Surprisingly drove nice

It?s a roomy nice 4 cylinder car for the money. Not much pick up or power but comfortable interior. No back up camera or descent media screen. The car drove nice though. Just couldn?t work out a deal

Beautiful car. Rides great.

I love the back up camera. The ports to plug in electronics. I love the look, I think it's the nicest car I've ever owned.

First time to buy a car on my own.

This beautiful deep sea blue sedan is so comfortable to drive. A very classy dash and well Designed interior are very impressive. So much leg & headroom was not expected after driving an SUV for 15 years . Such a pleasure to drive & I love my new wheels!

Just bought

Great car! For a small car, it feels very solid. Gas mileage is outstanding and for the base model, the interior is pretty nice. Acceleration is surprisingly peppy and merging onto the freeway is quite easy without having to drive it hard. Visibility is outstanding and you can't beat the warranty. The Forte is just about $4000 less than the Civic. One more thing. It's extremely quiet and it's actually hard to tell if the vehicle is running.

My First New Car

I love my new car it?s so quite and easy to maintain. I even was able to get a a colored car at no additional charge . I went from a 2012 Chevy to a 2018 Kia with only at 39$ increase in my monthly payments .

Great car

This car is awesome. It came with great options for a very affordable price. I love the interior room and look. It handles wonderfully and smooth. The trunk is very spacious. Kia has a ton of safety features too. I love this vehicle.

Consumes way too much gas

This car consumes way too much gas. My Nissan Sentra 2010 didnt consume so much. It's insane. I wouldn't recommend Kia anymore. Kia makes beautiful cars that dont add value to its owner. Big regret.
