2014 Kia Forte Overview, Reviews, Ratings & Specs

Great gas mileage and a good airbag system, also electronic feedback system for tires and engine. Has a lot of safety systems and free roadside assistance. It has a grip system that adjust the tires to the type of terrain so it won't slip in wet weather.

The pros of this vehicle is that it is eco efficient which saves on gas. It does not require a lot of money to fill up the tank. The interior is nice. It comes fully equipped. I have drove long distances all over the world in this car with minimal problems.

Great gas mileage. Decent amount of space in the trunk. Decent leg room in the back seat. Comfortable seats. Has Bluetooth radio and we love to use it. Lots of cup holders. Seats clean pretty easily. Has an eco friendly button.

Rides and drives nicely, very comfortable and has a lot of add extras. Love this car. It has great pick up in starting and stopping. Grips the road well. Drive well in hard rain or snow. Love the heated steering wheel and heated driver seat great if you have back problems. Also has air conditioning seats too.

It is a very dependable car that I trust. It drives smoothly and breaks fast. Never had any issues other than needing a new battery or tire which were a result of normal wear and tear. I would definitely consider buying another Kia.

The forte Koup model I own is very sporty - it is a head turner. It is a turbo so it is quick, not sluggish. It is also dependable. It has started every single morning since I have owned it and has had only the regular recommended maintenance - no problems, It is not 4 wheel drive but has been great in the icy and snowy NE winters. The interior is as great looking as the exterior, it is roomy and comfortable.

For the price, Kia offers more perks and add ons than other sedans in its class. I love that my Kia has these extra features and yet I still save money. Not to mention the service staff at my local Kia dealership is always so friendly and helpful when I have had to rely upon them to fix some small issue.

This vehicle is cheap and has great gas mileage. Holding three hundred and sixty miles, we typically average thirty miles per gallon and fill up once every two weeks. In addition, the vehicle for the most part has had low maintenance.

If you hit an object at high speed the front end will be damaged and it could ruin the ac unit and cooling system, mostly because the vehicle is too low to the ground, if you are in a rural area and hit a raccoon it will most likely damage the front section unnecessarily compared to other vehicles.

Some of the cons of this vehicle I would say is that with me driving a lot I often had to continuously get my oil changed. After I hit around 100,000 miles on the vehicle I noticed a lot of my lights started to come on. My check engine light frequently goes on and off daily. My airbag light comes on and off daily also when I am driving high speeds or turning sharp corners when nothing is actually wrong with it.

The cabin air filter seems like it has to be replaced more often than other cars. If you have a rear facing car seat you have to have whatever seat it is behind pushed forward more so that the car seat can safely fit. The little sliding door on the console makes an irritating vibrating sound while it is open.

My only con really in this car it seems the paint on it chips easily with Road debris. That you need to go back to dealership for your oil changes. Not always convenient if a working person. And you have an appt and it still takes a long time.

The only problem I have had is with the headlights not having a automatic setting. My previous car did so it took some time remembering to turn off my headlights. This resulted in me draining my battery a couple of times.

Maybe it is just me, but I have the hardest time with the seat belt. Reaching back for it is a struggle, buckling it is a struggle and then sometimes it does not slide back into its holder and when I get out and shut the door it gets stuck in the door.

As a brand, Kia is not given the same amount of respect as other more well established brands. I think it is viewed as being a 'cheaper' class of car. However, I have been extremely happy with my Kia and would definitely consider buying another Kia when it comes time to replace my current vehicle.

The cons of our vehicle begin with a quick breakdown of the material both on the exterior and interior. The paint is beginning to wear away on the exterior and the material along the arm rests are beginning to break down.
