Used Kia Forte for Sale in Gainesville, FL

I had missed/over looked a damaged driver door when I purchased my truck. The top of the door was protruding into the air stream and at interstate speed making a irritating noise. They took it to the body shop for inspection and told me they'd adjust it and have it back in 15 minutes. I said, "I don't believe an adjustment could work. Well, I was shocked! While not prefect like a new door, it was amazingly close. I was at dealership a total of maybe 30 min. Willy had offered me a vehicle if needed. I was very impressed with my experience.

This is a pretty good car for the price. Fuel economy is very good. It performs well. I would consider buying another Kia if it was from a different dealership.

Had to drive half a day......but the trip ws worth the time. Very nice people to deal with.

Traded in a 2012 I had similar to this car for the 2015 version because I wanted a sunroof. I also liked the color and the fact that it was sporty. Got lots of compliments driving it, was comfortable an really hate to get rid of it because I liked it a lot but trying to purchase either a classic car or a motorbike for the summer plus I really could use the cash!

While I was waiting for an oil change on my 2017 Forte, I was approached by JD and he mentioned that the 2019 Kia Sorento had some great dealer incentives if I was interested. Since I had time, I went out to look. I had a Kia Sportage before and really did like the hatchback of the Sportage, and found and test drove a Kia Sorento and was very impressed with it. When we came back in, JD worked up some figures, but I said no.... not in my budget, I will drive my Forte home. Well he went to get the GM Doug said he would call Kia to get more incentives for me as I had been a long time customer. He in-fact did just that and gave me a great trade in for my Forte. Put me into the type of vehicle I had been missing and made my husband happy to have a car that will tow his 3900 lbs pontoon boat. Was a win win for my family. Thanks to JD and Doug. I am a very happy customer.

great mpg it is a good ride for such a small car I drive 100 miles a day and average 40 miles to the gallon driving in country at 55-60 mph

I’ve driven this for a month now after purchasing it with less than 50k on the odometer. I initially wasn’t a fan, but the looks grew on me and after driving it as my own for a few days, I began to enjoy it. Gear changes on the automatic transmission are comically slow and the horn is kinda funny, but I love it for that now. Plus it has a manual shift up and shift down if you want to feel a little more in control. It gets decent gas mileage and is easy to park anywhere. I average 20 to 22 mpg on short drives but on longer drives it’s reached from 30 to nearly 40 once. The only problem I have had is the handbrake seems to have gone out, but I think it could have just been worn down by previous owners and then me probably being an idiot and leaving it on without realizing for a quick commute to school in the morning.

After over 20 vehicles, this has to be one of my top two, the other being a Volvo. I've had Toyota, Honda, Mercedes and numerous brands, and dollar for dollar, this offer great value, comfort, performance and style. I've become a dedicated Kia owner. It's even been mistaken for a Lexus!

Can't say enough about service advisor MISTY SMITH. Brought our car in for a recall on the engine even though the car had 130K miles on it. After a thouough check and re-check of the engine, it was determined that the Sorento would need a new engine. Kia did the RIGHT THING and replaced the engine components involved in the recall. Needless to say my wife and I were SUPER IMPRESSED with the level of commitment displayed by Kia in general, and Misty in particular. She kept us informed throughout the process and helped us to secure a rental car that KIA PAID FOR!! Don't know when I've experienced that level of Customer Service from a car dealership. Refreshing, to say the least. The folks at Jenkins Kia got it goin' on! Thank you again for your incredible commitment to your product and your SERVICE!!! Nell and Kevin

I love this car. Rides beautifully even at 75 on interstate. So economical. Comfortable. Great for the average family. Better than the Camry I owned.

Known as "Mr. Bow Tie", Raul Prado is a terrific car salesman who really went out of his way to explain all of the options available to me. With my current car upside down and little to no down payment, my situation makes it difficult (but not impossible!) to get into a new vehicle. With Raul's help, I was able to get the financing details needed from John to determine the bet solution for my situation.

We have not had theForte a little over a week. To this point the only issu is getting used to the layout of the controls. Being a creature of habit sometimes it takes w while to get used to something new but so far everything is great.

MISTY THE SERVICE ADVISER DID AN AMAZING JOB!!! SHE HELPED ME OUT BY GETTING THE OIL AND MY TIRES ROTATED. HELP GET THE CAR UP AN RUNNING FOR A DAYS WORK AHEAD. I WILL BE BRINGING IN MY CAR TO GET SERVICE HERE FOR AS LONG AS I GOT THE CAR. TONY THE SERVICE MANAGER ALSO DID AN AWESOME JOB. DONUTS WERE GREAT AND COFFEE WAS GOOD. EVERYONE DESERVES A RAISE.

I love my new car. My last car was a sorento and I was looking to save money and my new changed was perfect for that.

Staff was friendly and answered all my questions, quickly or found out the infomation I was interested in. Tim the salesperson explained the different models well and help my Son in law and I find on the lot the exact model and color Kia Forte with all the features I wanted. All the staff were patient and willing to explain and repeat/explaining until I completely understood each step, factually and without pressuring or rushing. It was an enjoyable experience from start to finish. Pleasantly surprised has quickly out the door sales completed, less than 2 hours from my arrival to out the door with a new vehicle.

Looks small but has lots of space inside. Very comfortable. Good performance. Lots of helpful features. Used it for grocery shopping, long distance trips. Hauling computers to LAN parties etc...

I went into Jenkins Kia with a very skeptical attitude because I already knew I had credit issues. Tim was very nice and not pushy, as a lot of salesmen are very pushy. He said that he would get me in something, and he did, along with the help of his sales manager and the finance department. I left with a brand new 2017 Kia Forte, and was a very happy woman that day. Awesome job to everyone!

