Kia Sephia
Would a Kia Sephia be a good car to own? I noticed that they don't have very good resale value and according to the comments on CarSurvey they seem like a decent car if you buy the ones with a 5 speed.

One of my employees owns a 2002 Sephia, she loves it. Shes had a few problems with it but nothing major. Just remember that it is just a basic, cheap car, resale value shouldnt play into the desicion to buy.
Its a throwaway car.

That's one thing about owning a Kia cause there aren't alot of Kia dealerships around, I'm glad to hear that she's gotten good luck on her Sephia, I think that the later models have alot of style.

I wasn't sure if the Kia's part had a wide availability or not.

The Sephia's had a good amount of pep w/the standard transmission and they sure have alot of style, I wished that they still made them today.

Come on, with a 100000 mile warranty, and you can buy a base line model for 12000 new, its a hell of a deal. Now, that said, would I own one, no, I live in Detroit.
