Cute and affordable

It's the very first car I've purchased as an adult and I have no regrets! It's easy to drive and it was very affordable for my very first car purchase

Your Forte

The 2017 Kia Forte LX is a great, smooth running car. We bought the 6 speed. It's performance is outstanding. It's very roomy inside. Lots of leg room.

Great car

While I'm not a car person I have to admit that this is a pretty dang good car, the gas mileage is amazing and the turn radius is unbelievable. I'm 6ft and it's pretty comfortable to sit inside the front or back and would have no problems taking a long road trip in it. KIA has really impressed me the last few years with their products. I think they have a solid work ethic and produce real quality for very good prices. I would definitely recommend you look into buying a KIA for your next vehicle.

Nice car but..

I love the car, I love the way it drives! It's very smooth. I just think the side rear-view mirrors are designed a bit strange. I can't seem to get used to the shape of them. Other than that, the car is great!

Meets beyond my expectations

When it was time for me to get a new car I thought this would be a stressful situation. But to find out I was lead towards the right direction to a new Kia dealership in Sandusky Ohio. I then met Matt Wilhelm a car salesman at the dealership. I explained my needs and wants and he worked with me to get me what I needed. He made sure I was well taken care of and got the perfect car that fits my needs. I was very impressed with his manners and patience. I would definitely go back to him and refer him to others who are in the market to buy a new vechicle.
