      too bad the motor in the 01 isnt a BP.... still impressive though.

      since we are talking about high miles... my friend rolled over 300k on a saturn SL1 and a couple thousand later the diff pin let go taking out the whole transmission case... he junked it.

          AFAIK, 94-97's came with the BP.

            yep the later ones were similar, but not the same. the displacement is slightly different even... its not 1839cc like the BP. those later engines were made in korea.

                    But I bet their gas mileage is awesome, like 3 million miles to every power cell.

                      First, you're confusing South Korea with North Korea(two different countries). Second, it's specifically the 94-97 Kia Sephia GS that came with the BP. No GS=No BP, no matter if 94-97.

                          Or ask John F. Kennedy who pronounced it the exact same way.
