Best car for the value!

Everything about the vehicle is top notch. The cost is very affordable and the mpg is amazing. The best part is the space. The space inside the car and trunk is perfect.

I love my Forte S

I bought my 2017 Kia Forte S after I totalled my 2012 Kia Forte EX. I walked away from the accident without a scratch. There was no doubt in my mind of the safety of the car at that point. I knew I would be looking for another one. I was happily surprised at how stylish and loaded with all the most up to date features the new ones have for such a great price. These cars get great fuel milage and have been very reliable for me. I would definitely recommend anyone looking for a small car that is safe, sporty, fun to drive and great on fuel to test drive a Kia Forte S. It's completely worth the money!!

A Soul was not my Forte

My husband is 6'4" and all of my sons are over 6'. I needed economical as well as roomy. This car nails it. I am getting about 28 MPG in stop and go traffic. It's sporty, and safe. I LOVE this car.

Like it

The only gripe I have is no key or lights reminder. First gear is a little too short. I?m averaging 37 miles a gallon. Overall I?m pleased with it.

Best MPG of any car I?ve ever owned

This car meets all my standards, comfort, economy, and style. Great on gas, has great accessories. The Forte handles great in the city and highway. The cost was reasonable. I love being in a Kia

Couldn?t be happier.

I never wanted to own a small car, but this car doesn?t feel at all. It is very spacious in side. Comfortably fits my family of four.
