Great car awesome safety features

I fell in love with the color. Couldn't do a base model needed a push to start. Ended up with the middle model with all of the safety features still in my budget. Drivers seat is a hit snug for me as a plus size driver but it has grown on me for size I love the lane assist pre crash detection and blind spot detection. Not to mention Kia has ubo for life with free roadside.

Love It! And the 35 mpg.

Great features and comfort sold me. The price was right with no pressure at ANY step of the entire process. The smooth ride and seat comfort are wonderful. The leg and head room were a surprise to me.

Very economical. Love the comfort

I love the handling of the forte. I love the fact I have hardly any blind spots. We looked at a Honda Civic and for the price difference forte was the way to go.
