Great car with plenty of interior room!

I test drove the KIA FORTE LX and purchased it. I was very impressed with the sporty look of this car, the spacious interior and trunk space. I LOVE IT!

Most reliable car

I loved this car. I traded my 2010 forte for the new soul but the forte was awesome. The only reason for not going back to the forte was that I wanted a small SUV. The new forte is vey spacious and I love the new redesign of the car. The forte I traded in gave me no problems what so ever. It was a very dependable car

Great car at a reasonable price

I bought the baseline Kia forte and I am very happy with this car so far. Very comfortable and spacious, handles very well, and drives smooth. I wish it came with cruise control and the front "spotlights" on the ceiling (it has 1 dome light in the middle of the inside of the car), but I am very happy with my purchase!

Love our Kia Forte

It's hard not to like a car the gives us 40 miles to the gallon! It has good pick up for a 4 cylinder engine. Gives a smooth ride.
