2016 Kia Forte consumer reviews

Nice and sleek, fancy interior, good looking overall. Very good performance, quiet and smooth ride, and Great sound system. couldn't have asked for a better car given the price.

Really well thought of features, easy to drive, reliable so far. Nice sound system, handles well on the road. Stylish body type with a nice paint job. Really good on gas!!

This car is a amazing. Meets all my needs. Is a very safe and comfortable ride. My family and I love it. Definitely KIA for life

I have a 2016 Forte 5 and this is the most underrated car ever. Kia should have done a much better job advertising it. Hatchbacks in general are underrated but the Forte 5 hands down beats them all. Room for 4 and all their luggage, great ride (a bit on the stiff side), plenty of features, TONS of power with the 2.0 motor (don't bother with the base engine, it's useless), did I mention the cargo space?? Puts a majority of SUV's to shame! All is not perfect though. Gas tank is ridiculously small, and the MPG's could be a lot better which leads to frequent fill-ups. Heater takes forever to warm up in winter, door auto-unlock when you shift into park doesn't always unlock. Otherwise reliability has been stellar, not a single repair yet after 53k miles. A couple of mystery rattles and squeaks that come and go but all in all the car is phenomenal.

I absolutely love my new car! I am always on the road and this car saves so much gas and is very nice to drive, very smooth. it is perfect for someone like me who drives around a lot because it is very reliable.

Spotless car, very reliable, low on gas, slick look, safe drive. My wife has been driving it and she wouldn't switch with another vehicle but my family grew and she needs a bigger car.

Exactly what I was looking for. This car has great styling, is very comfortable and easy to drive, and it's great on gas as well as being backed by a great warranty. I got the Forte5 hatchback and I love it!

This car has met all my expectations and is awesome on gas. It drives nice and has plenty of room up front and in back seat. Live how the back seat comes down and gives you more space to fit things. I absolutely love this car..

I had been a faithful Toyota owner for many many years and after 2 bad cars in a row with regular service by the dealers, I opted to look for another vehicle NOT Toyota. Toyota knew of issues plaguing my vehicles but said until their was an official recall, I was on my own. I have about 62K miles on my KIA, purchased it at 10K miles and so far it has been very reliable and the gas economy has been decent. I know what the dashboard says is my MPG is not correct- few people realize this and don't do their own tracking (regardless of the car). I tend to drive my cars until they are well past 100K. The comfort is decent as I drive about 25K miles/ year but I'm more about economy and reliability than I am about creature comforts. As long as this car continues to be reliable and economic, I would consider buying another KIA. The only issue I have is the cost of my insurance went way up when I switched from my Toyota Prius to this car. I have no accidents or tickets and when I asked my agent, he just said it costs more to fix these cars. When I have checked around w/other insurance I am not finding major differences so I guess my biggest complaint is why the KIA parts are so much more expensive than even a Toyota. Doesn't make sense to me.

I absolutely loved my Forte5. Was extremely sad to see it go. It had get up and go when you needed it. Very comfortable drive. And great quality all around!
