Maintenance high due to my vin not included in recalls
A year ago my rating would've been 5 star.This year I had lots of issues and my vin said my car is not covered in recalls yet most of my issues. My air conditioner condenser went out plus I have an ugly scar on my arm from glass when in a wreck no glass was broke.Just air bag came out.Yet Honda claims my airbag wasn't in recall! Love the car itself and safety warnings for tire pressure etc.that makes me feel safe when driving with my toddler.Besides $3000 spent under hood maintenance this year that hit me hard I do love my car
accountCircle Jessica V
The best sedan there is out there.
I really love my car and all of the features it has but sometimes the touch screen gets glitchy. It will beep excessively. Otherwise it is a great car and is a very smooth ride. I really like the apple play option so I can listen to my music and use navigation.
accountCircle Mariya B
This car is very reliable.
My car is very reliable, gas does not burn fast, it runs amazing, regular oil changes, the only issue I have are with my tires, it seems like with my tires they typically get low fast or if I hit a bump my tire light will come on. The car is very comfortable, lots of room. Seats are difficult to keep clean there are stains that can come from clothes or other things and it is hard for it to come up. The car is a smooth soft ride.
accountCircle Brittany N
Reliable, no issues and great gas mileage!
I love my Honda civic. It is a 2016, sedan. It gets great gas mileage and is super reliable. It is spacious and fits me and 3-4 other people comfortably. I also love the trunk space. It allows for amble room to transport whatever I need. It has Bluetooth connectivity, so I never listen to the radio and can access my phone easily. I keep up with its maintenance monthly, so it should last me for years to come.
accountCircle Kimberly S
Civics are great, reliable vehicle for all ages.
I have experience no issues with my car in the 4 years I have had it, other than recalls due to my model being new, but even then I have only had maybe 3-4 recalls that were not urgent. The only “issue” I have come across is that I replaced the factory tires last summer and now my car is slightly louder on the road, but that could be due to the new tires and not wear on the car.
accountCircle Thomas W
Highly recommended this car!
Extremely reliable. I have owned the vehicle for two years have had no issues. The car rides smooth, is great on gas, and is fun to drive. The cabin is roomy, I am 6'3'. Trunk is large and accommodates groceries, golf clubs, and tool bag. Highly recommend this vehicle for anyone who is looking for a reliable car with a low cost of ownership.
accountCircle Brian R
Very powerful and comfortable car.
Very nice driving car. Great gas mileage, and comfort. Only problem is steering gets sticky driving on Hwy. I love the 163 hp engine with sport mode. Of all the civics I have owned this is the most roomy of all. I am 6ft 3in and I can finally stretch out. My other civic I cannot I am very crammed in their.
accountCircle Denise H
Camera on the right rear view mirror.
Love the performance of the vehicle. Haven't had any problems with it whatsoever, as long as you keep up with the services. Drives smooth, nice, & saves so much gas. Also love when turning right, there’s a camera on the side to see if it is clear to be able to turn. My car is also a sports car, so I personally love driving fast on it.

The 2016 Kia forte is a safe, dependable and comfortable car.
I love my 2016 Kia forte. I bought it new from a local authorized Kia dealership. It runs really quietly. You can hardly tell when it is on. The seat comfort was really important to me because I have a bad back. The seat is curved like a person's back as it should be and is very comfortable. The air conditioning is very cold and the heat works great. The acceleration is not snappy but is adequate for a person that does not speed. The breaking is excellent and instant. I was driving once and a car to my left was going to turn right into me just looking at their phone! No one was behind me so I braked hard and the car stopped instantly. They safely pulled in front of me and no one was hurt. The only issue I have had is that the cars battery will die if not driven for about 2 weeks. I had to replace the battery. I just make sure to drive once a week to keep it charged now. Overall best car I have ever had!
accountCircle maria M
The radio is nice but seats are ugly.
No problems just ugly and I like SUVs more. The color I have is red and I think it looks like a target shopping cart. But never had any mechanical issues and drives well. Mileage could be better. It seems like I run out of gas quicker than it seems which is weird.
accountCircle Amy L
The highlights of my 2016 Kia forte.
My car has no problems as of date. The performance is great. The gas mileage is good. It is very reliable in all types of weather. The seats are very comfortable. I love the fact that I can control the radio from my steering wheel. My husband says the air in my car is way better than the Dakota or Cruz.
accountCircle Jasmine L
Compact car that is not compact on the inside.
It has a lot of features and is affordable, but the ride is not as smooth as you'd like. For a compact car it has a decent amount of space. Amazing on gas mileage. Repair costs are cheap and parts are extremely easy to find. Interior and exterior are cute too.
accountCircle Marsha L
Kia forte rates high in my opinion!
My 2016 Kia forte lx has been the most dependable vehicles I have owned. It has required few repairs and has been very reliable. In addition, it gets excellent gas mileage. It is a comfortable, good riding car. I recommend anyone in the market for a safe, reliable vehicle to consider a Kia forte.
accountCircle Monica P
Sporty and comfort for everyday ride.
I do not mind this car because it is nice to drive and very friendly but I my husband chose it and it is actually not my tease, I would have chose a SUV to have a complete vision from above. It is comfort anyway and space full. Big but in the back. I can suggest it obviously but not my first choice.
accountCircle Emily K
Love it. Easy to drive. Would recommend it to anyone.
My car is currently having problems with the push button start. The dealership is working on this. But other than that. Love it! Peppy and has good pick up and handling. The wider tires on the rims make all the difference. The seats are comfortable love that they are heated. I do wish it had the heated steering wheel instead of picking the steering: sport, normal, and comfort.
accountCircle Ariel J
It drives super well and keeps my family safe.
The paint is just fading really fast. I also feel like the carpet is made cheaper. However my husband was rear ended and he was not hurt at all. It kept him perfectly safe. Other than the pain and carpet it drives super good and smooth. I have not had any issues (knock on wood) with the motor or anything.

