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 had an exceptional experience at Matt Blatt, thanks to Stanford Baddley! From the moment I walked in, Stanford went above and beyond to ensure I found the perfect car for my needs. He was knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely cared about making the process as smooth as possible. Stanford answered all my questions with professionalism and ensured I felt confident about my decision. The entire team at Matt Blatt made the experience stress-free and enjoyable. If you’re looking for top-notch service and a great selection of vehicles, I highly recommend Matt Blatt and specifically Stanford Baddley. You won’t be disappointed!

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.

Stanford was recommended to my by two different friends as someone I could trust and is great to work with. Even tho it was a very busy day there, he made sure I had his attention and took good care of me. Go and see Stanford!!

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.

Great staff definitely would recommend buying from them. Although looking for a car is a process they were very helpful and kept us well entertained. Funny staff lol

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

Where do I start? I needed a 2nd car and already had 1 open loan. Enters Avi, my sales consultant. He was upfront, very professional and confident in his skill. He told me what he could do and he delivered. GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE and I'll be seeing him again. The buying process was not that bad, like any business the bank wants to make sure they are entering and making a good deal. Eric (I believe he is the manager), gave me a number and achieved that. That number was 2 hours max, he would have a deal for me. My buying process lasted almost 4 hours, included in that time was moving the vehicle, providing a full tank of gas, cleaning the vehicle and CHECK THIS OUT, making a quick video inside and outside. All this in 4 hours. No experience or information for the quality of repairs, I hope I do not gather any as well. The car runs great for the first two days. Nice clean and comfortable facility, all the staff was pleasant, entertaining and friendly. Avi, assured me throughout the process, I would be driving home w/ a 2nd vehicle and that I have now. I won't recommend him for president just yet, but I'll go out on a limb and say, " he might be the salesman of the year" (and we're half way through January 2021). Did I mention, I also received a 32" flat screen TV w/ my purchase? YEEEESSSSSS, Thanks again Eric. Overall GREAT experience, I recommend Highline Automotive.

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.

After 5 dealerships I 100% recommend these guys/girls! Non hassle experience. Car was in excellent condition as they have a shop there for reconditioning and they did not have any outstanding fees. They were hands down much easier to deal with than any of the previous dealerships. Everybody was very welcoming! If they have the car you like definitely give them a shot!

My appointment was at 9:45. Took me early. Hour Explained everything and told me how long. It was if I was there for 10 minutes and my car was done. ( my actual time there was an hour but the waiting area was comfortable with lots of goodies. ) The desk rep was extremely helpful and I would not hesitate to go there. Thank you, Manahawkin Kia. No stress. You guys do a great job.

Raceway Kia provides first class service, staff are professional courteous and friendly. Vehicle is always returned within the timeframe communicated and is thoroughly cleaned inside & out. I highly recommend Raceway Kia!

Héctor was the best sales rep I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with and got the best deal possible. Definitely recommend. Ask for hector!

Amazing Dealership. I have shopped for cars all my life and I was so pleased at Matt Blatt Kia of Toms River for treating me the customer with respect and informing me of the MANY options in my Kia Sportage. The patience of the sales person Stanford Baddley was exceptional. Looking for a KIA go to Matt Blatt Kia and ask for Stanford Baddley and tell him JoAnn sent you!

I have been dealing with this dealership for years. I just leased my 4th Kia from them. They always come through with the best deals and the monthly payments I’m looking for. Scot my salesmen keeps in touch with me even after I got each of my new cars. I would recommend Turnersville Kia to anyone looking for the best deal.

Sales person was ultra friendly and personable. We were able to relate to each other on many aspects. The purchasing process was pleasant with no pressure. The sale went smooth and dealer was accommodating. I was given a great deal of time and was shown many in-stock vehicles.

The GM Jim and his staff are great people To deal with. Very pleasant buying experience

Has a problem w car after a service visit w Kia - let them know, Kia serviced it & so far everything is working the way it should.

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

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

Got an amazing deal on my 2024 Kia Sportage EX hybrid. Really happy with my new car!

This is the second time I dealt with Hector Davila from Kia-Freehold. As always he exceeds my expectation. Help me get a Telluride a few years back and now he was able to assist me the 2025 Kia Carnival Ex. It's always been a pleasure working with Hector.

Working with Stanford baddley was a great experience. He asked what I wanted and didn’t want. Everything went quickly and I drove away with a beautiful brand new car. Will definitely see Stanford in 3 years when my lease is up. Great guy and a caring salesman
