 I own a 99 Sephia and an 01 Optima.  
The Sephia now has 62,000 milesand is 
falling apart.
 A few weeks ago the horn stopped 
ringing.  The dealer (who also sells 
and services Fords) estimated $100 but 
then revised it to $800 because Kia 
integrated the horn into the airbag 
assembly and the horn cannot be fixed 
without installing an entire new airbag 
assembly (clock spring, etc.)
 The car has had many, many other 
problems in the past year.  The moral 
of the story is:  DO NOT BUY A KIA -- 
NOW, EVER.
