This was the nicest vehicle I purchased to date

Traded in a 2012 I had similar to this car for the 2015 version because I wanted a sunroof. I also liked the color and the fact that it was sporty. Got lots of compliments driving it, was comfortable an really hate to get rid of it because I liked it a lot but trying to purchase either a classic car or a motorbike for the summer plus I really could use the cash!

MOST DANGEROUS vehicle I’ve EVER owned!

Beautiful vehicle BUT OH SO DANGEROUS to drive or ride in! And seems as tho Kia does NOT CARE! Brakes failed at intersection & I broadsided a large Chevrolet Utility Vehicle! Kia was TOTALED & AIRBAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY! MUST have contained TAKATA airbags - ya think? KIA MUST TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY - but WILL THEY - if so - WHEN? Had my 2015 Kia Forte only TWO months!

One of My Top Two in over 20 Cars

After over 20 vehicles, this has to be one of my top two, the other being a Volvo. I've had Toyota, Honda, Mercedes and numerous brands, and dollar for dollar, this offer great value, comfort, performance and style. I've become a dedicated Kia owner. It's even been mistaken for a Lexus!

Excellent on gas

The car is compact as it has enough space for an average family. It met my financial needs (which is important) at the time of purchase.

Get over 40 mpg. Low maintenance costs

Great commuting vehicle, as i get up to 46 mpg on trips. Comfortable for the whole family. Low maintenance, well designed, and a pleasure to drive.

Great and Inexpensive Sedan

Meets all of my commuting needs. It is great on gas and pretty sporty for a 4 cylinder. It gets 350 miles per tank and generally costs about $35 to fill the tank. I love the manual option on the automatic too, comes in handy in rain or changing lanes. Great room in it too. Comfy ride from passenger and a lot of trunk room. Not as quiet as a more expensive sedan but that's expected with a car costing $14k. I would purchase again given the chance if you are looking for a entry or first car purchase as a young adult or family looking for an inexpensive option for your needs.

KIA FORTE 2011

This was a great reliable car. The design for the 2011 was much prettier than my 2015 Forte but both cars were and are reliable.
