Perfect commuter

This car was so reliable, and easy to drive on my 60 min commute. I appreciated not having to worry about it starting, or running properly. It had a great sound system to get me back and forth. The only reason I no longer have it is I was rear-ended on the way to work. The small-sized truck hit me once from the back, and then again on the side when I spun out. This is the reason I appreciate the car so much, because even though there was severe damage to the car, I wasn't severely hurt. The trunk took most of the impact, and the rest of the frame remained intact. I can't think of a better reason to own a car, to get you back and forth safely

Can't Go Wrong

I bought this car new in April 2010. I still drive this car daily, and have since put 155,000 miles on it. I've never had any issue mechanically, only changed the tires & brake pads. Regular visits to get the oil changed & fluids checked. This car is hands down the most reliable car I've ever driven. I keep thinking I'm going to have a big issue when I take it in for inspection, but every year, everything passes and I keep driving. Besides the cloth seats on the interior starting to show some ware, the car itself has held up nicely. I look forward to hitting 200,000+ with this car, and I would recommend the Forte to anyone.

nice car

The newer automatic kia fortes look nice too, this car has always been reliable despite a recall for rough idle upon starting that has not been taken care of. Nice design in and out. comfortable but small.

Best car I've ever bought.

Bought my 2010 EX with 14,500 miles in February of 2011. I've had it 5 years+ now, with 91,000 miles on it. Rock solid car, I've done the basic maintanence, oil changes, trans/coolant service, had to take it in once for a recall. Best car I've ever had. No breakdowns, no issues whatsoever. Very good gas mileage, comfortable enough, just enough power to pass on the freeway. I think 5 years later, it still looks better than it's more modern competitors on the road. I would buy this car again in a heartbeat.
