I’ve had my Kia now for 3yrs and only had little major
I’ve had my Kia now for 3yrs and only had little major thing go wrong which the dealership handled the issue as a decent time I guess. The first few months of having my Kia during the winter here the car would t push botton to start and boy was I pissed off. I kept having to jump start it then it dawned on me on me that they gave me a dead battery! Which was taking care of with warranty thank God! Other then that issue my model Kia forte got-line wasn’t equipped with a decent sound system I guess the package I thought it would’ve had But! Not! and to replace a aftermarket radio will cost a pretty penny to get done. My tires 17” OEM they feel on the wobbly side while driving 50-70mph on the Hyway! while hearing the sounds from outside in the inside of the car which sucks. But it’s power it gets up to speed especially in Sport Mode! The exterior looks good and interior is good also but I’m a pit in some work on it soon. I wish I would’ve known about the Kia Gt though (manual) speed before test driving my Kia gt line lol. My overall about this Kia it’s worth the price as well the experience to drive and to owne one!

recently purchased a vehicle from Old Orchard Nissan, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the entire experience. From the moment I walked in, the staff was welcoming, professional, and genuinely helpful — no pressure, just honest service. My salesperson, Jason Chu, was knowledgeable, patient, and took the time to answer all my questions. They helped me find the perfect car for my needs and made the process feel smooth and stress-free. The finance team also did a great job explaining everything clearly and worked to get me a great deal. The vehicle was clean, in excellent condition, and exactly as described. I truly appreciate the transparency, integrity, and care that went into every step of the process. Highly recommend Old Orchard Nissan to anyone looking for a reliable vehicle and top-notch customer service. I’ll definitely be back when it’s time for my next car!

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.

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!

JC and Marino dealership provided an exceptional experience. JC walked us thru all the benefits, applications and dashboard to be sure we knew all the wonderful features of our new Jeep Grand Cherokee. In addition to knowledge sales people, the process of buying a new car was seamless. Everything from getting the registration card, license plates and applying for the title happened in JCs office! Everyone was super friendly and excited about our new car. It felt like we were treated like family… that’s how much care and attention we were given. 10 score all around!!! Thank you JC and Marino team.

I bought my Forte LXS in Feb of 2024 and i've driven 9,000 miles on it so far. it's been great and i prefer this over a Corolla or a Camry. on the highway i sometimes get fuel economy in the low 50's mpg and on average i get around 37 mpg combined. not bad at all. i bought this for $21K after taxes and registration. the value can't be beat imo.

2024 KIa Forte is pretty great!
It's too soon to tell how reliable this car will be in the future. However, at just one-month-old, it fits all my wants and desires. I love the interior, its comfort, and the extras that are in this car. The controls on the steering wheel make it safer while driving. The navigation system replaces all maps that I have on my phone and it helps to have the speed limit posted on the navigation read-out. This is my fourth Kia and I have never been disappointed.

KIA Fun-te!
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.

An overall great service experience when ever my out of warranty Lexus needs service. Comfortable and clean lounge areas with plush chairs for waiting and plenty of connections for laptops or phones if you need to do some work while waiting. I always work with Darryl who does an exceptional job for me. He’s very professional as well as being personable. Ask him anything about the work that needs to be done and he always has the correct answer. Darryl is one of the reasons I keep coming back to Elgin Toyota

Good Car at Great Price
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.

Excellent Car with Comfort, Style, and Outstanding
Excellent Car with Comfort, Style, and Outstanding Service I recently purchased a 2016 Honda Accord EX-L, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision. Not only is the car fantastic, but the buying experience was smooth and enjoyable, thanks to Elman, the salesperson who assisted me. The car itself is a perfect blend of performance, comfort, and style. The 2.4L engine delivers smooth acceleration with excellent fuel efficiency, making it ideal for both city commutes and highway trips. The CVT transmission ensures a seamless and comfortable driving experience. Inside the cabin, the premium feel stands out. The leather seats are not only luxurious but also extremely comfortable, especially with the heated feature. The dual-zone climate control is a thoughtful addition that allows for personalized comfort. The technology package is impressive for a 2016 model. I love the touchscreen infotainment system, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto for seamless connectivity. The advanced safety features, like lane-keeping assist and adaptive cruise control, provide added peace of mind on every drive. As for the exterior, the sleek, timeless design of the Accord EX-L is a head-turner. The LED daytime running lights and stylish alloy wheels enhance its sporty yet sophisticated appearance. I also want to give a big shoutout to Elman, who made the buying process truly enjoyable. He was professional, knowledgeable, and patient throughout. He took the time to answer all my questions, explain the features, and ensure I was confident in my purchase. It’s rare to find such excellent customer service, and Elman went above and beyond to make sure I had a great experience. Overall, I’m thrilled with my 2016 Honda Accord EX-L and highly recommend both the car and working with Elman if you’re in the market for a vehicle.
