Used 2023 Kia Forte for sale near Lealman, FL

Purchased two vehicles tonight. Metin and staff were great to work with and would highly recommend them. They went out of their way to make sure we were satisfied. Great staff and great experience!

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!

I always have good care when I Am attending the service department the brandon Honda

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.

Love Nick Edwards. He is the best at Brandon Kia, I always request him, I know the others are great as well, but Nick is my favorite.

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.

Archie was so very nice made car buying a great experience . Took his time showing my sister every car on the lot taking time to test drive and walked her through every step from financing to insurance very nice to all of us best experience

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

Came for an oil change, had an amazing breakfast omelette, and then looked at a new civic!

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.

I took my car to Courtesy Kia of Brandon for a tire repair and they fit me right in and got me back on the road in a reasonable amount of time. Brad was my service advisor and he keep me informed of the progress of the repair. I appreciate the communication updated and would recommend Courtesy Kia of Brandon.

Great worker overall great experience satisfied customer will recommend to all friends and family ex.

Excellent service. Mr. Ernesto helped me throughout the entire process, cleared up my doubts, and made buying my car easier.

10/10 experience, the staff was really patient and answered all questions thoroughly. I appreciate the kindness shown and will continue to tell my friends and family to look here first when looking for a car.

I had a service on 03/23/25 which even through I did show up a little late they did my service immediately and my car was ready after 2hrs.

Very good car very nice I’m coming and buying another one thanks for car

My last five cars have been Keys, and I found that this. dealership is the greatest.

From the moment I drove in I was greeted with friendly, caring personnel. I purchased 4 tires and some other parts. Erich Freeman, service, and Rodney (parts manager) were very friendly and helpful on advising me of special offers and warranty of tires. I bought my car at this dealership. I have always been treated with courtesy and respect. I have recommended this dealership for service. My sister also bought her car here.

Great dealing with Juan Londono and his team. They took care of me with a deal over the phone mostly and had a car ready for me the day after they received it. Thank you!

I went in to purchase a car after 8yrs of not having a car payment and Denis was my sales rep and he was very friendly and helpful a d professional. Not once did I deal pressured to buy something or put any extra money Denis definitely worked his butt off to help me get into a car thought wasn't possible. He's a keeper and very smart and just wants to make the customer happy and welcome
