 By the time I bought my Sephia new in Sept 2000, Consumer Reports had already slapped the tag worst car ever made on it.  Had to have the fuse box in the engine compartment replaced because it melted.  Annual brake work, emergency brake cable snapped, sun visor spring snapped, inside driver door handle snapped, battery died, new tires every 18 months, it's LOUD, struts were in dire need of replacement at the time I dumped it.  Thankfully I had a base model, or I'm sure I'd be sitting here reporting A/C, automatic transmission, and power lock/window problems, too.
