Used 2023 Kia Forte for sale near Battle Creek, MI

I had a Wonderful experience! John Kerry was very attentive, honest and helpful. It didn't feel like I was being talked into anything, he thoroughly explained every step in the process and made my first car buying experience to smoothly as could be expected! #LuckyBuyersClub

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!

Neko did an awesome job! Very helpful and easy to talk to. Super nice guy

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.

Thank you so much for all your help! I am so happy with my purchase. Couldn’t have had a better salesperson!!

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.

I drive in from Kalamazoo to have oil change. Toby does a great job with getting this done . Very professional and great customer 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

As always, Matt a.k.a. "Pinky" was fantastic to work with. Easy and transparent transaction. Highly recommend him for any car needs. Customer service still does exist and Matt provides the best.

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.

absolutely phenomenal service. came here with my boyfriend to buy his car and i wish i had come here for mine. john kerry took the time to fully explain everything that comes with getting a car loan for the first time. they are absolutely amazing here. the car he bought is a ford blue certified, so we took it to our mechanic to verify everything was good to go. mechanic said it passed with flying colors. i highly recommend coming here! #LuckyBuyersClub

Neko was great! He was very helpful and helped us find a car within our price range.

Shout out to Ron he is a great car salesman very respectful very understanding and he will help you get into whatever fit you thank you Ron

Pinky is absolutely amazing. My car that I just bought from him last year got into an accident and totaled and I was on a time crunch, he got me in a new car in less than 24 hours.

Jake and Noah made the car buying experience as smooth as possible, even when unforeseen things came along. They worked hard to get us exactly what we wanted, were patient in answering all our questions and didn’t make me feel pressured at all, which is so refreshing when it comes to a big purchase like a car. Ashly was so helpful and patient in completing the car purchase. She’s just one of those people who can make you feel instantly comfortable. Nicole helped walk us through all the technology in our new Kia Carnival, and made it feel so much less overwhelming. Amanda (or Ms. Amanda as my kiddos called her) made our kids feel welcomed and seen which was so sweet. Both our kids would look for her every time we went back. Shopping for a car with a 3 and 5 year old can feel overwhelming, but the whole team really made it so much easier. Our kids keep asking us when we can go back. Noah always had a snack ready and a smile for our kiddos too. He really seems to enjoy his job and the families he works with. They really are a special team at Seelye Kia. Would definitely recommend them to everyone. Go, buy a Kia. You’ll have a great experience. I’m sure of it.

Traded in our Kia K5 and got a Kia Seltos. We have purchase 6 cars with Ashly McNairy. Won't go anywhere else thank you!

Ashley is amazing. I would not buy a car from anyone else. Amazing service everytime.

Our 2011 Terrain was making horrible noises when turning right or left. They were able to diagnose & fix the problem with the AWD.

I had a fantastic experience at seeyle’s leasing my first vehicle. Kyle was a huge help in getting me the exact car that i wanted. Was willing to bring me any car i needed to test drive. Travis was great with paperwork and a down to earth person to do business with. And lauren was helpful as well getting my app up and running and going over coversge plans. Loved the experience
