K on both of them. Only real problems were an initial coolant leak on thermostat housing (both of them) because of a poor gasket. And one had a bad plug wire. Very happy with the overall reliability and quality for the money spent - $8K and $10K (w/air, side moldings, spoiler) and these were out-the-door prices. I am actually considering buying another, hope it's not a mistake and I was just lucky the first time. From reading all the other comments, I think some people expected Honda quality at Yugo prices.

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.

I bought the car new from the dealership. This car was my first brand new car. I was blind to all that goes into buying a car. If I had to do it again I would not. It ran well for the most part and it did have a roomy interior but the attention to details was lacking. The engine was really loud on the highway and its handling was bad. The body was made of very weak metal that showed the smallest of dings. It seemed to me that alot of quality was comprimised when they were trying to be "economic."

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.

This is the third new vehicle I ever owned. Of the three, this vehicle has been the most dependable. The only drawback is the warranty is not what it is made out to be. I was told if I didn't service the car with all KIA parts, it would not be covered. Needless to say only the Dealership provides these parts at an inflated price. I am happy with the car but very disallusioned with the Dealership and bogus warranty. Carry your warranty book with you as they will try to tell you things aren't covered unless you show them proof from the manual. Customer Service with KIA needs major improvement.

I bought my Kia Sephia new 4 years ago. Not even a year after I had it the computer went bad in it and just shut down in the middle of the road. The customer service is horrible!! Nothing is "covered" under the warranty. It dents easily, the sealant on the windshield comes off, the seatbelts only latch when they want to, and the gear shift gets stuck. I do not recommend these cars at all.

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.

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.

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.

Granted, the body is cheaply made and the paint is very poor, But I did not expect much for the price. I bought it for disposable transportation. It runs very well, is comfortable adnfairly roomy. I drive the living daylights out of it and it has never given me any problems. i did replace the very bad original tires and spark plug wire, but other than that, I change the oil, put gas in it and go.

I have owned my Kia since 2001 and I love it! It's been wonderful and I haven't had any major problems with it. Yes...there are some things that I would change about the model. For instance, the paint quality could be better and the brakes tend to squeal. BUT... the car has been great! My car now has 72,000 miles on it and I intend to put 70,000 more. The Kia dealership/ maintenance dealer is most helpful and accommodating! GO KIA!

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.

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.

The car has had its share of breakdowns and I will be glad to get my new car next week. You can feel the bumps on the road and the rubber around all four doors is coming off. I tried to get a CD player and the panel would not come off because the screws would not budge. Lately performance has been okay but I have not forgotten about the past.

I have had trouble with it from the start. My transmission went 3 weeks after I bought it. Good thing it was under warranty. So far I have had it for 2 and a half years and the alternator, blower, battery, brakes, wiper motor have all gone at least once some twice. I have to get new tires every 9 months front only due to it can't keep an alignment. Brakes sqeak no matter if they are new or old. Door looks freeze in the winter. Also doesn't handle right in the snow. Right now my car is off the road either due to a blown motor or possibly the catalytic converter. It has been nothing but trouble.

Bought the car used in 2004 with 50K miles on it. It was really cheap, and so I'm fairly satisfied with it since it proved to be pretty dependable. The brakes are very squeaky when cold, i.e. just after starting the car, but they behave normally after a mile or so. Minor annoyances so far were a faulty battery cable connection, and a defective spark plug wire that cost about $100 to fix. Wouldn't hesitate to buy one again.

I bought this car new in 2000,the first things to go before 400 miles were the battery twice.Then the alternator the rubbers around the doors is constantly coming off,oh how about the one around the front windshield that blew out on the highway the second day we had it. the color just rubbed off when you hand wash it These cars were built cheap it has no pick up don't try to merge into traffic from a ramp because you will not make it there are no pick up power. i have a 1995 Toyota Corolla with 226,875 miles and the KIA SEPHIA is no match to it.last but not least gas mileage is lousy for a four cylinder we went trade it with only 48,000 miles recently they only want to give us $1,000.

Within the first year of purchasing this car the battery died. Metal exterior very susceptible to dings and scratches that wouldn't normally happen on cars like Hondas. Major brake repairs nearly every year, costing me about $300+ a pop. TERRIBLE handling in snow. Interior parts (heat pipe) got loose. Transmission problems with only 60K miles on it (luckily it was still under warranty). Really good on gas, but that doesn't make up for the thousands of dollars you'll have to make in repairs and maintenance (and I'm not talking about your average oil change). Also note, I was in an accident and it was TOTALLED only going 30 mph.

I bought the car in November; as soon as I drove off the lot I broke down. The car had a bad alternator. Luckily the dealer replaced it at no cost to me even though I bought it with no warranty. It ran great till two months later the transmission blew without warning; no prior transmission slipping or anything. With the bill running $2200.00 I was out of luck as far as the dealer was concerned. I only paid $1500.00; good deal at the time. I wouldn't pay $3700.00 for it.

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?

I have owned my Sephia for 3 years and 45,000 miles have never had any problems or had any real repairs to perform (other than scheduled maintenance). It has always been reliable and responsive. I had looked at a number of other cars but this one was the best deal and has proven to be a winner. Only real problem I have had is that people like to back into the car with SUVs but I think that is my bad luck and won't blame KIA. I would definately buy another car from them.

The drive and passenger doors power lock freeze up in the winter making it impossible to get in or out of. The car is very light which makes it hard to handle in the snow or ice little to no traction even with winter tires. The fuel economy is great though. This car runs the best in the summer. The car heats up and cools down very quickly never had a problem with the a/c or the heat.
this car awful

This car is horrible. My dad drives an SUV and get more gas mileage than mine does. I have had to replace everything on this car. I would not recommend it to anyone. The cup holders only hold cans and half the time they end up spilling.
