"I guided my wife to this purchase and we are both very pleased with the choice. This car is a rocket!!! It looks and runs great and it only had 11K on it when we bought it in March. This car has such good pick up that we need to be careful even backing out of a parking space!! The 6 speed transmission shifts just fine, so do not pay any attention to this being a negative as rated by this site. I have always beleived that Kia and Huyandai are in the process of supassing BOTH Honda and Toyota in quality and overall design and will continue to do so over the next 5-10 years. Sorry all of you C-RV and Rav-4 owners!!!"

"I had this car with me for 5 months long. My Forte was 1.6SX 6-speed equiped with full of accessories. I enjoy my ride and it given me full of satisfaction. Although Forte is selling relatively cheap, but the car was offering much better specs than its rivals and comfortable ride. Meanwhile it maintains top class of safety. This is the car consumer bought with no regret at all at this price."

"Very happy with this car. Exactly what I wanted, Standard features are all you need. I wish it was easier to get a manual transmission but the six speed is very nice."

"I'd be honest and say I was one of those people that would never consider buying a Kia. I was in the market for a 5 door so I tested the new Mazda 3, honda fit, hyundai elantra touring but I have to say the Kia forte was by far the best value. when i first saw the car I thought iI was looking at an Audi 3. I think Kia has come a long way and is now true competition to the "big brands" like Honda and Toyota. I would say the Mazda 3 was my second choice but i would have payed more $$$ for the Mazda up front plus it had less MPG than the forte. I bought the SX version of the kia and honestly could not tell the difference between the Mazda and the Kia. compared to the Honda fit, I thought the forte had a lot more room and it also came with a lot more standard features like bluetooth, sunroof, shift paddles, trip computer, etc. in terms of reliability the Kia warranty is the best in the market so that gives me a piece of mind. Needless to say, I really like the new kia forte 5 door. if you are in the market for a great hatchback, I'd give the kia forte a try."

"Main problem on car is rear suspension being a bit skittish, and brakes are little grabby. It is a very good value. Compare to Mazdaspeed5, VW Golf, or Ford Focus. Nice interior, great features, easy to drive, good cornering."

"although a basic instrument of transportation, the kia forte koup is a happy car. it is economical, peppy, sometimes a bit too light, but always ready to take you to your destination without requiring much preparation. the kia forte koup offers standard equipment that are still options in most cars. i feel very confident i made the right choice by purchasing this particular brand and model for my particular and present situation. AAA+++"
