Used Kia Forte for sale in El Monte, CA

I bought a 2004 Pilot a month ago here. My salesman, Tim, knew exactly which loan to submit me for because I had no job and bad credit but a big down payment. He had me financed with no problem in minutes. A few days before I went to Carmax Burbank for a different car but with the same down payment and the saleswoman there did not do the same thing. The car was purchased in 2 hours and I was driving home. I bought the warranty tey offer which is a great bumper to bumper extended through their company. They have a 5 day return policy. I opted to return my car on day 4 to pay for the warranty in cash so as not to finance it at the very high interest rate I bought the car at. The return was also easy and everything was done in less than an hour. A month later now, I have found a few things wrong with this 2004 that seemed to have slipped past their extensive reconditioning program. I took it in with odd complaints a dealer would normally say they couldn't duplicate. They addressed them all and even gave me a loaner SUV for my babies to fit in while I waited the few days for the parts to arrive. GREAT STORE! Great customer service! And there's a play room for the kids! *Avoid the coffee!! It is terrible!!!

2011 Kia Forte saved my life when I was hit by someone who sped up to go thru a yellow light. All of the side air bags deployed including the ones installed in the sides of the front seats.

Wow! KIA of Alhambra is so great! Brought my KIA Soul in because my husband hit a trash can and broke passenger side mirror. Part was in stock and fixed faster than estimated! Everyone was so helpful! The car was so clean when we picked it up! Our family loves and trusts KIA of Alhambra!!!

40k miles and the engine light came on. Took the car in to kia. They said my automatic car needs a new transmission. Apparently this is a problem for the 2020 model.

It was a normal buying process. It took about three hours. Cylus was a good salesperson. I knew exactly what car I wanted so that process was easy.

The only complaint I would have about this car is the ride. Kind of stiff no matter what mode it’s in. Other than that, I love it.

I purchased a used Toyota Tundra from Shift and the process was very painless and easy. I was reasonable with my expectations on a used truck and Shift didn't disappoint. The car runs and drives perfect and I couldn't be happier. I think some of the negative reviews here are a bit unreasonable. I think some consumers are expecting a NEW car at a used prices which is totally unreasonable. If you want a perfect car then go out and spend the money on a brand new one. If you can stomach a few flaws while simultaneously saving tens of thousands of dollars by buying used, then get a car from Shift. You won't be disappointed!

I purchased this car like new with just over 1000 miles on the odometer. I owned it long enough to put over 200000 miles on it and overall it was a great vehicle. At about a 170000 miles, it started showing its age and I ran into a few minor problems as I approached the 200000 mile mark. I believe that with a little TLC, these cars can last up to 300,000 miles. It is a Kia, so the fit and finish is not 100%, and also they do not like to be neglected on maintenance. Other than that it was a great vehicle and if you need a little car and you're on a budget then look no further.

Excelent service. People are very helpful, friendly and caring. Very professional staff, managers and sale reps. So far the experience of having a new Kia vehicle has been an excellent and exciting one including the delivering of the vehicle, with the ringing of the bell and all.

Freaking sweet ride! Dude! Kia has succeeded in yanking the domestic market from our U.S. produced or rather , assembled vehicles! Love the Kia forte GT 6 speed! Awesome!

I would like to share my wonderful experience at Kia in Glendale , staff is super nice , easy to work with , fast and reliable. But MOST I would like to recognize service Tech Martin in the service department for such as phenomenal job he performs and his great customer service he has towards the client. They need to have more people like Martin make it auch a great experience . Best mechanic / Tech server ever

Got this car used as a certified pre owned and have had no issues except it needed a jump start one day. Most likely due to it having a refurbished battery inside. Inside interior is decent but not amazing it's just all plastic. Seats are comfortable but you get what you pay for. Back up camera is good quality and display screen is as well, pretty nice size. The heat and ac is Allright I've had better in other cars. The exterior is probably the best this car has overall. It's pretty nice if car is detailed and cleaned up. Comes with alloy wheels with 4 disk brakes which is a very nice addition. The transmissions is very nice as well as you won't feel the jerk when it shifts gears. Car is also pretty zippy and most cars don't speed up as fast as this one does. Overall it's a pretty good car for its price. I'd recommend it over every other car manufacturer besides Honda.

I couldn't be happier to not find the car I was looking for but the service from the staff at this dealership. They were friendly, courteous, knowledgeable and professional. The buying process went so smooth.

Great price and well made. Fun to drive and very well loaded. Very comfortable Seats and dash has great features. Trunk area is huge. Very eager to take it on a trip

Got a wonderful used Fiat from Chris. The experience was good and got in and out in under 3 hours. From stepping on the lot to driving away. Was the most stress free car buying experience I have ever had.

