Used 2023 Kia Forte LXS for sale near Shelby, NY

Dealership was being remodeled but the sales team and finance department were great Only 1 1/2 hours to finalize the purchase. Will recommend to friends and family

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!

Great service department, they took my car in quickly and did a LOF and rotated the tires. Did a yearly inspection. I had a recall taken care of also. I had things to do at home and they gave me a courtesy ride home.

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.

Mark and his team worked hard to diagnose the problem with my heated seats and went above and beyond to get it repaired. So happy it is done before our brutal Winter! Great job!!

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.

Very laid back and helpful sales staff. They help me find a great used car at a fabulous price

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

Mike Maniscalco great sales rep. very helpfull. freindly and knowledgeable would buy from him again, thanks Mike

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.

Recently just bought a 2024 Seltos. Great experience. Did not feel judged or taken advantage of. Bradley Toole was a great sales rep. 10/10 recommend anybody to work with him. He makes the process easy and is willing to listen and work with you and your budget.

I give Lourie Bruner 5 stars for the awesome service she does. She’s definitely a great asset to the company. I’ve been going to Lia Honda for quite a few years now.

Working with Bailey Braunscheidel made the process go smooth purchasing my new Kia Sportage! I would recommend him to friends and family members looking to buy a Kia.

First time foreign car buyer, service is great. Car was done after hours shuttle driver went home, quite pleased to hear that they sent an Uber driver to pick me up. Thank you. Washing my car and bringing it to me in the garage it's very impressive, again thank you.

We had a really nice experience at Northtown KIA and Haley helped us with patience and was very knowledgable. She guided us through the whole process and helped us to find the cars that really fit us.

Excellent service from start to finish. Great price wonderful customer care and service from telephone call to In person visit as well as the follow up

Service personnel greet you as you enter. Then bring your car into garage & show you to lounge area giving you a time frame for service. They were spot on with wait time ! Very pleased with experience!
