Used Kia Forte for sale near Knoxville, TN

I bought my 2018 Kia forte Lx aurora black pearl 63k miles automatic transmission fully loaded. Absolutely gorgeous car inside and out! All xx Aside I absolutely love driving this car! It does everything I ask it to do and it's truly a joy to drive! I can't say enough about the features of the infotainment system and the beautiful interior! All of the safety systems make me feel amazing! I use a car cover on it when it's not being driven and I use the steering wheel club on the wheel when the car's not being driven. I Absolutely Love My KIA!!!!

Bryson sold me an amazing car at a good price! He was very personable and I would definitely come back! Bryson made the whole experince comfortable!

It's been 6 years since I bought my Forte 5 LX. There were times I drove it 400 + miles a week on crappy Northern California freeways for field work and the only thing replaced was the battery, tires and plugs. It currently has 120,000 miles. This one has a GDI engine but no sign of engine problems. It's the basic LX version and I'm soon putting 16" wheels on it since the 15" steel wheels have that rust look. Overall, this car has been very good to me and is great for a retired person.

My daughter and u went to get a car from 6416 knoxville. Sales person David was amazing and Jason the finance Manager knows what's he is doing . Great people and we are very happy with our vehicle and the service.

Car is good for your first car stereo could be better. dont have much get up and go. i got 68,000 miles on it and its runs great.

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.

Great place to buy a car. Knowledgeable and fun stuff. Very friendly and doing their best to help you with financing, have many options for all kinds of credit situation. I would highly recommend to come see this guys!

Bought my Forte GT Certified used, never knew until now Kia stepped up their game. I really like the car, with the exception I’ve had already quite a bit of warranty work performed, the original owner didn’t take care of. So far I’m getting any maintenance done that it’s lacked, cosmetically updating the badges, and adding performance improvements here and there. It does have get up and go, once past the little bit of turbo lag. I’m averaging around 22 mpg in the city and have gotten as much as 40mpg on the highway with the cruise control on. Overall, I’m pretty impressed with it and look forward to adding more performance improvements as I can to help it out.

Hello, I found my "dream" car here. John and David are amazing, very nice, it was a pleasure working with them. No problems at all, And no hidden fees. 😁 I came a long way to get my special Van. They actually cared about me. I will also bring my sister here when she comes to visit..my van is really clean, and it runs great. Thanks again guys

The Kia Forte is a very enjoyable car to drive. The comfort of the seats could be a little better, but overall it's a nice car.

I am a long time owner of a Kia Forte 2019 bought it in 2018. I have almost had it for 5 years now. It has around 80,000 miles of trouble-free driving. I do the necessary maintenance that's it. The pros of this car it's easy on the eyes and easy to pay for. It didn't take me long to double my payments and pay this wonderful machine off. I also like the fact I don't have to go to the gas pumps much. I can go 435 miles on a simple tank of gas. I get about 43.5 miles a gallon highway and average around 34.5 City and mix driving. I love all of the safety features I have lane keep assist frontal crash anti-lock braking and traction control. I even have done some pretty good snow driving with all season radials Continental. It also has a neat feature where it will drive by itself for about a minute. I have the XLS model. So yes I have the Ivt transmission it has worked very well. I don't understand why everybody was so insecure about this Ivt drivetrain it is ran on a chain not a belt. I have nothing but great things to say about Kia engineering. I don't know why but for some reason the 2019 Kia Forte does not have many of the problems associated in the news. I also have the new anti-theft that Kia Motors placed at no charge to me. I think the days are gone when you can complain about Kia recalls. I think we've seen in the news even Honda, Toyota and Nissan have all had recalls also. I feel like Kia turned a big corner in 2013 on making great automobiles. I like them because they're easy on the budget and very reliable and good on gas. I also like the fact there is a lot of room that comes with these vehicles. I also have a Kia Sorento V6 2019 that is also been a good vehicle. Like they say Kia has the power to surprise. Forget keeping up with the Jones get a car that will save you money.

