 I bought this car new in 2000,the first things to go before 400 miles were the battery twice.Then the alternator the rubbers around the doors is constantly coming off,oh how about the one around the front  windshield  that blew out on the highway  the second day we had it. the color just rubbed off when you hand wash it  These cars were built cheap it has no pick up don't try to merge into traffic from a ramp because you will not make it there are no pick up power. i have a 1995 Toyota Corolla with 226,875 miles and the KIA SEPHIA is no match to it.last but not least gas mileage is lousy for a four cylinder we went trade it with only 48,000 miles recently they only want to give us $1,000.
