Used 2023 Kia Forte for sale near Absecon, NJ

Very happy with service today Was fast and comprehensive and was kept up to date on what was found Costly repairs were discussed with me before proceeding

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!

Nicole was great! She followed up after our first meeting and worked to get us the vehicle and pricing we wanted. Wasn?t pushy but stayed in touch for multiple days until we made the purchase then followed up after to make sure everything was ok. We?ll definitely be back because of Nicole?s amazing 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.

Purchased my first vehicle from here. Thank You John for all your help in purchasing my new SUV. I was referred here by a friend and I will most defiantly refer others!!!

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.

Excellent from start to finish! Easy to make appointment check in was excellent. Excellent 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

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.

everything was taken care of in a timely manner staff was attentive & very friendly they seem to take customer satisfaction to a great level

My husband and I purchased a 2023 Kia Sportage XL from Matt Blatt Kia. Rich Ferretti was our salesperson. We couldn’t have asked for a better person for our purchase! Rich was so attentive to our needs and the accessories we required. We love our Kia and Rich is the best!!!

Very good dealership. They go above and beyond to assist with any issue. We have bought 2 vehicles from them and on both experiences they went above and beyond to get us to where we needed to be

Called with an emergent issue. Service reception (forgot name) was courteous, understanding and provided appt within a couple hours. Service Advisor Michael was excellent; he was courteous , professional and accommodating. Service proposed was provided as promised.

Had a great experience at Manahawkin Kia. My salesperson, Cono, was very helpful and friendly! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a vehicle!

As always polite and professional . Keep you informed as to what is going on. Good coffee’

Great service experience. Advisor kept me updated throughout the process while I enjoyed drinks, snacks and a movie in their comfortable lounge. 100% recommend. They also washed my car, which I wasn't even expecting.

I was contacted first by the internet team who help setup an appointment at the dealership. I was then helped by Tim who was very easy to deal with and professional. Last, I met with Frank (Manager) who was extremely upfront and honest about the buying process. I was very happy .

Excellent service department even without an appointment. Clean & comfortable waiting area with beverages & cookies available. We were in & out within an hour with the service completed as required. Like the fact that washed the car & completed the service within the promised timeframe

I bought a new 2024 Kia Carnival from Rich F. and he was awesome! This is my 2nd vehicle purchase from him and love that he was not pushy on the final sale and genuinely cared that I got into a vehicle that I loved to fit my family size. I did not feel any pressure in the buying process. I was in and out within 1 hour and had a great smooth transaction. I will continue to return to my sales guy Rich F and stay loyal to Matt Blatt Kia because of the awesome experience I have had on my 2 sales with Rich!
