Love my Kia Forte 2020!

I just bought it and really love it! I love the exterior design and gravity grey color! I love the dark interior which will be easier to keep clean. And I really love the large trunk!! I miss my CD player though but apparently they are going the way of the cassette player and 8 track player. Lol better cup holders in back would have been nice but I think maybe they're available on more expensive versions of this car. I cannot complain because I bought this car with no money down and a lousy trade in with current lease payments! I think I'll quit whilest I'm ahead. Haha!

Nice car/ except transmission

Great car mostly. Just under 1700 miles and needs new transmission. So much for reliability. On the way to visit family when it screwed up.

Great value for a modest price.

Just roomy enough inside. Incredible gas mileage. Nice styling. Good standard features. My son's inlaws were so impressed, they went out and bought one, too.

My daughter Loves the style!

We bought the Forte for our daughter and wanted Safety, Value and Looks. We were Not disappointed! The ride is smooth and quite. It looks are an eyecatcher, which my daughter loves! It's quick and has a lot of power for a small car!

Great car! I leased it!

The Kia Forte is a great car and meets all my needs. Has good trunk room (good for golf clubs!). Spacious. And just the right size for me.

A safe and dependable ride for my stepdaughter

A safe and dependable ride for my stepdaughter. Unfortunately her 1st Kia was totaled, but she came away from the accident unscathed. It was a no brainer to back with a Kia Forte for her replacement car.
