I have owned a Kia Forte for 7 years now.

September 25, 2025
By Pamela from Minneapolis MN
Owns this car

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.

My 2017 Kia Forte was great the first year I owned it,

September 16, 2025
By Denise Seegert from Germantown WI
Owns this car

My 2017 Kia Forte was great the first year I owned it, then I was driving on the highway and it stopped. I was able to pull over on the side of the highway and it started right up. Continued to drive on the highway or just down the streets and it cuts out all the time, it starts right back up. I take it to a Kia dealer and I need a new engine ($8000j I took to someone else and they could not figure out why it keeps stopping. They recommend to not get it fixed or drive any longer might get in a huge accident. Only had for 1 year it has about 98,000 miles what a xxxxty car, will never buy a Kia or recommend.
