Nice car

I am 70. Traded a BMW 128I for the Forte5 SX turbo with everything available on it. Heated steering wheel, heated seats, GPS,HD Radio and so much more that the BMW didn't even order at twice the money.

Kia made a Forte Hit!!!

If was not now working from home, I would keep this vehicle and even buy another. This is my 2nd Forte and 3rd Kia.

Forte!!!!

I drive over 100 miles a day in my 2016 Kia Forte EX. In 2 years I have put over 50k trouble free miles and I?m averaging around 32-34 mpg (highway miles). It?s comfortable and the engine is peppy. My car has a premium feel to it compared to the civic and Corolla. My car has Navi, leather and sunroof. Very impressed with this car! Great bang for the buck! If you haven?t driven one or have any doubts, just take one for a drive...you may just buy one!

Small but reliable car

This vehicle was perfect for my daughter, inexpensive, good gas mileage and very low maintenance besides oil change prices at dealership

Excellent Car!

I own a Forte EX and I love it! Great design, very comfortable and it has given me zero problems. I wouldn't trade it for any other car in the compact segment.

Kia surprise, excellent car for the money

The fit and finish is great, after only a month I find that the car is a great buy for the money. This is my first Kia and would recommend the brand to anyone. The only downside so far is that the ride is a little rough. But hey it?s not our Lexus SUV either!

Best car buy ever!!!

This car meet all the needs that I had . It is fully loaded at very reasonable price. I love this car , so many options that I didn't even think I could get for price was looking for and it is still under manufacturer warranty.
