Be careful when purchasing Manuel.

I will start with the the positive. It has good gas milage. It's a good looking car. It's to early to tell if reliable but it does have one of the best warrenties. The negative is that it's not the best drive on the highway.

I am so pleased with my Kia Forte, it's great!!

I could not have received better service with the choice of the Forte. It performs well and has excellent gas mileage in town and on the road. I am looking forward to having it around for years to come. Of course, I can not say enough about the excellent assistance I received from Hutchinson Motors here in Macon and will be forever grateful to them and Kia Finance. Everyone has been so courteous and professional. Thank you so very much! Brenda Robinson

Great buy!

Was a little hesitant about going from a BMW to a Kia, but I absolutely love it!! Especially the gas mileage! Plenty of leg room, sleek lines, and just enough new tech to make me happy, but not overwhelmed.

Very Nice

It was nice. It drove well, had some safety features. I went for the Rio but this was more economical buy the fuel efficiency was not what i wanted for the cost. And I didnt think it was too pretty either. I was a little bit bored with it overall

Quality service.five stars hands down

The fuel economy is outstanding. The amount of legroom the car supplies is great for those on the taller side of the spectrum. The interior radio forces a nice modern look . Outside mirrors provide enough sight for switching lanes . Low on horsepower but the vehicle definitely does its job.the trunk space is huge! Plenty of cup holders for everyone. Small center console and glove compartment box. Overall great car.

Best Decision I Ever Made

This car is fantastic. It is highly comparable to the more expensive makes in its same class. This is by far one of the best vehicles I have ever owned. Love it!!!

Fantastic car

The Kia has ample leg room, more then what I expected. The interior is very spacious with lots of room in the back seat as well. The interior is very sleek with a sporty look. The Kia SX has all the gadgets you need in a vehicle, between heated seats for winter and cool seats on the hot days.
