Best cars ever!

Ever since I bought my first Kia Forte in 2011, I have been back to get a new one every couple of years. Love love love my Kia Fortes! They are beautiful!

Great car for money

This car is perfect for me. I can see effectively over the dash and very easy to operate. I like the style and it has a lot of storage space.

First brand new car I've purchased

Didn't think to look for cruise control when reviewing the car, it's a 2017, bur after I purchased it I realized it didn't have it. Figured cruise was standard in 2017 models.

Better than my last car.

I've only had it for about a week, but so far I'm very pleased with how it looks and performs. I'm enjoying the Sirius radio, Bluetooth and other features. The ride is very smooth and the car is easy to handle. The size is just right for me. It's easy to park and maneuver.

Great car and an excellent value

I previously owned a Ford focus. This car exceeds the focus in everyway. Very nice interior. Drives wonderfully!

Very nice car. Very happy.

This car meets all my needs. It is affordable, reliable and it looks great! I have owned a Kia for many years and don't know that I will every purchase anything else. I have been very happy with, not only the car, but the dealership experience. Thank you!
