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.

We had a very positive car buying experience with Bruno
We had a very positive car buying experience with Bruno at Signature Auto Sales and highly recommend him. He communicated clearly and was transparent throughout the process. This purchase was my daughter’s first car, which she had saved up to buy on her own. Bruno walked her through every step and was extremely patient, honest, and kind. The level of care Bruno puts into his business and his customers is truly unmatched. We are so grateful for such a seamless and positive car buying experience. Thank you!
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.

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.
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.

My first car
I have been searching for a few months for a car. This is my first car purchase and it was a very simple and easy transaction. The two people running the lot/shop are very nice and honest people who seem to actually take care of the cars they get. They also have a carfax for every vehicle on their website. Also with cars not on the site but you'd have to visit the lot. They helped me with everything I needed and I would defiantly purchase another car from them! Highly recommend!!
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.

Engine Damage Undiscovered Until After Purchase
Friendly staff, not too pushy; however, Buyer Beware -- they do a great job making a car look great both in pictures and in person, but the car we bought turned out to have nearly non-existent brakes, badly worn rotors, and, unfortunately, engine damage from having been run with little to no oil in the past. We checked the oil in the parking lot, looked new and topped off, and no signs of leaking. Didn't check the exhaust pipe, however, which would have given a clue to the amount of oil the engine was (is) burning. We discovered this upon getting a 120K mile service interval one week *after* purchase from XDrive -- they pulled the oil filter and there was a TON of metal shavings in it, and we soon discovered that its burning oil at the rate of approx. one quart per gas tank or six hours of driving time. Only way to have found this was to have it checked by a mechanic *before* purchase.

We bought a car here today.
We bought a car here today. Jafar the manager was great. He did not pressure us into anything. He let us take our time to decide which car was best for us. No haggling just like the ad says. No hidden fees is a plus in my books. All in All a good buying experience.

The experience with this dealership was spot on.
The experience with this dealership was spot on. Very kind salesman (Mike Smith), and very much informed of the details of the car. He worked with me to get the price that I felt I could live with. Unfortunately, the sale didn’t happen due to a move of household goods that was needing attention and that took precedence. THANK YOU ……. for all the good that came from start to finish. Hopefully it will still be waiting on me or another great deal!!!
