Awesome car..

The more I drive it the more I'm glad I purchased it, very happy with the car so far. Looking forward to many years of driving this car and eventually buying another Kia in the future.

" IN LOVE WITH DRIVING AGAIN " !!

I HAD OWNERSHIP OF A FORTE YEARS AGO AND ALWAYS REMEMBERED A GOOD DEGREE OF SATISFACTION IN ITS BEING " NIMBLE " BUT VERY " SECURE " IN IT'S STATURE AND ROADABILITY ! WELL I GOT MY CHANCE TO IMMEDIATELTY REMEMBER AND REALIZE THE " SECURITY & CONTROL " ASSURABIITY OF MY NEW 2017 KIA FORTE . ON TAKING DELIVERY DELIVERY SATURDAY EVENING MAY 27,2017 HEADING HOME WEST TORWARDS NASHVILLE I AND ALL VEHICLE ON INTERSTATE 40 WERE CAUGHT UP IN THE TORNADO STORM THAT ENCUMBERED THE AREA . THE STORM WAS RELENTLESS AND WITH FLYING DEBRIS WE WERE WIDE OPEN TRAVELING 40 MPH AGAINST RUTHLESS WINDS ! MY KIA FORTE HELD THE ROAD SOLID WITH MY ASSURANCE THAT I HAD FULL CONTROL FOR MILES AT 40 - 45 MPH AT TIMES UNTIL I AND OTHERS FINALLY REACHED AN OVER PASS TO TAKE COVER . I WAS PERHAPS 1/3 OF THE WAY AT BEST TO MY DESTINATION WITH LITTLE SOFTENING OF THE STORMS FURY . I HAD NOTICED VERY HEAVY CARGO TRUCKS WIGGLING ENROUTE WHILE MY " KIA FORTE BABY " KEPT ME ENCOURAGED WE WOULD MAKE IT WHILE CERTAINLY PRAYING ALL THE WAY ! OBVIOUSLY I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME WITH JUST A LITTLE SOFTENING OF THE FURY WITH A LOT OF DAMAGE AND DEBRIS OBVIOUS ALONG THE LAST LEG OF MY RETURN .. I NEEDED NO MORE PROOF OF MY NEW SELECTION AND THE FRIENDSHIP WAS TRULY ESTABLISHED !

Much love for my Kia

My husband and I traded our 2009 Toyota Corolla LE in for a 2017 Kia Forte LX. I must say, we've only had this car for 3 weeks and we are very impressed with it and very much in love with it. We were kind of hesitant on buying a Kia, but once we took it for a drive, we fell in love with it. The handling, cornering, stability and safety all of the things that this car has, that we've been looking for. I would reccomend owning a Kia over a Toyota any day. Too many problems with the Toyota's and unreliable. Also did not feel safe in the Toyota.

Great so far...

I have only had my car less than a month, but I am very pleased with it so far. I couldn't have gotten a better price, and the sales experience was great. The car is nice and quiet and handles well, and I am getting great gas mileage. The color is a little bright for me (deep sea blue), but I am growing to like it more every day. I feel safe and secure, and I have had no problems with the car at all.
