Used 2023 Kia Forte GT-Line for sale near Solon, OH

Friendly service,fast and easy. Willing to wheel and deal with me. Very thorough and no pressure at all. I will be back when my lease is up to do more business.

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!

Lindsey Valentine was most helpful getting us set up on Fords touch screen in the car. She explained things we did not know. She also told us to stop by if we had any issues. THANK YOU..

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 just purchased my 2nd Outback from the extraordinary Abe Brannan. The first purchase was a breeze and the car marvelous. This time it was like working with family. From the minute you step into the showroom everyone is ready to help. Thanks Dave H., Ben, and Josh. Nick, you make buying a car so easy, thank you. Abe, not only are you a very knowledgeable young man, you are truly a wonderful person, always ready to answer my many questions. Your smile and personality are endearing. You're the BEST. Cascade is the best Dealer around and Subaru is definitely my choice. Ask for Abe!

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.

My husband and I recently purchased a vehicle from this Ford dealership, and we had an absolutely outstanding experience from start to finish. We were fortunate to work with Mike Iemma, Ty Davis, Dominick Macreno, and Tracy Seery — each of them made us feel genuinely valued and completely at home. The level of professionalism, friendliness, and care they showed made us feel like family. My husband first made contact with Mike Iemma, it's rare to find someone in his position who takes the time to personally connect with customers and ensure they feel genuinely cared for. His leadership showed not just in how he managed things, but in the way he treated us—with kindness, respect, and a hands-on approach that made a lasting impression. A special thank you to Ty Davis, our salesman, who went above and beyond. He was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and attentive. Ty made the process smooth, stress-free, and even enjoyable — which isn’t always easy when buying a car! We were also treated to a delicious lunch while we were there, which was such a thoughtful and unexpected gesture. Every interaction we had was handled with honesty, warmth, and a true sense of customer-first service. We can’t say enough good things about this team. If you're in the market for a car and want a dealership that truly cares, this is the place to go. We will absolutely be recommending them to friends and family.

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

Renee was great she got me into a nice care she is the lady to see she knows what she’s doing, my first time meeting her I instantly felt comfortable and hospitality was great I’d recommend her to everyone if you need a car!!!!!

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.

This is my second vehicle I purchased from Classic Hyundai. Dan took time with me and showed me how to use everything in the SUV. I would recommend Dan and the team there for all the help they provided. Great people and great service! Jill

Quick and reliable service. Belinda Frost was very friendly and approachable about offering advice and assistance with services

Car buying can be a tedious process. I had been in the thick of car buying for about 2 weeks when Martial from Halleen Kia contacted me. From the first phone call, I felt seen, supported and I knew that I was in good hands. Everything went so smoothly. All information given was up front so I could make an informed decision and he was very considerate of what my particular needs were. Martial was phenomenal! The Team at Halleen was dynamic! They made my family & I feel welcomed and I appreciate that. I am the proud owner of a brand new Kia Sorento & will definitely go back to Halleen for all of my needs as well as my family.

Steve was very helpful in getting eveything needed to buy my first car! I appreciate it!

Kobe was an excellent representative. Very professional and thorough and thoughtful. Definitely an integral part of your organization. You need more service reps to his high standards.

Nevada did a great job. Thank you so much everyone was very nice and helpful

Have Been coming to Van Devere for several years and have always had 5 star service . They are honest dependable and take great care of their customers and cars !

Tim listened and found the perfect car for me. It was an easy process and he made it fun. All of the staff were outstanding.

A very seamless experience. The waiting area was stocked and there was comfortable seating. The t.v?s were mounted so you could watch television as well. Over all a good experience.

I would highly recommend halleen kia! Great customer service and excellent work fixing my car! Todd at north olmsted handled my situation and concerns perfectly!

D was so friendly and helpful. they communicated with me the whole time on the status of the repair and when my car would be ready.

Our salesperson, Randy, was a pleasure to do business with and was very patient with our schedule and availability. I will certainly recommend the dealership and Randy in the future.

JJ was the best while purchasing my car.i told him what I wanted ...he found it...most friendly down to earth salesman I ever met. Referred him to my daughter and he sold her a car.that in itself was a big challenge.😁

This place is amazing!!! A huge shout out to Lance Bell and Dave. They went above and beyond for us to get us in the vehicle we wanted. We live in PA and although the dealership was an hour and a half away it was soooo worth the drive!!

Halleen Kia provided service to my car and they were terrific! Service Advisor Mark Piccolomini was particularly helpful and explained every detail in a congenial, understandable and professional way. I would definitely recommend Halleen Kia service department.
