Used Kia Forte for sale near Saint Pete Beach, FL under $249,968

I had such an amazing experience at Lexus of Tampa Bay! My saleswoman, Alexus, was absolutely wonderful, she was so quick to find the exact car I wanted and incredibly knowledgeable throughout the entire process. I never felt pressured at any point, and everyone I interacted with made me feel confident and reassured that I was making the right decision. Even after driving my new car home, the follow-up has been exceptional. I’ve received thoughtful texts and calls just checking in to make sure I’m happy with my purchase and to remind me that if I ever have any issues, they’ll take care of it right away. I’m already so happy with my decision and truly enjoying my car! I highly recommend Lexus of Tampa Bay and Alexis to anyone looking for a stress-free and positive car-buying experience.

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!

I have owned a Kia Forte for 7 years now. My husband and I love it! We do regular oil changes and maintenance, and keep the car in the garage. At almost 60,000 miles it needed new tires and brakes, but that's not a big surprise. We LOVE the performance of this car -- the turbo function makes it fun to drive and great for passing. It's compact enough that we can park anywhere. And the hatchback is surprisingly large! We ended up selling our Toyota Camry and keeping our Kia because the Kia is a workhorse that hauled furniture and boxes for my husband's business. Way more room than the Camry when we needed to haul things or take our electric bikes on an adventure.
