Live it!

The car is perfect for my needs. Most importantly, I fit comfortably. I'm 6'1" and it challenging to find a comfortable fit in a smaller, more efficient vehicle.

Without a Doubt the most Comfortable Car I Own

This car is actually what I envisioned my dream car to be! It has an amazing mpg, and the exterior is beautiful. The car also has great legroom, and it sounds great when driving. I also enjoy the features like the phone, Bluetooth, and command voice! It?s exceptionally safe and useful for a college kid like me.

Disappointed

We brought the 2014 Kia Forte used in 2015. It has 125,000 miles on it and we are having to replace the engine. I expected much more from this vehicle. A new engine is a major expense for a car with that mileage. I won't be buying another one.

My favorite Car ever!

Out of all the cars I've ever owned Kia is hands down the BEST! Best in Comfort, Best in GAs mileage, Best in Style for your money, Best in being faithful to its owner in every way. LOVE LOVE LOVE my car. If I ever buy another car it will have to be a KIA!

So far, most reliable car I've owned

I love my Kia. I feel completely safe driving it, it's comfortable, it fits my dog and all of my agility stuff in it. And It has been the most reliable car I've owned since I started driving. I have now owned it for a year and have had no issues. That and the dealer we go to is phenomenal. I will recommend this brand until the cows come home.

Car is okay

Meets my needs however I bought the car in March 2014. I had to replace the tires in January 2016 with BF Goodrich 60K tires (not cheap). I am now replacing the tires March 2018. I've never owned a car that I had to replace the tires every 1 1/2. I am definitely not happy with this car.
