Best small car I have ever driven. Great car.

Most reliable car I've owned

The car met all of my needs. It was stylish and reliable. It was not too expensive?. I will be purchasing a Kia car again!

I love this car but do not need it.

I love this car. If I did not work from home, i would keep the car. Kia makes a great product and this is a spare vehicle. Whoever purchases it will be getting a car that is fun to drive and economical

I'd keep if I needed her

I love this car. It is responsive, easy to shift, nimble and being a bigger man, I have plenty of headroom, legroom and width. If I needed the vehicle I would not be selling it but where I work, I do not need a 2nd car. i am selling for no other reason than I just do not need the additional vehicle.

Not the best but pretty good.

For a compact sedan the Forte is great for somebody who is on-the-go. It receives great gas mileage.

Good car so far

Air vents poorly placed. Back wiper only clears 50% of window and that window is slanted, so dirt collects really bad. Side pockets on doors are small. It does look nice and runs great. I was shopping for what I could afford.

Nice sport-like car

This is a great car for anyone looking for the sporty look Without all of the fast and furious that goes along with it. It performed like a typical sedan and is good on gas.
