Excellent choice

I originally went into the the dealership looking for a Kia Optima. After informing the salesperson that I was looking for good gas mileage, he suggested the Forte. Boy, was he right! I usually always stay in the high 30's and sometimes I will go as far at the 40's. The keyless start is a big convenience as I can just leave my keys in my purse.

Good looking car, with some technology

The S model is has technology, with touch screen that works with phone. Looks good on outside. But interior could use improvement. The armrest not usable. The two tone seats look nice, but it could be improved. Do like the eco and sport drive modes.
