To KIA or Not to KIA That is the Question: The 2001 Sephia Kia

Date of Review:  May 2, 2001
The Bottom Line: For the price, warranty, gas mileage it could be a good first car for a first car buyer. Concerns about the class action suit for the 1998-2000 Sephia Kia.
Review: What seems like a dorky title is factually far more intense than it appears. We watch these relatively new vehicles come out, for example the Yugo a failed automotive venture, Daewoo is beginning to look a little shaky (a little?). Watching the...

I thought this was supposed to be better than the old car?

Date of Review:  Apr 11, 2001
The Bottom Line: Wait until there is more info on this before you buy it. At this point I cannot recommend this to anyone.
Review: My roommate recently purchased a Kia Sephia 2001. She was replacing a 16 year old car for only a few reasons. The old car did not have working A/C or Heat, the engine would shake real bad, and now was a financially good time for her to buy.

It's a death trap

Date of Review:  Sep 22, 2004
The Bottom Line: Stay far away. If you even think about buying a Kia, consider going on medication until the notion passes.
Review: Evidently you either get an okay one or a bad one. We bought 3 for cash and went this route because everything came around at once. Two of them were Spectras and the other was a Sephia. My daughter's Spectra was sold off in less than a year as she...

K-K-K-K-K-KIA --- "Not Very Good Cars"

Date of Review:  Dec 18, 2001
The Bottom Line: STAY AWAY - KIA DOES NOT HONOR THEIR WARRANTY!!
Review: 4-15-03
Admentment to this review.. Unfortunately, KIA's much vaulted 10 Year / 100,000 mile warranty doesn't hold water. I had my front tires wear out after 12,000 miles and KIA is REFUSING to honor their warranty!!! STAY AWAY FROM KIA!!!!...

Stay away from Kia's, buy anything else!

Date of Review:  Aug 20, 2006
The Bottom Line: Stay away from older Kia's like this one. Don't make the same mistake I did, find a different car. Anything is better than this!
Review: Me and my husband bought this car June 2005 and two months later the transmission went out. It was awful. To get a new transmission and to have it put in can be around $2,000, we couldnt afford that so we bought a used transmission and had it put in...

NEW!!! Convenient Disposable Car!!!

Date of Review:  Dec 17, 2001
The Bottom Line: Go buy a Hyundai....they're the same price and they have a great reputation.
Review: Thinking about purchasing a Kia Sephia? As a former Kia salesperson, I have some valuable information to share with you.

Sure, it's a cheap car, it gets great gas mileage, and the warranty can't be beaten. And it comes with emergency...

Real review from a real owner

Date of Review:  Jun 29, 2003
The Bottom Line: This car is the perfect dingy. If properly maintained and not abused the car is trouble free.
Review: This car was bought in a pinch. My wife's old car before blew the rings in its engine and she needed to be back to work on a military post in two days 800 miles away. With finances in a bind we went to the Kia dealership in Huntington Beach Ca. We...

Hey where are these noises coming from????

Date of Review:  Sep 18, 2001
The Bottom Line: R U looking for an affordable solution and don't want to buy used then, Kia and it's warranty will make sure you'll always have a car.
Review: Right before Christmas 2000 someone decided that my first car (cavalier) would make a great present to someone so they stole it from me. Although I was upset that it was stolen I feel sorry for who was going to end up with it, because the theives...

A nice ride. Real nice!

Date of Review:  Jun 10, 2002
The Bottom Line: I truly recommend the car. The dealership I could do without.
Review: If you are in the market for a good inexpensive car with a nice fit & finish, you could do worse than this car. The 2001 Kia Sephia is a fine automobile. Overall, the things it does, it does well. Excellent mileage. Good pickup, and the look of a...

Excellent Buy for the Money!

Date of Review:  Jul 29, 2001
The Bottom Line: After owning this one I would most definately buy another. Rent one for a weekend- and see for yourself!
Review: It can not be beat for cost and features! It has ample room to accomodate my tall wife with plenty of head room and leg room. It is very comfortable to ride in. Plenty of passing power. Fairly good gas milage 30-32 in town 34-37 on highway- at 12000...
