Used Kia Forte for sale near China Grove, NC

Josh Cresanta is truly one of the best in the business. He not only makes the entire service process seamless, but also takes the time to explain what?s happening with your vehicle in clear, easy-to-understand terms. Josh is the first person at a dealership I?ve fully trusted over the years, and his approach consistently reflects genuine care and professionalism rather than a scripted or robotic style. I have complete confidence in his ability to provide exceptional service, and he would be my first call for any questions or concerns regarding my vehicle.

I drive the 2023 Kia Forte GT Manual, and I couldn’t recommend this car more!! The only complaint I have is now that I’m trying to find a new car with a more fancy name to impress clients, I can’t find anything I enjoy nearly as much. The car is built on a BMW M3 chassis, has the luxury features and interior to match with an average combined fuel mileage of 34mpg and the reliability of a newly redesigned Kia. It handles phenomenally well and is unmatched within its price point. It loses value quickly (until the general population realizes their tech and reliability recently surpassed Toyota and Honda) so buy a used 2023 or 2022, and you’re smooth sailing. I drove this car from Philadelphia to Los Angeles and was complimented by strangers in almost every city I stopped in along the way!

I recently purchased a new Kia K5 from this dealership, and it was hands-down the best car-buying experience I’ve ever had. I worked with Chris Heartley, who made the entire process effortless from start to finish. There was no high-pressure sales pitch, no upselling, and no bait-and-switch—just a refreshingly honest and straightforward experience. On the day of the sale, Chris and Mark Rosekrans in finance had everything ready to go. We were in and out in under an hour and a half, which is practically unheard of when buying a car. Both were professional, efficient, and respectful of our time. The dealership itself is spotless, well-organized, and thoughtfully designed with plenty of amenities to make your visit comfortable. If you’re looking for a no-nonsense, genuinely pleasant car-buying experience, I can’t recommend this place enough!

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!

In and out of service in no time. Early appointment was great! Friendly personnel. Nice waiting area to wait in. Free coffee or tea while waiting!

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.

This is the second time being there and it?s an amazing place, great customer service and had a great experience. I 100% recommend it.

I own a very nice car, I like it very much, the handling is great I would recommend it to everyone good price performance good
