Affordable tho Loaded, Highly Rated, Just Great!

Meets our needs and then some! Awesome vehicle, with many features, but it was also a great lease price. It has electronic features we have never had before, and it drives beautifully and is comfortable. Smooth ride too.

Another great car from Kia.

The car is completely update inside and out. The design is fabulous to look at. I have had it for 2 weeks and am averaging over 40mpg driving in the city. On the highway was 43 mpg. I can't complain about anything so far.

Kia is living up to its word!

At the Dealership i was looking for something affordable and at least gets me to where I needed to. Originally i was looking at the sportage but i'm VERY glad that i got the Kia forte instead. Even though its not the Ex but the LXS trim it still gives you everything, Lane assist, Rear view camera, pedestrian monitor, 8in screen with apple car play and Android Auto when you want to use maps and other features. The car is super peppy when in sport mode. And while its not a optima or a stinger you can tell Kia took ideas from the stinger when it comes to the outer and inner appearances its a real good looking car, very reliable and tight when it comes to cornering and i'm glad i purchased it. Kia is living up to its word to bring affordable, reliable cars with high end features.

Great care for the price

This car is stylish and a great value for all of the basic features that are included in the base model. It had 6a surprising amount of legroom for a "compact" car. I'm 6ft tall and I can't have the seat all the way back. The comfort is outstanding, and the trunk is huge!!
