The Kia Forte is a very enjoyable car to drive. The comfort of the seats could be a little better, but overall it's a nice car.

2018 Kia Forte review
I bought my 2018 Kia forte Lx aurora black pearl 63k miles automatic transmission fully loaded. Absolutely gorgeous car inside and out! All xx Aside I absolutely love driving this car! It does everything I ask it to do and it's truly a joy to drive! I can't say enough about the features of the infotainment system and the beautiful interior! All of the safety systems make me feel amazing! I use a car cover on it when it's not being driven and I use the steering wheel club on the wheel when the car's not being driven. I Absolutely Love My KIA!!!!

Jones Kia and Used Cars review
Update, I just bought my 6th vehicle (2027 Telluride Prestige X-Pro) with Vance Majors. He is professional and I always go back to him for all my new vehicle needs. Great place to buy a vehicle. Between my wife, my daughter and myself this is the third vehicle bought from Jones Junction. Everything was a great experience. Jerry Huntley was great to work with. He knew the car and the specs and answered all my questions. I was in and out in under 3 hours, and only because I took my time. Thanks to everyone, the 2021 Forte GT is great.

Burlington KiaReviews
Burlington Kia review
Well...,initially I was excited to look into Burlington Kia because they were advertising a $99 a month lease special ,on the Seltos SUV.I was contacted by an online sales manager ( named Kevin) he urged my daughter and I to come in and promised us a great deal. So when we arrived and found out he doesn't (physically)work at Burlington Kia dealership,his departments online only and the blue Seltos LE ,we wanted wasn't in stock,consequently I was very upset and disheartened,when we first arrived:(.So I thought I'd be writing a bad review. Then we were introduced to a salesperson named Diana , she greeted us with a friendly smile and understanding disposition :).So we decided to see what they had to offer. She was very personable and seemed to be going out of her way to turn our experience around,and she did!☺️!We ended up having to go with a more expensive Seltos ,in gray ,but she was able to figure out a way for us to still get a decent deal. We had to haggle a little to get the sales manager to expect a lower offer, but he was pretty friendly,as well.So we got there.Diana was able to make me , my daughter and my mother feel at ease through the entire process,and painlessly incorporated my husband via phone,since he was at home sick .My first experience working with a car dealership was at age 22 ,when I bought my VW Bug .After that we've leased and bought Volkswagens,Toyota's a Honda and Hyundai's .Some experiences were o.k, and others were nightmares:(,from 1998-ntil now in June 2026,at age 49.All in all ,this time turned out to be the best experience I've ever had , leasing or buying a car,by far😃! Because it wasn't super stressful or unnecessarily tedious .I attribute that to us working with the nicest and most efficient salesperson,ever! She turned it into a great experience!! I recommend ,that anyone looking to lease or buy a vehicle, go to Burlington Kia ,and ask for Diana Christina!! Thanks for making my daughter Mia's first car leasing experience,and my most recent experience ,a great one ! Keep up the good work!!

Stevenson Hendrick Mazda Wilmington review
I purchased a used vehicle from Mazda in Wilmington. From the start, Megan was attentive to my questions and if she didn’t know the answer off hand, she wasted no time in finding the answer and letting me know. The entire process, including the test drive and the final delivery were handled efficiently and professionally. I’ll be more than happy to go back to them when the time comes for a new car.

This was the best experience I ever had with purchasing a vehicle, David, was very understanding what I needed, he showed me numerous vehicles , helped me with setting up the bank that would finance my car, for the best rate, I wasn’t nervous talking to him, he wasn’t pushy trying to get me to purchase a vehicle, I highly recommend this dealership to anyone looking for a used car, I left there happy with the purchase I made, hats off to Dave and his staff. I gave 5 stars , it they had more stars I would of given all of them, Thank you Dave😊😊😊⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

OFFLease OrlandoReviews
OFFLease Orlando review
Had a great experience purchasing my vehicle from OFFLease Orlando. From the moment I arrived, the staff was friendly, professional, and easy to work with. I never felt pressured or rushed, which made the entire buying process much more comfortable. They had a great selection of pre-owned vehicles, and I was able to find exactly what I was looking for. The vehicle was clean, in great condition, and everything was explained clearly throughout the process. The paperwork and financing process were also handled efficiently, and the team made sure I understood everything before moving forward. Overall, I’m very happy with my experience and with my vehicle. I would definitely recommend OFFLease Orlando to anyone looking for a quality pre-owned car in the Orlando area.