I think I will have this vehicle for years. I love the way it drives and the feel of it. Thank you for the assistance

In April, my husband and I visited this dealership for preliminary window shopping for a GMC Terrain. We met with Stephen Burton who was knowledgeable and very pleasant to work with. We test drove a few vehicles but made it clear we weren't quite ready to buy yet. Stephen was very understanding and didn't push us. We came back a few months later, July maybe, and asked for Stephen again who referred us to Tyler Meek, whom we eventually ended up buying from. Tyler was so much fun to work with and I was particularly impressed with his knowledge of the bumpiest roughest roads in the area to test drive for performance. We explained to him that it would be a few months before we were ready to buy, but would come back in a few months when we were ready. He was understanding, not pushy, and he gave me his business card which I made sure to hold onto. Truth be told, we had actually visited the Jeep dealership down the street to test drive a Jeep Grand Cherokee, which I was also considering especially since the vehicle I would be turning it was a Dodge, so we figured we would get a better deal for loyalty reasons. We had also met with someone over there months ago who we very much liked, but he ended up quitting before we came back and we were greeted with a pushy, annoying, and unpleasant sales rep instead. We never went back. Last week, we decided we were ready to take home a 2016 red GMC Terrain and I sent a very detailed email to Tyler the Wednesday prior explaining my must-haves and would-likes so he could work on tracking down my perfect Terrain before we came in on the weekend. I had looked at the inventory online and noticed that they didn't have what I wanted (specifically a FWD with dark interior) but was assured that they had something that matched my requirements. I was a little disappointed to go in on Sunday and see that my "perfect Terrain" was in fact an AWD though I made it very clear that is not what I wanted. Tyler apologized and said he overlooked that detail in my email, which was fine, but still a little disappointing. I was prepared to listen to him try to push us into buying the AWD but instead, he apologized and assured us he would look at other dealerships in the area and find the right one. So we ended up having to wait a couple days which wasn't too bad, but I do wish that had been addressed earlier so I could get the vehicle sooner. Nonetheless, Tyler was able to track down my perfect Terrain and not only deliver it within the time he promised, but texted me each step of the way so I was never left in the dark. I'm extremely happy with the service I have received from both him and Stephen and will highly recommend this dealership in the future. The process wasn't only painless, it was almost fun, which normally car-buying is really stressful. Although we probably could have received a better deal at the Dodge/Jeep dealership, we came back to GMC because I very much wanted to work with Tyler and give him our business.

this car you cant beat fuel mileage it gets it gets 38 to 45 mpg on a long trip we bought it one day and lift for virginia the next and we both love it

Wow. I bought this vehicle as a replacement to my commuter car that was end of life. It is way more than I expected. Out of the door, it was about 15k with service package. On a good day, this car gets over 40 miles to the gallon! I drive about a hundred miles a day and this car is super comfy. I am 6'1" tall and I fit perfectly fine in this car. There is so much leg room in this car its unreal. The car handles great, gets great gas mileage and is super comfy. I would totally recommend the Kia Forte for anyone who has a long commute.

Sales person Kenya Ellis-Walker helped us filter through the choices we had researched. She is knowledgeable, relaxed, patient and listened to us so that she understood what each of us in this couple wanted. She is great. Plus the whole Car Max experience is pleasant because you can flip among comparable cars of different makes and compare then and there. And you are not pressured at all because the sales people are salaried--the entire experience reduces stress and gives you more choice. Good for people who prefer space to think and options to compare.

I fall in love with this car every time I drive it! It rides smooth and quiet. It had 80,000 miles when I bought it. It's the best handling car in rain I've ever owner! It goes well in snow. It has plenty of pep! It does not use or leak any oil at 3,000 mile changes. The engine cooling system is great! It gets a combined approximate 30 mpg. It has never failed on me since I bought it in April 2017! It has great brakes! I can't say enough good things about it! I LOVE the car!!!!!!!

I didn't know that purchasing a car could be so easy. No games. No tricks. No surprises. Bill Carter and all the people that I contacted at Tomlinson were knowledgeable, professional and friendly. I drove 150 miles based on a friend's advice and 90 minutes after I had arrived, I was on my way home with the car I was looking for. The web site describing the car was accurate. When I arrived, everything was spelled out in detail. Questions were answered. Price was great. This is the way to sell/purchase a car. I'll never look anywhere else.

Bought this car a day ago and behind the wheel is peeling not to happy about this at all but love the outer look and the seats and drives great

This car is an awesome car with great features. I enjoy all the diffrent things it does it good on gas and has great power for speed. Very comfortable.

Purchased new and am now going on 104,000 miles. Super reliable, peppy, and affordable. Other than replacing brakes and new tires, the only maintenance needed has been oil changes and suggested manufacturing maintenance. Trunk cargo is HUGE. Great in snow with snow tires. Unfortunately, the engine just started making "ticking " noise. Guess it's time for another KIA!

Bill Bowers sold my fiancé and I a 14' Jeep, and we love it! Bill was awesome and patient with us. We are happy drivers! Thank you so much, Bill!

I have now had this car for a month, and I really like it so far. I'm getting great mileage compared to my previous car (old car 18mpg all around, new car 26-29 city - 35-39hwy) and it really helps when having to fill up. I have gone through just a full tank in 3 weeks - getting 340 miles per tank or so depending on if I drive it like a jerk which I rarely do. Only negative is that the salesman told me that the car had Kia's EVO system in it, and it does not. Just the standard touch screen which isn't a huge deal to me. Overall impressed, and happy with this car.
