1996 Kia Sephia - My Experience With My Kia Sephia

This was, in general, a very good car. The finish and materials were very good, and I was pleased with the way it held up. I drove it several years and put over 20,000 miles on it. This wasn't a luxury car, by any stretch of the imagination, but it was a good car for daily use. Fuel economy was good, and the engine required little maintenance. The body had a solid, tight feel to it. The seats, while not luxurious, the were quite comfortable, and I could sit in them to drive all day. The car did have its quirks. There were a few routine type parts that should have been available from any auto parts store which were only available from Kia. I never had any problems with getting it serviced or repaired, however. The only reason I would not rate this particular model superior was that when... (more)

Story

I had the car in Tucson, Arizona, where summer high temperatures routinely reach over 100 degrees. I was afraid the car would not hold up to the heat, as I drove it some distance to work every day, but it performed quite well. I was especially afraid the air conditioner may have been made for a more temperate climate. As I drove home from work, I was always headed into the sun. So the afternoo... (more)

Pros

Solid body, comfortable serviceable seats. Easy to drive, good fuel economy.

Cons

Availability of some parts. Problem with the transmission, as stated in review.

1996 Kia Sephia -

I am very much pleased with my vehicle. I purchased it eight months ago and it has given me minimal problems even though it is an older model vehicle. My car has been used for work in food delivery and been a good compact family vehicle. It has a lot of miles but still runs great.

Story

I enjoyed being in this vehicle and puling up to my favorite spot Sonics drive-in. My family and I will sit and enjoy corn dogs and ice cream there.

Pros

I have to say that there are many positive aspects of this car. The main thing that is attractive when it comes to this car is the gas mileage. I get about 30 miles per gallon on the highway and just slightly less in the city limits. The car is older but fully functional in all aspects. The seller provided me with an up to date stereo system and brand new tires, which after months of constant riding have barely lost tread. The air conditioning and heat are perfectly operational which is major in this south Georgia climate I live in.

Cons

I consider my vehicle to be in good shape for its age but it does have its down sides. The mileage is very high which would mean even though it is running great I cannot predict if it will fail me in the spur of the moment. It is a small car and I have 4 kids. My family has to take our van if everyone is to be able to move around at once.

1995 Kia Sephia - A great 4 door sedan.

The vehicle is roomy, especially the trunk. Plenty of leg room and I love that it has a cup holder. The engine quickly responds to the touch of the gas pedal and the brakes respond just as well. I love that it gets good gas mileage, averaging 30 mpg. This car holds up well for its age. The engine is sound, the frame sturdy, and it takes you wherever you need to go.

Story

A friend and I just took it out for a drive around the Puget sound, laughing enjoying the summer sun and wind. It was just a fun afternoon taking turns driving and talking.

Pros

My favorite features about this vehicle are the ability to take my friends anywhere we need to go. The way the car responds to my driving, speeds up or slowing down. This is a gas efficient car, averaging 30 mpg. The parts that need replaced by normal wear and tear are easy to find and replace. I love the way it looks, and the style and size are perfect for me.

Cons

Because it has been through a few rear-end fender benders, the trunk gets wet on the inside when it rains. Owning a car this old the upholstery needs replacing. The rear defroster doesn't completely defrost the rear window.
