What Owners are Saying About the 2001 Kia Sephia
"Great Car"
"I have owned my kia for 6yrs. I have had 1 minor engine fix in this 6yrs. I like Kia's. When I bought this car, I had alot of people say Kia's are bad cars. I am telling you that I would refer the make of a car to anyone."
"Absolutely the worst car ever!"
"I bought this car with only 12.5k miles on it; still smelled new. Immediately there were electrical and transmission issues. The car would start when it wanted to and I had to continusily replace bad fuses. The transmission would randomly change gears on it's own. My mechanic showed me all the metal in the pan when he took it apart and said it was shot...at 15k miles!!! The dash started to peel up by the windshield at about 20k miles. This car was a complete lemon and Kia wouldn't do anything about it because I bought it from a private seller. This car was junk."
"Overall great car for the money!"
"bought off Dealer lot with approximately 20,000 mi, been an excellent daily driver as well as taking trips.with all cars maintenance is important, having owned all major American and Japanese vehicles in my life, this one compares to the best of the best for the money.Would definitely buy another Kia."
