2023 Kia Forte LXS review

I purchased my GT turbo - automatic in 2021 as 2022 model

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.

Always polite, always professional. Bought my F150 from there in 2019 and have never had an issue. Again very professional. Dave Soloman is the best Salesman in the world and their service team are great technicians and speedy also. The late hours are a blessing.

2023 Kia Forte LXS review

Love my Kia Forte LXS w/ Technology Package.

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.

Spitzer Ford Cuyahoga Falls review

My experience at Al Spitzer Ford in Cuyahoga Falls was

My experience at Al Spitzer Ford in Cuyahoga Falls was incredible from beginning to end. I found a used car listing on cars.com and sent a request about the vehicle. The salesperson, Lauren Reitz was helpful right from the start and answered all my questions. The sales manager, Patrick Zanko was super helpful and never pressured me into a decision. When I didn’t like the first car I looked at both he and Lauren listened as I talked about what features I really wanted that the other one didn’t have. He called me a few days later to let me know of a vehicle that had just arrived that he believed had all the features I was looking for. That turned out the be the one I purchased! I was nervous about financing with my credit score but John White in financing worked his magic not only to find me financing but a payment way lower that estimated. I am so glad that I decided to go to Al Spitzer Ford in Cuyahoga Falls and grateful for such an incredible experience!

Ken Ganley Nissan Medina review

We always have good experiences here.

We always have good experiences here. The service department does quality work and recently had the pleasure of working with Rose in sales. We weren't looking for a new vehicle, just looking around and exploring latest options on latest Murano while our car was being serviced. She was great, so very helpful giving us whatever information we needed. Unfortunately, we feel now is not the right time for us to purchase a new car.

Cascade Subaru review

Worked with a great Representative

If you are looking for impeccable and professional service then you want to work with Josh Obenreder. Josh listened to my details and concerns and addressed them all. I couldn't be happier with my car and the service I received. Josh made promises and kept them. What more could you ask for when looking for your car? Do yourself a favor and make sure you work with Josh! It will be one of the best decisions you make when buying your car!

VanDevere Buick Kia review

I have purchased or brought friends to purchase seven KIA

I have purchased or brought friends to purchase seven KIA cars (Soul, Seltos, Sportage) in the past four years. Dave Sabitina has been my salesperson of choice for each of the transactions. He has gone above and beyond to ensure complete satisfaction with each purchase. I would not hesitate to recommend this dealership and Dave. My only complaint is that the car wash is terrible and I don’t use it, so the free car washes are not a perk.

2023 Kia Forte LXS review

Bought the vehicle new in October of 2023.

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!
