It was affordable. I have had a Kia in the past and found them reliable and well made vehicles. The warranty is excellent. I also have roadside service at no charge. My vehicle handles well and has good pick up. One thing that I don't like is that for rear seat passengers, the ride is not always smooth.
Comfortable to drive, low maintenance, easy to handle, back up mirror very handy, large back window to be able to see lanes of traffic behind me, great gas mileage, can be used in economy setting to get even better gas mileage.
The vehicle is my mothers, it is reliable, easy to maintain and an overall good vehicle. Plenty of room in the trunk. My daughter's car seat is a large one and fits very well. My husband is 6 ft 4 and fits in the car nicely.
Forte gets really great gas Mileage. I get around 30 miles per gallon. Zippy little car to get around in. You get a lot for your money with the forte. Trunk space is large. That is all I have to say that is positive.
Awesome gas mileage, gets around pretty good in the snow too. It is been a reliable car so far. Love the color. Love the stereo system it has in it. The seats fold down so it is easier to put stuff in the trunk.
Great little car for the price. Great gas mileage both in town and on the highway. Drives smooth on the highway, and does not have the road noise. Plenty of room for a small compact car, including side cup holders in the front doors and a convenient fold down cup holder in the back seat. This little car is loaded!
Pros: Very good on gas. Bluetooth and hands free. Very roomy and comfortable. Has ecosystem. Cons: cannot find cruise control. No backup camera. Front layout could be better. Overall nice car and worth the money.
It is compact and reliable. It gets me exactly where I need to be when I need to be there. I have cloth interior so it does not get too hot or cold. It is also not a gas guzzler. Another pro that I like about my Kia is the fact that it looks aesthetically pleasing.
It has Good pick up, has a very comfortable ride, it has a spacious back seat with good leg room. The trunk is a good size, It gets decent gas mileage, Handles well on wet or dry roads. I also have Kia roadside assistance at no extra charge which gives peace of mind should I get a flat while I'm out.
Does not indicate which tire is low in air when light comes on, no adjustment to raise seat higher so have to use pillow, no handle over the door to get out of the driver side easier, cannot at this time think of anything else that I do not like about the car.
We use regular unleaded in the car, it is not a very large tank because the gas seems to go fast. The area we put our car seat in the backseat is behind the passenger seat and if someone who is tall sitting in that seat moves the seat back there's not too much room for the toddlers feet goes right up to the back of the seat so my daughter is always having her feet on the seat and kicking it.
Car has no power. You cannot pull out and expect to get out of anyone's way. Paint job is super cheap and chips, scratches easy. Plastic inside broke the day I got the car. Feels like a really cheap car.
Well I didn't realize I ended up with the basic model. My car does not have cruise control or little lights in the front for the passenger to turn on if they dropped something. So those are definitely things I'll be looking for in my next vehicle.
AM/FM DVD player in the dash. Cruise control. Bucket seats. ECO friendly. Heated mirrors. Fold down console in the back seat. Cup holders in the doors. Nitrous tires. Three different types of trip settings. Outside temperature display on dash. Automatic door locks and front seats.
That is comfortable and roomy, it fits my style so it makes it more of a plus for me. It is luxurious and engines last long enough. Also the Kia stores add a lot of awesome deals and sales of Kia have great mile points for certain check ups you need.
I do not have too many cons at the moment. I do not like the fact that there is no touch screen inside the car and the fact that the volume is a little low even when on full blast. I also do not like the fact that I do not have tinted windows but I think that is just a personal preference.
The 2016 Kia Forte has an average owner rating of 4.39 out of 5 which ranks it #20 of 38 other Small Cars.
