So far, it's great.

I've only had the car for a week, and so far I'm very happy with it. It seems like every day I discover something new about the controls or what the car is capable of.

My first new vehicle and I couldn't be happier with it! Great car, not great in the snow though. But still very happy with the vehicle.

So good to drive

I so enjoy driving this car. It has great pick up. it is a beautiful blue color and it is spacious. It drives smoothly. It seems to hug the road. Kia is so reliable.

So far so good!

Only had the car a week, so I haven't quite gotten used to it, but so far I'm starting to really like it. It fun in sport mode. The only thing I would change at this point, is that I feel like the seats sit a little higher than most cars. But, I've been driving a pretty low car for the past three years so that maybe part of it. Otherwise, definitely a great car for what you pay.

2017 Kia Forte with a splash of awesome!

Awesome car, non-gas guzzling, sleek, smoooooooooth. It's super easy on handling. I really like the simplicity of the dash board and all the gadgets. Plenty of storage areas. Easy to access USB and inline ports. Back seat offers a lot of room for a "Smaller" car. The truck could double as an apartment with it being that big. I really, really, REALLY love this car.

New new car owner

For the price it is a great little car so far. We are happy with the purchase. Because it's so light weight for fuel efficiency it shakes when you're on the highway with the windows rolled down. But our old 2006 Ford Taurus had over 5 more gallons in the tank yet the cars can go the same distance. It's more affordable and comes with warranties we've never had before.

The car had all the things I wanted in a car for a good price relative to other cars of the same size, with same features.
