I really like the Forte.

My new 2020 Forte LXS is a great car.... Love the smart, normal and sport drive modes. Smooth ride not choppy or bumpy. It is a great selection for the price.

Great little car

I have been leasing many cars usually one luxury and one cheap commuter. This is my favorite cheap commuter. I love that they skipped the turbo, its small and has plenty of power and accelerates very well. Handling is just super. Reliability is great. I once killed my battery Kia stopped by in 15 minutes and gave me a boost. The car is cheap but the interior buttons and material are just well put together. There is very little road noise and the carplay is perfect. Overall I prefer to drive it to my Mazda cx9 GT.

1st ever brand new car

This car is just awesome . Gas mileage is well over 40 mpg on the highway . Only problem is that it doesn't have a cd player

2020 Kia Forte GT Line

This car is great! Looks great, drives well (I will say I miss the size of my Optima vs for Forte which is quite a bit smaller). The SPORT driving mode feature works great for highway driving.

Safest feeling car I've ever owned.

There is plenty of headroom in this car and it rides very smoothly. It's the LXS version of the Kia Forte family. This car is solid and makes you feel safe while driving it. Lane assist is a nice feature as well.

Fun to drive

I was surprised at how roomy it was. My daughters love the room and all the gadgets when I drive them to school. It has amazing gas mileage, lots of great features, looks amazing, and is so much fun to drive. My wife says I just look happy driving it. I can't say that for the last several cars I have driven. It is an amazing little car, and such a deal for the money.

New Car

This vehicle is beautiful! I love all the great features on it. It's comfortable and a pleasure to drive. I love the screen on the dash - makes it so much easier to read and also safer.
