Phenominal Gas Mileage

I have put only 1600 miles on my new Forte but I am SO impressed with gas mileage. Drove over Stevens Pass, from Edmonds to Lake Chelan on less than four gallons. Does well in city driving, too. Controls easy to use. The manual transmission is responsive, although RPMs a little high in lowest gears. Sound system is good. I really enjoy driving it.

Noisiest Car

I am currently driving this car and the road noise is unbelievable. Even on new pavement the road noise is to loud to hear the radio unless I turn the volume up. I was considering buying one but not now

Love the Kia Forte!

This is my 2nd Forte from Kia and I love this car. Performance, comfort, and looks are the best for a small car! It?s not too small and not too big! Plus the warranty from Kia is awesome! This is a very reliable car!
