Kia's barebones compact sedan is all about saving money.  High fuel economy (23/32) and limited features keep the price down on the 2000 Kia Sephia STD.  Powered by a 1.8-liter, 125-hp I4 engine, a 5-speed manual comes standard and a 4-speed automatic transmission is optional.  The roomy sedan seats four fairly comfortably for a compact and carries 10 cubic feet of trunk space.  But standard equipment is kept to a minimum, with even air conditioning optional.

The 2000 Kia Sephia STD does come with dual front airbags, intermittent wipers, and a rear defogger.  If you want a tape or CD player, you have to pay extra.  Other options include power steering and a rear spoiler.  Drivers of the 2000 Kia Sephia STD like its interior room and the good gas mileage, making it a great starter car.  Quality of interior and exterior materials could be better, and drivers say to be prepared to spend a lot of time with your mechanic.
