2012 Kia Forte EX review

2012 Kia Forte EX 2. the absolute best car in the

So I got 2012 Kia Forte EX, 2.0L, for an amazing price! How much and why, you ask? High mileage and cracked windshield, and wasn't cleaned up by the dealership yet. I just happened to see it right after the dealership took it. The window doesn't affect my sight. The high miles are because it was used for a work car. Where I live you travel an hour 1 way for most people. Didn't care about the miles. It was taken care of properly and I have been to. The only thing that drives me crazy if the timing click.i looked up how to fix it. It's a free fix. I've had to learn how to work on my own car since I don't have my husband here. Y'all I'm a 44 year old woman with DISABILITIES! I can work on this car without being totally confused and lost. I've learned to do my own brakes, which takes me longer to get the dang tire off than replacing the brackets and brake pads. I've learned to do a few other things too. I'm learning how to change my alternator this weekend. With a mechanic by my side telling me what to do every step of the way. I now have 250k miles on Batman, my kid's named the car, and I know he'll run another 250k as long as I keep up.on regular maintenance. You know oil changes, tune ups, and getting to know your car's every feel and sound. knowing if my car sounds funny or not acting right is important to me since I'm not able to run out and buy a new car or afford a shop to take it too. I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE my Kia Forte EX. I can truly and honestly say the ONLY thing I hate on Batman is that he has a sealed system, meaning you can't check nor add transmission fluid. You can but you gotta be smart enough and brave enough to figure it out. It's possible for a non-mechanic to do this but I highly do not recommend you try it of you don't know what your doing. Overall this has been an amazing car and I'm never getting rid of it. It's amazing on gas, 28 miles per gallon still, in town! I'm moving 1500 miles away in another 5 weeks and I'm excited to see what kind of mileage I'll get. I recommend this car for someone getting their 1st car, or wants 1 to travel for work, a small family car, or just plain wants a cute car. I've always been a big Dodge and Ford fan, Kia's are now on my list of favorite vehicles. I'll definitely be crying when I give this car to my son in 2 more years when he starts driving.

Briggs Kia review

I have enjoyed my Kia.

I have enjoyed my Kia. I began with a used Sorento and later I upgraded to a new one. Briggs has always been great to work with which is why I plan to continue. Allen is very good. He is friendly and always makes sure I am satisfied with the service of my Kia and always takes care of any concerns I may have. Nice work Allen!

2012 Kia Forte LX review

This was a workhorse.

I purchased this car like new with just over 1000 miles on the odometer. I owned it long enough to put over 200000 miles on it and overall it was a great vehicle. At about a 170000 miles, it started showing its age and I ran into a few minor problems as I approached the 200000 mile mark. I believe that with a little TLC, these cars can last up to 300,000 miles. It is a Kia, so the fit and finish is not 100%, and also they do not like to be neglected on maintenance. Other than that it was a great vehicle and if you need a little car and you're on a budget then look no further.

2012 Kia Forte EX review

Stout little car

I own the 2.0l EX model. Everything is excellent on the car except for 2 subjective gripes; I do a lot of highway driving and the road/wind noise is pretty loud. The other would be that the stock suspension is pretty rough around town. It doesn’t really “absorb” the hits from bumps/potholes. Aside from that, excellent reliability, great mpg, tons of space both for passengers and storage, and AMAZING sound system.

Springs Automotive Group review

Super Satisfied

I recently purchased a truck from SAG Denver, I have had a very positive and professional experience with the sales and service departments. I normally avoid dealerships at all costs, however I came across a beautiful truck that I was having difficulty finding on the private market. I enquired online and was replied to very expediently. I received a no pressure call from a sales person who scheduled an appointment with me. When I arrived, I was greeted and assisted immediately. I test drove the truck with Tracey, who by the way, I highly recommend working with. After driving and inspecting the truck for a bit, I detected what is a common mechanical problem with that type of truck. I brought it up to Tracey and the sales manager Dan and my concerns were immediately acknowledged and validated. Dan did not try to gloss over my concern or argue that there was an issue, instead, he gracefully offered to have the repairs made along with any other contributing or resulting damage as needed. I left the truck with them to begin the repairs, unfortunately it was a bit more involved than originally thought. There ended up being a significant amount of engine work needed, nothing that could have possibly been detectable without opening up the motor. I think most dealerships would have somehow tried to find a way to charge me or unwind the deal rather than proceed with completing all necessary repairs and making the truck run properly. I have several other vehicles so I wasn't by any means inconvenienced, however I did purchase the truck because I had to haul some things for family. After the repairs ran into an extended period of time I did email to express my concerns, I received a call from Dan offering me another truck from their inventory until the repairs were completed on mine. I can't express enough how impressed and pleased I am with the entire experience with Springs Automotive in Denver, I would definitely recommend them and would buy from them again.

2012 Kia Forte EX review

Sporty, roomy and reliable!

I found my Kia Forte after about six months of searching all sorts of models and makes. It met all my needs. It is incredibly safe as it is so easy to see 360 degrees around the car. The cargo space in this little car cannot be beat!! I previously owned a mini van and am used to lots of room. My husband and I took a two week road trip in this and our luggage included a spinning wheel, small loom, guitar, set of golf clubs, all our cloths for two weeks and we actually had room to purchase a chair to bring home AND we could still safely see out the back window. This little car really packs a lot! The bluetooth function is great for voice command calls while driving. No navigation of call options is required, a simple touch of one button from the steering wheel with the voice command of a name to call, and you are in touch. In the 6 years I have owned the car I have replaced the tires twice, the oil regularly, the battery and the recently the brakes. That is the total of all maintenance the car has required. It doesn't get the quoted mileage, but is decent on gas. Overall it has been an incredibly dependable car that was reasonably priced and I am proud to drive.

We bought a 2003 Dodge Ram 2500 for our grandson. It was a pleasure working with Kelly Straight on the sale. Would I buy from Missoula Car & Truck again? Absolutely! Would I recommend buying from them? Without a doubt! By the way, my grandson loves the truck. Thank you Kelly.
