Kia Sephia
Almost 25 years ago the Sephia was the car that introduced North America to the Kia brand. The odd-shaped little compact car was very affordable and offered little in the way of options. But it was enough to propel the company to do great things in the states and it offered a reasonable bargain. The Sephia was a bargain basement car in every sense of the word, but it was enough to get the company off of the ground in the United States (via Fandom).
Most drivers want to forget the Kia Sephia and those who owned one were even more displeased. But there were some cool things about the car that most people don’t know about. There was Mazda engineering under the hood of the car which gave it some interesting driving characteristics. Kia also offered one of the best warranties at the time so that somewhat made up for the paltry performance and reliability.
