I love my Kia Forte

I test drove a lot of vehicles prior to buying my Kia. I found the Kia to be much more comfortable and attractive. It gets great gas mileage and has plenty of power. Beautiful car!

Sleek elegant affordable car.

My Kia Forte is sleek, good looking and comfortable. I had been driving a Mercedez Benz, but it was old and expensive to fix and maintain. The back window offers a bit smaller view than I am used to, but I'm sure I will become accustomed to it. Has a lot of nice features such as Bluetooth wireless for your telephone, and perks for the first 3-5 years such as free oil changes, washes, tire rotation. I'm enjoying it immensely.

Best warranty

Car was exactly what my daughter needed! The warranty is best in class and the main reason we purchase Kia's. The warranty will be good as long as the loan.

Loved the Kia

I had driven a Forte for four years and after looking at several cars, decided to purchase another Kia Forte. I really like the trunk room. Can easily get 3 golf bags in it.

Best car I've ever owned!

I was shopping for a SUV because I have 2 kids still in car seats. I really didn't think that a car would work. However, the salesman showed me a Forte and it had way more room and was perfect for me and my family. Not to mention about 6,000 cheaper!!
