Comfort and style

I love it; my friends love it, too. The styling is classy, the interior is comfortable, and performance is responsive. Glad I got this one!

Cheap city car with good consumption

This car is not made for long distance drive and "adventures", is a simple car for less money. Specially for daily use (supermarket, drive to work) with a good milage/gallon.

Love my car

I highly recommend this car especially for a first time buyer. This is my second car, my first was a 2016 Chrysler 200, but I love this vehicle way better than my Chrysler!! This is a great reliable car!!

Nice car for a very good price. Very impressed

Base model came with allot of options and the performance is surprisingly good. Didn't expect this much out of a car at such a low price. Will definitely look at the Kia models when I want to upgrade

Good car for the money

This car drives well, is comfortable, and has more features than my old car. I like the exterior color. For a four cylinder it has surprising acceleration. The fuel economy is beeter than I expected for an automatic transmission.

Great on gas and can still fit the family.

Great ride. Use to own a Chevy Equinox but a change in careers have me driving between 150-200 miles a dayand gassing up was becoming pricey. I now fill up once every 5 days where I was filling up once every 2-3 days. My better half and two adult size children fit comfortably in it. 4 adult person max anything else will be pushing it. I am tall and it sits low getting in and out is the only negative for me.

Most Reliable & Best Fit Car I've Owned

This car met all of our needs as a family. We have plenty of room, trunk space and it's very stylish. Not only does it handle well in driving, but we save a lot of gas. Before owning a Kia Forte, we spent lots of money on adding gas to the car but now we get in and go and no worries about stopping every day to refill on gas.

Nicest base model car ever

Our family buys practical cars for commuting and occasional trips. This Forte fits the bill and is stylish and well designed. It is highly rated and we look forward to owning it for many years.
