SUCH A GOOD DEAL!

Okay so to start, I am so not a "car person" but let me tell you. This car really changed my outlook. The 3 driving modes, the keyless entry, the lumbar support and heated seats.... I NEVER thought I would be able to drive a car this nice under 30k!!! I have friends and family changing to Kia who would have never considered it and I couldn't thank the dealership enough for really not pressuring me at all. I love this car and will definitely be staying in the Kia brand for a long time!

Good work car

Good for the price especially the amenities for a basic package. I use it to get to and from work and it provides a comfortable ride.

Fun to drive and looks nice

First time owning new car. Has all the features I was looking for including a back up camera. Looks nice and a good value for the cost

Great Value

I think it will serve me well as it is fairly economical to drive and has all the safety devices an older driver can appreciate.

It's great for the price.

Perfect little city car. Gas efficient, stylish, plenty of pickup. The interior is smartly designed- trunk is much bigger than I thought it would be.

Love the way it drives

This car meets all my driving needs. It's great in all weather. It's reliable. Ease of driving on long road trips. We love the forte model so much that we traded in both vehicles and bought 2 new fortes. One in blue and one in black. Now that's love!,,

Love the gas mileage

This car had the sexy factor for my wife and she was excited to buy this car. Without her approval the car would not have been purchased

owned Pontiac vibe 14 years.

I like it but have just only slightly more than 100 miles. So far I have had excellent service and gas mileage.

2017 Kia Forte is a great car

This car is fast and nimble. Great gas mileage. Very comfortable seating and plenty of leg room. The trunk space is huge. The rear seats fold down to extend the cargo space. The 2017 Kia Forte runs so quietly that I wasn't sure it was on when I stopped at a red light. It comes with satellite radio and hands free Bluetooth phone controls, so no phone to your ear while driving. Safety first! I like this car!
