Used 2023 Kia Forte for sale near Rapids, NY

My husband and I have had the pleasure of working with Certified Auto for our last 4 vehicles, and each experience has been outstanding. They excel at mitigating the stress of finding the perfect vehicle to meet our family and budget needs. I strongly recommend them to everyone. Their commitment to customer satisfaction is evident in the way they treat clients, akin to treating their own family, and that is an understatement. We would not consider an alternative. Thank you, Justin, Chris, and Travis.

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!

Brought it in for a check engine light on. Was still under warranty and had it back in a few hours

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.

A+ Great dealership! This is how buying a car should be! Salesman Mark is a great guy!

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

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 have bought all my vehicles there for the past 15 years and had all of them serviced there as well. They are great to deal with. I wouldn't go anywhere else. They care about their customers.

Matthew was excellent to talk to. Really helpful. Answered all my questions after he set up my Kia Connect and phone contacts. He was really good

Great service, excellent techs and great front desk service , went in for a oil change and tire rotation, service was prompt they told me it would be a wait it was no longer then 30 minutes before my car was pulled in

The service manager (Mark) I was working with was exceptional. He was able to get my car repaired and was diligent in letting me know where in the process my repair was.

Mike Maniscalco great sales rep. very helpfull. freindly and knowledgeable would buy from him again, thanks Mike

Anne was cool, twenty five six seven eight nine ten eleven twelve thirteen fourteen fifteen sixteen seventeen eighteen nineteen twenty one two three four five

Mark was great in service. He kept me updated with the steps of the process. He is the reason I come there. Reliable and trustworthy

Had my yearly inspection done. Was taken care of promptly. Mark was pleasant and courteous in his interaction with me. The facility remodel is coming along nicely!

Since 2017, my service representative (John)@ Paddock Chevrolet, has always gone above and beyond to answer any of my questions I may have had. He is professional. Courteous, and through Always!ALWAYS!! Paddock, in general, has also been the same!

Excellent service from start to finish. Great price wonderful customer care and service from telephone call to In person visit as well as the follow up

I was very pleased with all the people I dealt with. Fast responses from the emails I sent too. First time at this dealership. Will definitely recommend others to go there.

We had a great experience, and the purchasing process was easy and staff was extremely helpful and friendly. We will purchase again and will recommend to family and friends.

Joe Basil was very quick to respond to my inquiry! They even reached back out to me to see if there were any other questions I might have.

The Joe Basil dealership family includes a Classic Car dealer. I have purchased 2 classics from this dealer. Both vehicles were transported to Texas with transport worked into the deals. Both cars were bought site unseen - first time to ever do that for me! Sight unseen was quite nerve-wracking for me. Both vehicles exceeded my expectations and have been a pure pleasure to own & drive. My sales rep was Nick for both vehicles who was easy and up front to deal with. I will use Nick again on any future purchases, I continue to watch the Basil website for any other must have classics! Buy with total confidence!!

Recently I had to bring my Car to Kia for Service and they took me right away which I like and Didn't need to wait. I told them what was going on and left my Keys with them. The Gentleman that took care of me said not too worry and they will fix it. Before I knew it had some Coffee from there waiting Area which is nice and Clean. My Car was done and I was on the way Home. .. Thank you Kia
