First time owning a brand new car in 50 years

This car has a beautiful sleek body. Tinted windows with a GPS system. Lots of leg room and a huge trunk. Rides so smooth on the road and has a little get up and go. Great on gas

Dependability is why I bought 3 of them

Great mileage and awesome warranty, the performance and handling are comparable to more expensive models of the same size but with a lower price tag!

Excellent Value for the Money

this car exceeds everything that I was looking for in a new car. Leased it for the exact price that was advertised.

I love kia

This car gets amazing gas mileage. The touchscreen console is so cool and fun. Plus having an app to link with the car is amazing. My one downfall is that the steering wheel doesn't come up as much as I would like.

I liked the Kia Forte S technology package

Good warranty 10 yr 100,000 mile drive train. Lot of nice features at a reasonable price. Good JD Powers rating. I like the safety features in the S technology package.

Great car

This car is very nice. The exterior styling is beautiful and the interior is spacious modern and comfortable. I got the ?S? version which I?m very happy with. The sports drive mode definitely makes it fun to drive. It?s no BMW but it?s got enough power when you need it. Very happy with the car and it?s priced nice as well.