I love the look and feel of my 2019 Forte, I real enjoy the seating and the leg room. I have a small Family, and actually rode in the back seat of my car last week. my wife was driving and we picked up my mom to take her shopping and let her up front. it was a great fit @ 5'11" I had a lot of room in the back and I was comfortable. The trunk space is huge for this size car and it's great for when I need to pick up pool chemicals and grocery shopping. more importantly I love the color.

I went in there knowing what I wanted. I told the salesperson, “This is it- let’s run some number”. After that was said, boom, we were off and running. The process was smooth, easy, fast. I recommend STG AUTO GROUP to anyone. Daniel helped me out! Look for that guy, he’s a solid dude.

Just picked up a 2022 KIA Forte GT Line for my wife. Car has outstanding pick up for a 147hp engine. I don't find any difference in performance in changing the various driving modes available though. The fuel economy isn't bad either. We're seeing an average of 34mpg and that is mostly highway driving. Rear leg room in the back seats is perfectly adequate for adults. We have a child's booster seat in the rear passenger side and I have plenty of leg room up front at my 5'11 height. Trunk is very spacious. I can fit two large and one smal suitcase inside it. Interior is pretty high end for a $26k car. Leather seats are well made. Layout of the dash is nice. My only complaint is something lacking on all cars made now. I miss my in-dash CD player. Sorry, I like my tunes and CD case. Overall I would recommend this car to anyone seeking something fun to drive that is both sporty and also economical at the same time. We've only had the car a couple of weeks and have gotten a number of passing positive compliments from strangers.

Great new car buying experience - staff was very polite. The staff was also very pleasant to work with. In the end they were very understanding of my needs.

This vehicle exceeded our expectations. The ride, the comfort, the safety features, and passenger / driver room. We went with the GT- line Forte and have absolutely fallen in love with it.

I didn’t think I’d like a sm car after driving an SUV for the last 15 years. But I Love my Forte 😍. And the color Platium Brown

Just got a car from Carworld and I had no problems with approval because they offer in-house financing. Smooth transaction and I was so happy.

This car has been very reliable. Zero problems with only regular maintenance. I drive about 15,000 miles a year. I still get a lot of compliments even though it is an older model.

Met all our needs for our granddaughter.it’s was a graduation gift .worth every penny ...should last through her college years and then some..will get another some day

When I called I was immediately given an appointment. Got there early. Was accommodated. Luis and Jose was of great help to my husband and I. The vehicle we went to see and purchased is great. We recommend them for your need to purchase a vehicle. No pressure. No non-sense

The Kia Forte GT is a fun car to drive with the turbo making this car a little hot rod for less than 300/m lease. Also the car looks great with the 18 inch wheels and all the safety features it comes standard on this model.

Ali Reza and Jazmin were the ones to help me get into my new car. I Have to say they made everything very simple. They knew exactly what I needed and had thje right car for me.

Cesar is the best patient kind and informative I love my car I am so happy w my purchase I can’t thank him enough great

Had my 2022 Kia Forte for about a year now and think it is one of my best car purchases. The price, around $20K, makes it one of the least expensive new cars. The five year/100,000 mile warranty is outstanding. I had concerns about the CVT transmission, but all is good. The transmission is a little lazy compared to the best out there, but it helps me get 35 mpg in the city and 40+ on the highway. With cruise on flat ground at 65 I can hit almost 50 mpg. For only 147-hp it accelerates well. It is nimble, although with the beam rear axle it won't motocross with the Hondas. The cabin is roomy, especially in the front. The trunk is very large for a compact. Interior appointments look good, but I always prefer more soft touch materials, but I can't complain at this price point. Surprisingly, the car is as quiet as my previous midsize car. You can make long trips without being fatigued. So far the car has been nothing but reliable. I genuinely like the styling, it has a Euro BMW vibe.

I just bought my first car yesterday at the Kia Van Nuys. Our dealer was Abraham and he helped us a lot. We recommend him for everyone who is looking for a car! He is a professional

Bought a certified 2015 BMW 535. Ultra clean and low miles. Smooth transaction. Fair value for my trade in. Overall very pleased with staff and process.

For buying a used car a manual 6speed at that, I would recommend this car if it has been taken care of like mine. Most definitely.

Very good service and fast transactions, They will make sure you get what you want with a good deal. Employees are all accommodating. The ambiance was good too.

My Forte is an excellent vehicle performing at its peak. I enjoy driving long distances or short distances. I always arrive safe and sound and never worry about the performance of my Forte. The Forte has a very smooth ride. There is no difficulty watching for other cars in front or behind me. A great car.

This dealership offers the nicest cars in the most pristine shape. Despite the other reviews, I had a good experience. Yes they try to upsell you on extras, but it's up to you what you negotiate, and I was offered a great deal. Elder offered excellent customer service. Give it a try.

Bought the 2020 in April 2020,the manual transmission because of the value.Even at the low end the car has features no other company offered,Not a single issue in two years.Put on 17 tires and rims,oiled underneath yearly, can't beat that six speed manual transmission.Value wise no car beats it.
