Forget what you've heard about Kia...
So many people have told me that Kias are not reliable cars or are cheap/cheaply made. I can't speak for earlier models, but my '17 Forte is definitely not in any of those categories! Purchased brand-new in April of 2017, with 74 miles on the odometer, she has traveled 104k with me already and is amazing! Even my husband, a truck man through and through, loves my Kia. And he is well over 6' tall! He's waiting for Kia to launch a truck so he can buy one. Lol! Keep up with the recommended service, perform preventative maintenance on your Kia, and you will be rewarded with a reliable companion. Failure to maintain your vehicle will ruin any make, no matter the quality. Kia customer for life!

kia Forte great mileage
My Kia has been a good purchase, 35 to 38 Miles per gallon of gas. Driving 45 miles to and from work this has been a great benefit for a fixed income. Comfortable to drive, big trunk, leg room is good in front and in back seat.

Good for a 16 year old
I liked it however it is very low to the ground and I’m not a fan of hub caps. But the safety reviews are good for the vehicle.

Most reliable Car I've owned
This car met all of needs and as soon as I seen it I knew this was the car that I wanted. I test drove some cars that I liked but they didn't call to me like my Kia did. I have enough room for my family.

Super car - all the bells&whistles but low price!
Cant really think of anything to complain about offhand! Roomy, comfortable even for me at 6'2 (even in the back seat). Plenty of gadgets - great navigation, displays! Like the air conditioned seats!

Like to buy a new one.
Reliable car that I recommend for anyone's trial and I support for further expansion with the rust prevention on the bottom edge that can be replaced easily.

It not worth it.
My friend is laying in a hospital here in GA with a broken neck. Do to the air bag didn't deploy. The engine caught fire and burnt the car up trapping him inside. This was a 2017 kia forte Lx.

Good basic transportation
This is a pretty good car for the price. Fuel economy is very good. It performs well. I would consider buying another Kia if it was from a different dealership.

Too early to determine
I think I will have this vehicle for years. I love the way it drives and the feel of it. Thank you for the assistance

Great Car
Love the fuel economy of this KIA Forte the ride is nice comfortable and quiet it has all the standard features needed for a EX except cruise control and a spare tire would be nice instead of a inflation kit other than that it is a well liked vehicle I hope it gos 200K miles time will tell of the longevity of this Kia it will be well maintained and cared for
