Used 2023 Kia Forte for sale near Orangetown, NY

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!

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.

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.

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

The service i received from Sally was the upmost terrific! She was very experienced and I am very happy with everything. The service she provided was excellent! I would highly recommend her if you are looking to buy a car.

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.

Thanks to Bill Walsh who managed to get the car detailed the night before and get me in and out before noon on a Saturday. I love it!

I recently purchased a Kia Seltos from Jack Daniel’s, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the experience. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the staff was professional and attentive. A special shoutout to Olga,who went above and beyond to make the process smooth and enjoyable. They were knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely invested in helping me find the perfect vehicle. They took the time to answer all my questions, explain the features, and ensure I was comfortable with my decision—without any pressure. The entire process, from test driving to finalizing the paperwork, was seamless. I truly appreciate the transparency and efficiency of the team. If you’re looking for a hassle-free car-buying experience, I highly recommend Jack Daniel’s and working with Olga and Carlos the Sales Manager. Thank you for making this such a positive experience! I love my new car!

I had a very positive experience working with Klaudia - she was very responsive and good to work with. The process was very smooth overall. Would recommend.

I had an excellent car buying experience at Jack Daniels Kia. Everyone I encountered was both pleasant and professional. My salesperson Camille went above and beyond to get me a great deal on a new Sportage. The big red bow on the hood of our new vehicle that greeted my wife and I when we pulled into the dealership was a thoughtful touch.

I must admit I was not ready to sell my car just yet however Artie was so persuasive in helping me find just the right solutions for my challenged situation considering I wasn't really expecting to get approved with just my trade in & a minimal out of pocket down payment but he made me an offer I couldn't refuse on 2021 Honda Accord that I was ready to buy out from my lease & put me in a beautiful loaded truck thanks again Artie go see him for any of your vehicle needs you won't regret it!

I personally want to thank Tony Donato, Manager for making my sale simple and painless. Tony was wonderful and so helpful. I highly recommend this dealership

This is the 5th car I buy from major world, was a nice experience even tho we always wait a little long, Arturo was our salesman and he wasn’t great, I recommend him if you come to major world

came in to buy a civic and drive out in an scura mdx quick easy and cheap, thank yoj all at power

Overall good experience. Odin Clark was my salesperson and he was very helpful. He was new so I had to be a little bit extra patient but I've been there before. The dealership does not carry a large inventory so you have to wait till the following day after you decide what you want to take delivery if they don't have the vehicle on the floor. I feel like I got a fair deal and they were willing to work with me which is nice. I received a short feature benefit presentation so I had to rely on YouTube to figure out how or what some of these features do and how they work . If I didn't do homework about the car that I wanted I might have got sold on something else. I bought the Kia Niro LX with the advanced technology package and the car runs great. I still can't figure out how the emergency braking works and why my windshield wiper fluid in cold weather smears up my windshield where I can't see. I have to constantly push the wiper fluid button to clear it up. It's very kind of annoying but I'm sure that I'll figure out how to overcome that.
