This car is very comfortable to drive. Great gas

This car exceeds my needs in comfort. It has plenty of leg room. It gets great gas mileage. We drove it across country and the ride was comfortable and it was fun to drive.

A STEAL!

I love my Kia Forte! I know nothing about the brand but I got it at a great deal and I haven't regretted my choice. It rides smooth, has all the tech needs (USB port, Aux chord port, and cigarette lighter/car charger portal) and it's cute and comfortable! Buy one!

Easily totaled

The car was attractive and reliable. A little small, but it met my needs. I have owned 2 of these vehicles and been in accidents and both times the car was completely totaled.

Great deal for price and year.

Its a great car! Not as much space as we wanted and needed but it will suffice for now. We will be trading it in in the future.

Best First Car to Own

This car is my third car I?ve ever had but it is the first car that my name is on and that I pay for. It has great gas mileage and I love all the features it has: sunroof, CarPlay, heated and cooled front seats, front end collision, lane keep assistance, and three driving modes.

Great little car

The Kia Forte has been a great car. We bought it for my 18 year old daughter for college travel and so far, we love it. It has the features of a more expensive car, the back up camera, Bluetooth, etc but is affordable, sporty and comfortable.

COULD BE A LITTLE MORE POWERFUL.

I LOVE THE EASABILITY OF HANDLING THIS CAR. GREAT ON GAS, A/C NOT TO POWERFUL, LOTS OF LEG AND HEAD ROOM. LOVE THE COLOR IT IS LIKE A COBALT BLUE.
