Disapointing safety feature of rear view mirror

The rear view mirror presents high vibration which difficults looking what is behind and can be very dangerous ¡¡¡¡¡. The mexican dealer explains it is characteristic of this model and can not be corrected.

Took a chance on a KIA and so far, very pleased

I have always owned trucks or sports cars, and all American. One of our trucks was hit in a parking lot, and while it was in the shop for repairs, we had a rental Nissan Sentra. We were impressed with the mpg’s And amount of interior room, so we looked at everything offered in that category of vehicle. I really liked the styling of the new KIA Forte, then when I went to go look at it, I liked the way the doors felt opening and closing, the car just overall feels very solid. Road noise is very low for a compact car, and the interior is very supportive and comfortable. The infotainment system is easy to use and seems to be very well thought out. I am averaging anywhere from 37 to 41 mpg, depending on where and how I drive. This seems to be about the best CVT style trans that I have driven, not constantly hunting around, or over revving all the time. My only complaint so far, is that after about 1000 miles, the cruise control started acting different and now runs the engine at a higher RPM than if I am driving the car manually. It drops my mpg’s and is a little noticeable in sound. I can literally be maintaining a constant speed driving down the road manually, and as soon as I set the cruise the tachometer jumps up anywhere from 500 to 1000 rpm, then stays there. As I do a ton of highway driving, this really annoys me.

Impressive Car

Has great power for a 2.0 engine and it is very smooth riding and also quiet. this Kia Forte 2020, has great mpg. I actually got 42 mpg on my last 100 mile trip. This is a great looking car and it does turn heads because of its great design.

Nicest car I have ever owned!!!

It drives/rides very smooth. Lots of leg room for my kids in back. Love the apple phone features in car. Backup camera is good. Love the big display for features.

Good car

we enjoyed test driving this car and so we purchased it. We found it to be very comfortable as well as have enough room for all four of us in our family. The vehicle work well as a commuter back and forth for my wife and as we travel together as a family.
