Great ride and great value

I love this car! The only thing I'm getting used to is how touchy the brakes are.... you stop FAST. It's a great little car with a lot of fun technology. The price was lower than comparable cars of this style.

Love it!!

I love my new car! It is so fun to drive and it is my first new car!!! I wasn't sure about the color but now that it has arrived it's perfect!! The outside is sporty and I love the Bluetooth feature because I can listen to the music I want to listen to and not what is on the radio!

Awesome fit!

I needed a new car that was economical and efficient, Kia was the answer. I like the styling and comfort and the add on package was very nice especially the hands free phone option and the backup camera.

Reliable, good looking "budget" car

I'm really liking my Kia Forte. It has a bit of an issue at times with sluggishness as I drive especially at neighborhood speeds but overall I really like the looks and I'm getting great gas mileage.

In love with my Forte

I love the new Forte my husband and I bought. We needed a roomier, more reliable vehicle. Went and test drove it, loved the way it rode and handled. Signed the paperwork and they handed us the keys to our very 1st brand new car. We love it!!!

Love this car

This is my second Forte and I love it! I was looking for a replacement and although I looked at other models and makes, my eyes were still on the Forte.

It's my first car I bought on my own!

I love it! It is fun and easy to drive. Just the right size for me and has everything I need! The shiny silver is a very nice color, and I have already gotten a lot of comments about it!

love the look!!!!!!!!!

It is the nicest ride and even though the car is so compact, I feels so solid and safe! It looks sporty and yet it has a real classy look to it. Plenty of trunk space and so very comfortable to drive.
