First loaded car I ever owned

This is the best car I ever owned. Fully loaded for me and a pleasure to drive. This will be the last car I am sure I will have.

Not the best vehicle to own

The car is good on gas. It gets great highway miles. The Kia Forte is not a smooth running vehicle. I just wouldn't ever buy another one.

So far, (1 yr/20K miles), very pleased.

A very, very good car. Toyota good? Can't say yet, maybe even better. Not perfect but still, very, very good. Lots of interior room. Good gas mileage. Handles well, ride is a little rough but not unacceptable. Needs a couple USB ports in the rear. Next time I will get Auto trans, cruise control, and a little bigger engine. First "after purchase" add on is a spare tire and a jack/lug wrench.

KIA FORTE5 NEWBIE

I am very pleased with my new Kia Forte 5 after one month of ownership. It is very roomy & the seats are very comfortable & I am a bigger guy so that is important.
