The most prestigious car I've ever owned to date !

LOVE THIS CAR !! It has tons of room everywhere ! Flashy, extravagant, elegant, well made and even has a hatchback for ease of loading and transporting my dogs, groceries and anything else I might need to haul. Easy to modify for whatever purpose I have in mind and drives as smooth as silk on any road condition with total ease. Seems that for every part of this car, there's a way to move or adjust it to fit whatever body type you are to make you as comfortable behind the wheel as you can be. You HAVE to at least check into the Kia Forte when you shop around for automobiles !! You'll be amazed at how they look, drive and the room they have inside !!

Spectacular Car!

This is a phenomenal car. If you are interested in or in need of a compact to mid-size sedan and you go drive this car you will buy it. The price is great, the mileage is great, the car is great! Do your research, drive this car, buy one !

My first Kia

I really like the vehicle but I didn?t realize until after I bought it that it didn?t have cruise control. What car in 2017 doesn?t have it? A Forte that?s who.... Also, the gear shift sits really low. I wish the gear shift and counsel fit around you and not so low.

Exception car

This was tied for our 1st choice for a new car. I loved the safety features, handling, and interior size. I would tell anyone to give it a try if they are in the market for an affordable, luxurious feeling, sedan.

Big Things Do Come In Small Packages!

I am amazed at how much technology is in this vehicle....I love it! I was afraid of going from a SUV to a compact car but the Kia Forte EX is roomy..the bucket seats are comfortable, allowing me to pump up the seat for leverage; plenty of leg room and the trunk is enormous. When I'm on the road, I feel like all eyes are on me. When I walk towards my car my eyes light up. When I sit in the drivers seat I look around with a grin. Provides three driving modes to either cruz economically or to turn my car into a sports vehicle. Grateful for my purchase!

Totally love it, such a smooth ride.

I totally love the new car and it is awesome to ride in. I enjoy the smooth ride that it gives. The features are really great, compared to other cars that I test drove during my search for a car.
