Love my car

I love my new car and the way it drives. I turn on the car and I can't even tell that the car is turned on. It drives so smooth and I don't even realize how fast I am going until I look down to check my speed! So be careful and watch your speed in this car!

Safety and Color

I am most impressed by all the safety features of my new car. Having reviewed the car's manual, I considered the amount of information on safety to be most impressive. Additionally, the color, deep sea blue, is eye-catching and more attractive than I've ever encountered.

My very first new car

This is my very first brand new car. I went to other dealerships, but this one in my experience was the best of all. The patience of my sales representative was immeasurable. They made sure that I was completely satisfied with my purchase before, during, and after I drove my new car off the lot. I love it.

Has all the bells & whistles!

Wonderful car with a great warranty. It has every option that I was looking for and I love the smell of a new car. I have owned a couple of other Kia automobiles and they all have been the most reliable!

I get nothing but complements about my car

Beautiful design inside and out. The color, deep sea blue, is absolutely gorgeous. Very comfortable seats.

Comfortable, easy to navigate

We traded in a 2003 Toyota Camry which we had owned for 12 years. We were very comfortable and pleased with our Camry. Hesitant and weary of purchasing/leasing a new vehicle and not a Toyota. We find the Kia Forte a perfect transition. It is comfortable with just enough room for our use. From the test drive, we knew that this was a great fit for us. The gas mileage makes this very affordable to use. The power of this 4 cyl is amazing!

My second black economic sedan car.

Perfect car to economize gasoline and easy to drive over the streets. Nice black color and love to drive it.
