Used 2023 Kia Forte LXS for sale near Coronita, CA

Salesman Trey made the process easy and fast. I gave him the criteria I was looking for and he delivered even with my not so great credit. No hassle and no xx that I have gotten at other dealers.

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!

The staff at Pomona Kia are very professional, courteous, knowledgeable, and reliable. The work is completed in a timely manner and you’re updated on the status.

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.

Excellent service! Got in and out with the car of my dreams! Alex was a big help

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.

Had the chance to stop by at one of the locations. Chris was very informative and had great customer service. Wanted to leave this review as a thank you for his great service.

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

Trey helped my husband and I get our first family car! The process was easy and the deal was great!

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.

Thank you David R, and Rene for your help getting my first car! Amazing experience!

I really appreciated Kia Irvine -Andrew Ferran - taking the time to review my concerns. He personally instructed me with a suggestion to try (rather than upsell servicing that I didn’t necessarily need immediately.) TY again Andrew

Spent a lot of time looking for the best deal and came across HB Jeep. Called in and Jose Vargas was very friendly and helpful. He was able to secure me an amazing deal.

got my Nissan stolen, been heartbroken about it , frank helped me get into a M4, can't stop smiling now thank you frank

Amazing. Love this dealership. They always have amazing service when servicing my vehicle. Brad helped me last time and was so helpful, he made sure I was taken care of and informed throughout the whole process. Love this place!

What a great experience! The entire team worked to “win my business”! We made it happen and I am thrilled. Enzo and Michael were my advocates in the process and Carlos really ensured I fully understood all the finer points of the contract and options. I highly recommend this Dealership to anyone who is looking to feel valued and appreciated.

Easy to set up appt for service. Car is operating very well. Very pleased with communication and progress of vehicle during the work performed. Clean waiting area.

Ivan Caervantes , the sales person I was in contact was easy to work and had a good experience in buying the car . One of the reason to go with this dealer is the initial experience I had with Ivan .

Amazing service! Caring and attentive to my auto requests. Chris was a tremendous help. He was so patient and kind. Go get a car from STG! I have nothing but good things to say about my experience

Vehicle was exactly as advertised, no pressure sale. Zach Harper took great care of us and addressed our questions effectively. They offered all the extras in an easy to understand format explaining the pros and cons then let us make the decisions that worked best for us. 10/10

Juanita Moran was very Polite and worked with my schedule I live in riverside ca. It's a drive to Toyota of Claremont but I like to go there because Juanita has made me feel welcome and she took care of my car and had it washed thank you again Juanita 😊

I went to get my oil changed at Riverside Kia dealership and it went out good I met a man name Armando Gomez here yo sit with you tell you what you are going to be getting with your car so yes I recommend Riverside Kia

the team here is the best i would not take my vehicle to any other location

Mission Viejo Kia was great. Mike was awesome and got me in the Kia Forte that I wanted. He was super helpful going over everything with me. I was never pressured in getting anything I didn't want. Going through the process of buying a new car can be stressful but I didn't feel that here. I appreciated their help.

Easy and straightforward. I got a super great deal from them after going to 2 other dealers. Jamal (Jimmy) was the best and got me the best deal.