Greg Taylor sold me my KIA. And I am well pleased...He is a great salesman .....He also have called me to ask how I like my K I A,....He is so Awesome 😊😊😊😊

This vehicle has really good fuel efficiency (why I bought it), over 40 mpg on interstates or other uninterrupted highways, and in the 30s on drives including a reasonable amount of urban freeway and/or minimal-stoplight roads. The dashboard if set right tells you what mpg you're averaging on any one drive. I bought the car used at about 16,000 miles, am up to about 36,000, and have not yet had any major repair problems. The only exasperating issue consists of the controls on the dashboard, steering wheel column, vents, and sound system, and their explanation in the manual. Just as one example, the manual of 200 or so pages has nothing in the index about "Air Conditioning" or "Heating," and under "Climate Control..." only deals with a maintenance matter rather than with with how to get the A/C or heat to work (usually, although I occasionally forget this, by making sure the air that's seemingly not coming out, even though the fan is blowing, is directed at body level, not one's feet or elsewhere, so that it does come out at body level, the default after ignition usually being something other than body level). The jiffy get-started manual is insufficient on the same air conditioning/heating topic. More generally, control buttons in many case depend on sometimes undecipherable, guesswork, markings or icons. I'd be happier if the Koreans would make the car and Americans would make user-friendly controls and write user-friendly manuals.

The service department goes above and beyond to help keep your vehicle in top running condition! The sales team do not pressure you, they will work with you to get you the best deal they can!

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.

Just had my 2022 sportage serviced for the first time. As my son was in hospital 2 hours away I asked for first available appt. which was within a week.. When I arrived I informed the consultant that I needed to leave ASAP to go to the hospital. They couldnt promise ,but got me out in about an hour and were very understanding to my situation. Thanks to the young men for that.

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 was very pleased with the service I got. I was losing tire pressure every few days. They found a large nail the service dept repaired it and had me on my way in time for my appointment in Louisville.

I love this car. It looks great. All the tech and safety features are through the roof cool. So far it has been super reliable. This is my first car that is not American made and I love it.

Great customer service! Greg Taylor is wonderful at answering questions and following up to make sure all expectations are met and exceeded! Very happy with my new purchase!

Bought a used 2010 Kia Forte with about 80k miles back in 2017. This was my first car and boy was it reliable. It was pretty good on gas and it was no sports car, but it had just enough power to get up and go on the highway. It did have an unusual ticking noise coming from the engine since the day I purchased it but it still ran normal. We made it through some extreme winters and summers and it never left me stranded. I owned the car for almost 7 years and never had any major issues up until recently. I was able to make it to about 198k miles before the engine crapped out. Overall, I loved this little car and would recommend it to any first time drivers.

I’ve had my Kia for 20 months, am leasing the car. I like that it’s got a sporty look, rides smooth and has lots of great features! Hope to keep or get another one somewhere down the line.

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

Drive Time in Knoxville was excellent! This was the best experience I’ve had buying a car! No pressure, very friendly and went the extra mile to make sure I got the car I wanted. Worked with Charles and Sergio, thank you both for your patience and making it so easy!

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.

I have a very pleasant experience purchasing my 2025 honda civic hybrid. They answered all the questions I had and took care of me very well

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 recently purchased a 2024 Kia SELTOS from Parkside Kia. Our salesman's name was Hunter Baker, a very polite and engaging person. He worked with us covering trade in, showed us the selection of vehicles we were interested in, allowed us a chance to test drive the vehicle we were interested in, negotiated and agreed on a price, and took us through finance in just under three hours. Probably the best car purchase i have had yet. I have waited 4 days to write this review to give myself a clear picture of how I feel about this purchase, giving myself a chance to get over the feelings of new car euphoria and any thought of "Buyers Remorse". I am pleased to say that I still have the new car euphoria and have not felt even a twinge of "Buyers Remorse". Thank you Hunter for doing a wonderful job

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 broke down near Parkside Dealership and had my car towed there. I immediately started having severe heath problems and have been unable to work. Five months later I’m still unwell and my car is still parked on their lot. They have been so caring and understanding. No pressure at all to move my car and pay the diagnostic bill. I didn’t even purchase the Kia from them but from a competitor across town. Hopefully I will have my car moved this week but may never be healthy enough to drive again. In the meantime I will be recommending Parkside Kia Service Dept to everyone I know.

