The 2013 Kia Forte 5-Door delivers a lot of bang for the buck, making it a good choice for small families looking to stretch their budget, says Cars.com Family reviewer Carrie Kim. This five-seat hatchback is lacking in the looks department with a design that seems too basic for the fun-loving Kia brand. Looks aside, Carrie found the Forte 5-Door to be a good fit for hauling her toddler and all her gear.
