Used 2023 Kia Forte GT-Line for sale near Costa Mesa, CA

JACOB KARATOPRAKLI took care of everything! Pickup was just like his description. Flew in and drove it home.

Bought the vehicle new in October of 2023. Now it’s March of 2025. Have yet to have an issue🤞though have heard of common problems many have had. I’ve put roughly 20 k miles on the car in a year and a half (mostly interstate driving). Technology package is lovely and the vehicle has an overall stylish feel. It’s important to keep in mind, though, that you’re buying a 20k dollar vehicle from 2023. It’s plastics galore in there, so, though stylish, the material quality isn’t the best. If you’re someone who takes care of your things, you shouldn’t have an issue! Use the maintenance schedule found in the Owner’s manual and this vehicle should get you where you’re going for a reasonable amount of years. That being said, if you’re trying to decide between and LX[S] and GT (not including GT-Line), choose the GT. Though you’re paying a little extra, you get a standard transmission with real gears (the car has more power than you’d think too) rather than the CVT found in the LX[S] (and GT-line). CVT tech has greatly improved within recent years, but they’re still known to be problematic at times. All in all, this generation of Kia seems to be more reliable than most previous gens. Definitely a real deal competitor with the carolla/civic and worth the consideration!

Like always, my experience with the dealership and this time with Joshua Cole was excellent. He was sure that I was satisfied with the service.

Bought a 2023 forte gt-line for my daughter. We have had the car for 13months and have driven about 12,000 miles. I honestly cannot believe the 1star reviews, nor should you. I was a loyal Honda fanboy for over 30 years before I bought this Kia. I bought a totally loaded Forte non turbo for a hair under 25k with a crazy good warranty. Why not? I figured. 13 months and 12k miles later it rides better, has more power and is quieter than the day we bought it! Zero issues with anything. No squeaks, rattles or interior flaws. Sadly no tire wear. I cannot wait to replace the Kuhmos it came with. It handles great and is fun to drive. My wife calls it “a peppy little thing”. And she drives a CX-5 turbo or my 5.7 liter ram. Over 40 mpg on highway and mid 30s driving around town. This is a fine car. Not a cheap version Hyundai. Much nicer IMHO than the Hyundai. For those knocking the resale… run the numbers and try to buy one as cheap as you say you sold yours for. The Harmon Kardon stereo sounds awesome! This is one of my favorite purchases because its value continues to surprise me. And they give a $500.00 military discount. Don’t buy based on my opinions go test drive one! Test drives are free. Go to carvanna or get on car gurus and see how cheap you can buy one a year or two old used one for.

I would like to thank Jorge & Ernesto from North Miami Mitsubishi for providing exceptional customer service.. My experience at the dealership was great!! I am extremely impressed how helpful and patient knowledgeable they were. The process was smooth and enjoyable. I highly recommend Jorge from sales & Ernesto from finance if anyone is looking for a new vehicle or used car North Miami Mitsubishi is the place to buy!! Thank u guys From Gabriel

I purchased my GT turbo - automatic in 2021 as 2022 model and my only regret was that didn’t wait for the cooling seats package. Great looking vehicle with above average performance and great fuel efficiency. It’s one of the best affordable sports sedans in the market and one of the few where you can actually fit a 6’ adult in the backseat. I’m looking to add another with my desired package soon.

Justin Wells provided a smooth process and was very knowledgeable. He made purchasing one of my favorite cars smooth and seamless. If you’re seriously looking for a car, go see Justin. He’ll take care of you!

Bought my Forte Gt line at Mathews of Blakley Kia, great salesman ship, i had Dylan, he was very knowledgeable. My Forte is beautiful paid under 23000. and got a car with alot of options other dealers would have charged you for looks great and performs well, i have read other reveiws that slam the kia brand but they have come a long way

I've been shopping at and getting service from Lou Sobh Kia since they day they opened. The team has always been exceptional. This is why I keep going back. Pierre is a wonderful salesperson with exceptional people skills. He made promises and delivered on them - a rare occurrence in the automotive sales world, but common among all the salespeople I've encountered at Lou Sobh Kia. He communicated clearly and effectively. Equally as importantly, the sales manager Chase Mueller made it his mission to ensure we got the deal we wanted.

I bought this vehicle in February of 2023. I have approximately 9,000 miles on it and it has performed flawlessly. It is very easy to drive and gets great gas mileage. Mine is Red (currant red) with black interior.

Excellent dealership. Clean, friendly, helpful, generous. Evan, Luke and the women in the service department are my favorite.

Great staff and facility. Jayden Willis provided us a great sales experience. Definitely would return to this deal ship!

Cameron at Larry miller ford was so kinda and made sure there was no funny business with the purchase of my new Bronco. I will definitely be buying all my vehicles from LHM Ford very happy!!

Checked all the boxes for me and helped to make things work, great help and support toward my new car! Thanks for all the help!!

I was pleased with the service of my car and was treated with professional courtesy. The waiting room was comfortable with refreshments and clean facilities

I had to get my first oil change. Superb work and professional. Thanks. Team. Peace.

We had purchased a previous vehicle for our son in 2017. After researching vehicles, we were called by another dealership to see a vehicle and were not treated respectfully. We decided to drive to Burton and visit the Preston Kia dealership. We were immediately greeted by James Cain, one of their product experts. He quickly worked with us, offering a very fair trade-in value, and worked diligently to secure financing for us. We could not have been happier with the entire process, and we heartily recommend James Cain and the Preston Kia dealership for their professionalism.

Always get great service at Overturff Kia! Everyone is friendly and attentive to my needs! I definitely recommend them for honest,dependable, friendly staff

The customer experience at Duval Acura is always superb! I am always greeted with a friendly smile, kindness, patience, and prompt service. The team members go above and beyond to communicate any information relative to my car services or necessary repairs.

Paul Shamoun at Honda Service is highly recommended! He is such an expert and has excellent customer service skills.

Very fast service. Professional workers and clean facility!

Luis was amazing. Sent pictures and updates throughout the service since I was at work. 10 out of 10

Professional associates, professional process, excellent experience. From start to finish, the dealership exceeded all expectations.

I came to Ken Grody Ford for a 2025 Ford Raptor and left with a truck I?m proud of?and an experience worth talking about. Dylan in sales went above and beyond. He wasn?t pushy, he wasn?t just trying to ?close a deal??he actually listened. That made all the difference. From the test drive to delivery, Dylan made the entire process smooth, professional, and efficient. He respected my time, answered every question straight, and made sure I understood exactly what I was getting. That kind of service is rare these days. This Raptor is a beast, and I couldn?t be happier with how everything was handled. Thanks to Dylan and the rest of the team at Ken Grody Ford?you?ve definitely earned a repeat customer.