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

The salesman that we ended up working with, Zach Spicer, after being handed off by another salesman, was great. We live 2 hours from the dealer and we found a car on their lot through cars.com that we were interested in, so our first several interactions were by email. He emailed back and forth with us, answered our many questions, sent us a walk around video, explained the advantages of the certified pre-owned Kia program, informed us what was going on with the process, etc. We were looking at a 2022 Kia Niro EV that we thought should be eligible for a $4,000 used clean vehicle tax credit, but we were not certain. At first, Parkside Kia was not interested in working with us on the process of transferring the tax credit to the dealership so that we could take the credit as a discount at the time of purchase (they first told us to “check with our CPA”, then “we usually don’t transfer the tax rebate to the dealership at the time of purchase”, but when we made it clear that if they didn’t, they wouldn’t make the sale to us, they decided to work through the process. I think that they just hadn’t done it before, and were reluctant not being familiar with it. It actually took a few days for us to get a solid answer from them on whether the car was eligible for the credit and if they could/would handle the process of transferring the credit so they would get the $4,000 from the IRS, and we would get the discount. In the end, they handled it, we got the discount and drove away with a Niro EV with less than 12,000 miles on it. Hopefully, now that the person who handles the sales paperwork is familiar, they will be able to offer the service to other customers looking to be able to take immediate advantage of the used clean vehicle tax credit and set themselves apart from other dealers who won’t or don’t know how. When we went in to take a look and test drive, the steering wheel was off center and there was a small vibration at highway speed. I asked Zach if he would be able to send it back to the service department again and ensure that the problem would be taken care of before we made the purchase. He did, they found that the alignment was off, and when we came back with the $ to test drive it again and pick it up, Zach gave me a printout of the alignment paperwork showing before and after, on the second test drive, the steering wheel was centered, and the vibration was gone. I’m glad we worked with Zach. I very much appreciate his time, patience, effort to take care of us, and I’m glad he was able to make the sale.

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

This place is amazing! They have so many cars to choose from. Plus they have an exotics lane which is really cool, they have everything from a Benz to a Porsche! The whole buying process is very quick, I bought my car in two hours and drove home. In comparison to the Mercedes of Stevens Creek, which literally took me 8 hours to buy after I picked out my car. The only knock is the service department, which doesn’t do paint repair for scratches, even though they told me that the scratches on my car would be fixed, they only used touch up paint, which looks like I did it myself and not professionally done like I wanted. But it was a used car, so no big deal. Overall I highly recommend!

Excellent so far. We bought it over the summer about six months ago as a returned lease car. It is very peppy. I commute a distance for work. Hwy milage with no traffic is about 47 mph with quality gas and driving 60mph. It's our only car, it's used for everything. It's a little small up front. Interior is very nice. Exterior is superb and sporty. The most value I have ever seen. I'm coming from a 2005 unreliable Chevy cobalt. So this is like heaven. The controls are big and clear. The heater is HOT. Only 2 small issues....the front collision warning comes on a lot which they can't fix ( no biggie) and the wiper blades can't pull up to change, they don't fit the hood area amount of room. Again, surprised no engineer never caught this but no biggie. The dealer I used turned out to be untrustworthy but the car itself is a 9 out of 10.

Called them about a 2023 Bronco they had listed, and I also had a trade. I explained to the salesman how I needed the buying process to go and to my surprise he was understanding to my request, and he made sure to work fast and limit the amount of calls he made to me. Once the buyers order sheet was sent to me showing me the sales price of the bronco, the amount for my trade, and the amount I was going to be paying for the vehicle, I saw a number that I felt was a great deal and had no reason to negotiate with them. Everything was handled over the phone/computer, and I never had to go to the dealership and to make the process even better.... THEY DELIVERED THE NEW CAR AND DROVE THE TRADE IN BACK WITH THEM FOR FREE... Great People, doing business the way we wish all businesses would. I highly recommend buying from them and I will buy my next vehicles from them for sure.

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.

Brian was a wonderful sales person. Everyone was really nice. They made sure we got what we wanted. We left with a great vehicle. We could have asked for better.

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.
