Extremely impressed

I got this car at 8k miles in 2012 and have driven it into the ground. Averaging about 30k miles a year, I have 155k on it and NO issues.

Style and reliability with unbeatable price

Overall I have been very happy with Kia. I get the quality and reliability of a higher end car without the painful price. Handles excellently, great fuel economy. I have owned new Hondas and used Kias, I would choose Kia hands down for the unbeatable value.

Best first car I could have

This was my first car as a teenager and it had pulled through for me. It may be basic but that means less fix up for me. I love this car.

Very Economical

The Kia Forte was an awesome car. Perfect for daily use, commuting, college students, and Uber. Its in the same boat and reputability as the Toyota Corolla and Honda Civic. Very reliable car and great mpg in the city and on the hwy. Excellent and plenty of cargo space. Dash and entertainment system are very simple and easy to use and in the correct and easily accessible places. It has very good power and makes little cabin noise. The exterior is very sleek and unique like most Asian made cars that show an expressive personality. I had the 6speed manual transmission one and I was not sorry. The shifter was so smooth and I enjoyed this car so much! Had to let it go because I wanted a more sportier car than this one. At the time I didn't know about the Kia Forte Koup option. So if you're looking for a very reliable and great gas saving car the Forte is for you. If you are looking for a sportier option than the Kia Forte Koup might be for you. I highly recommend the Manual Transmission!
