the most efficent car i have owned

The car is good, thought that a small car like this one would be a hassel but the size of the interior is deceiving, and it is quite roomy and stylish, makes you feel like your drving a luxury car.

Great looking inside & out, drives smoothly

I would absolutely purchase another if I was able. The engine is so quiet can't believe it's on. I Love the comfortable ride I always experience.

Great car for the money.

I shopped all the hatchbacks in this size range and nothing beats Kia for the money. It wasn't reviewed as the top car in the class performance wise or room wise but it was comparable in all ares and considered one of the best bargains. I have found that to be true of all the Kia vehicles I have had. They are quality cars with good tech and more standard features for a better price.

Great Car for the working Mom on the Gooooo

I work full time and commute, as a mother to six I am blessed with an age gap, as my older three are off the college my Kia provides great trunk space, three comfortable seats in the back and the gas mileage to battle a commute followed by football, wrestling, track practice!

BEST LITTLE CAR FOR THE MONEY

First new car in 10 years, got rid of my Toyota Corolla and decided to buy the Kia Forte. So far I like it better than the Corolla, better power and fuel mileage. I think the styling is great with no blindspots. I love it!
