The car is FAST, fun to drive and good on gas.

Yeah the a/c is great. It's comfortable on long trips and great on gas. The car's FAST,for a 4cylinder and super easy to park. Love the stereo and all the gadgets. I'd buy another one if I needed a new one.

Love this car, drives smooth and is very reliable.

Plenty of room, very comfortable. Stylish interior and exterior. Great gas mileage. So glad to finally own a Kia Forte, great safety record, couldn’t be happier.

Reliable, clean, and affordable car.

I fell in love with the car while test driving it. It runs smooth, has alot of extra features to it. Such as heated seats, push to start button, backup camera, GPS, USB/AUX ports, and alot of storage space. I'm very satisfied. I found a reliable car without breaking my pockets.

Best car I've ever owned

I've owned a lot of cars in my life. I've had some good cars nut my Kia Forte is by far the best car I have ever owned. This is the first brand new car I've bought. I love it!!! No problems at all. Im sold on buying new cars and I'm sold on buying Kia.

Most reliable car I've owned.

Unmatched peace of mind from the bumper-to-bumper guarantee, I've had bad experiences with previous cars not lasting a long time. Super comfortable and easy to drive. I mostly used it to commute to-from work and also did some longer trips (like Ohio and Florida), great in both cases. Really good on gas, usually $20 fills the tank (varies slightly).

Great car, terrible car company

Car works great, company however lacks proper leadership to fix problems if and when they arise. Especially the dealerships. I would buy a used Kia, but not another new car because of this issue.

Car good, Dealer bad

Great car, dealer is the worst I have ever had to deal with I would recommend the car. Kia West Atlanta on the other hand. You will waste money and time
