I bought my wife a 1998 Kia Sephia LS years ago because I thought that it would be a dependable and gas thrifty car. While the latter was true, I found myself spending more money on this piece of junk than I could have ever imagined. I have replaced the brake pads and rotors on this car over ten times in the last six years! The head gasket has blown twice, (it is blown right now) the car is hard to start after adding fuel, it surges when driving down the road, it will not stay aligned and it eats a set of tires every eight to ten months.
If I had known that I would have the kind of repair bills that I have had with this car I would have bought her a lexus and been done with it. I have no desire to make a car payment and a mechanic payment every month. I can't imagine how a Kia salesman can sleep at night. Just knowing that he has sold someone's wife and the mother of their child a piece of crap that could possibly get them killed.
I am going to make it my business to inform everyone that Kia products are garbage and that the engineers and mechanics at Kia are not making any attempts to make the situation better. Please do not buy these vehicles!!! They are worthless pieces of junk!!
