I've had absolutely nothing but issues out of this car! Somehow water or sweat leaked into my radio all around the edges. Come to find out it's not (Kia made), so it only had a 2 year warranty, not the 6 like I was told! Recall after recall. I've changed every light in that car at least 3 times in the almost 5 years I've had it. I have lane and brake assistance (if I'm getting to close to something. My car will automatically slam on the brakes if something is to the right of me almost causing someone to rear end me. I don't recommend this car to my worst enemy! The interior is cheap plastic, so as soon as a little bump hits the door it's ruined, and you can not get it out! I regret everyday buying this 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.

I bought a 2019 new.second time in for wheel sensors.396 a pop.of course it being 4years old out of warranty.there are 4 sensors, hopefully the other 2 don't go bad, expensive fixes
