Very nice and sporty

This car is nice small front wheel drive. Which meets my needs. Good on gas and has my review camera for safety. Also has my Bluetooth for safety.

Great for Commutes

Excellent daily driver, great MPG, plenty of room up front, back seat is small - don't recommend for family. Great trunk space though, handles well, mine did not come with spare tire, purchased one separately instead. Not great in snowy or windy conditions as car is very lightweight, but overall very pleasant vehicle for good price.

I got a bad deal.

It's a good car. I didn't know anything about cars so when I went to buy I got a bad deal and overpaid. I'm happy with my purchase but wish I would've gotten a better deal

Display failure

I bought a 2015 Kia Forte new in August 2015. At around 48000 miles the instant gas mileage display quit working. Kia can't seem to fix it. I have been to the dealer three times, and filed a complaint with Kia Customer Assistance Center. They say there is no fix currently available, they don't know when a fix will be available, and will not issue a statement that says they will fix my car if the warrenty (60,000 miles bumper to bumper) expires before a fix is available. I consider this to be unacceptable and in violation of the warranty. Kia started out somewhat helpful but are no longer interested in my problem.
