Excellent Car

This car was a dream for me. Satellite radio, hands free phone, automatic, small but not too small. Great for long distance traveling. Adjustable steering wheel.

Most reliable car I have ever owned. Love it.

The most comfortable. Love the look. Love the style, tires, wheels, interior. Over all the best looking car in my book. Not bad priced at all.

Love everything about my Kia Forte.

It is comfortable and great on gas. Fun and smooth to drive. Definitely worth every penny and all the time at the dealership. A true pleasure to drive!

Great power in small size

OK on gas but I thought I wouldve gotten better mpg. Great acceleration and the perfect size. The only complaint is that it didn't come in more colors.

Love the Forte

Love this vehicle. The gas mileage an the ride is so amazing. I would say to put other colors on the dash besides Red, just a thought. I am very impressed with the Forte. I went in to get another Soul, cause i love the soul too, but after test driving the forte, I fell in love. The get up and go and the room for my kids and all of the sports equipment is amazing. Love Love love

Coolest car I've every owned!

The Kia Forte met all of my needs. The seats are comfortable, I really like that the car still has a CD player and is good on gas.
