Everyone needs to own a Kia

When I took the kia for a spin I said YES! Then I bought it. Best decision I've made and the smartest at that.

Stylish

Nice lines. Excellent safety features. Decent pick up and go. Only complaint is I wish the gas mileage was a little better-like 40 mpg instead of 30 mpg.

Kia Forte

So far so good! The Forte is a smooth riding smaller car. I was impressed but a truly true Review should be made again after you've owned a new car for a while.

Most reliable car I have ever owned.

This car has meet all of my needs. At first I was concerned with not having enough leg room, once I got in it I was glad to know that I didn't have to put my seat all the way back. I love how smooth it runs also gas mileage is wonderful. Lastly im so in love with my back up camera I have always been unsure when backing up but now that I have the camera I feel more confident when backing up.