My experience with this car.
Tires are a problem at times. But that is for every car. I guess I just have bad luck so I am always getting my car fixed. I’d say there is plenty of trunk space and back seat space. A family of five can fit in the car. I always get a service sign even if I fix the problem.
accountCircle Antonio G
My vehicle is a reliable machine and I am proud to be a owner of one.
There are no identified problems at the moment. The performance of the vehicle for a 2016 model is still great. The reliability of the vehicle is still high for me since I have been driving it for a while. The inside is quite comfortable, the seats are soft. A feature a like about it is how much space there is inside for me since I am a bit short.

2016 Honda civic review, general.
I haven't had many problems with my vehicle and it has been generally reliable. Features are good, but can be finicky at times as far as syncing information from my phone. Comfort level is okay, however I am very tall, so it would be better suited for a shorter person.
accountCircle Jennifer D
Great car/bad air conditioning.
My vehicle is very comfortable, has a great built in navigation system and camera for backing up/parking. It comes with great gas mileage, even lets you know how good your gas mileage us to the second with a lightning system in the dashboard. This car can turn on a dime and has the best braking system I'VE ever had. My biggest complaint is that the civic is known to have a faulty air compressor and the air conditioner breaks quite easily. I have had this problem and the manufacturer does not take care of you at all.
accountCircle Jeff W
Super reliable and great starter car!
The car runs like a dream. It is very reliable and has been put through quite a little bit. I used it to learn how to drive which is really helped by the cameras that show that blind spots and harder to see places. The only problem I would say is it is air conditioning is not too amazing and broke at a very unfortunate summer time in AZ.
accountCircle jeni J
I love the slick/sleek look of my car.
I love car. The seats are very comfy and spacious. The trunk also has lots of room! It gets great gas mileage and is very reliable. As a someone who has always had car trouble in the past, reliability is my number one concern. I feel very safe in my car. It is a very smooth ride and is easy to park which is great for living in the city! I love the feature of the screen in the front so I can see what music is playing. The center console could be a little bigger, but it is actually better for me that it is smaller so I do not stuff a lot of junk in it! The child locks are a plus since I have small nieces and nephews in and out of it.

Compact yet comfy! Spacious trunk space!
I haven't had any reliability or performance issues. The only thing that it does not have that I wish it did is cruise control. I love how fuel efficient the car is, and I have reached up to 42 mpg. The car is comfortable and spacious. The trunk can hold so much more than I thought!

Pretty color of Kia forte.
The only problem I keep coming across with my forte is low tire pressure and my mechanic says that I have a faulty tire sensor. Overall I am happy with the car, it runs well and it is great on gas. I love the style of the car and the blue gray color that I chose.

Review of a 2016 Kia forte ex.
Electrical issues, good gas mileage, overall reliable, cloth seats with manual controls lose comfort over time, stereo has XM and good sound, good trunk space, no spare tire, gas tank cover gets stuck, no key access to trunk, normal amount of leg space/space inside the car.
accountCircle Brett L
The handling along with the size of the vehicle makes for a perfect car.
My vehicle is a very reliable machine, I have had it for roughly 4 years and haven't had major issues with it so far. My favorite part about my vehicle is the stirring, it feels smoother than other base cars I looked at. The car also handles well on the road, I feel safe while driving it in any occasion. The size is also very fitting for myself, either too small or too big, just perfect in my opinion.
accountCircle Henry D
This is a great car. Would recommend to everyone to get a Kia.
For features id say its pretty nice. As far as comfort it is comfortable and spacious. Its problems are probably the battery. It died before 50000 miles while I was at the laundromat. Performance is really great, it's never broken down other than that. I take really good care of it and always change the oil on time and get car washes often, I think that helps keep the car great.
accountCircle Jason W
2016 Kia forte are very dependable and do not really require too much maintenance.
My 2016 Kia forte is pretty gas friendly and reliable. As long as you keep up with the maintenance you really do not have too many issues. It fit kind of small for a sedan but it get the job down with fitting 2 car seats and a booster seat. It is very good on long distance rides as it get me from point A to point B safe and sound. It is not all that fast if your seeking a thrill it is just an ordinary family sedan.

Pros & Cons from Owners

2016 Honda Civic

likeFilled Brenda C.

It is has a lot of room for a small family, it is very reliable it is a great car for gas. It has a better braking system and also it has a more powerful base engine. The 2016 Honda Civic handles great in all driving situations. When tackling a curvy road, the car's body remains stable and controlled. This should be good news for the drivers who appreciate a nimble automobile.

dislikeFilled Brenda C.

The only con is that car needs to be a little faster. When combined with the standard six-speed manual transmission, the base Civic earns a respectable 27 mpg city and 40 mpg highway. If you opt for the sport-tuned continuously variable transmission (CVT), those numbers become class-leading at 31 mpg city and 41 mpg highway.

likeFilled Angel E.

Good gas mileage lots of space blindside camera eco mode affordable reliable. All pros no cons love this vehicle sport mode is fun Bluetooth radio apple carplay basically a tablet as radio screen great buy.

dislikeFilled Angel E.

Last long look nice drives smooth as well. Affordable sunroof radio is go quality. Great warranty apple carplay blind slide camera for you got one on your way out with the new version and it while you are on your phone.

likeFilled Rainier A.

Great Fuel economy, really nice design, reliable manufacturer, it has a kind of a blind spot, excellent sound system, comfortable, low response of the thrust, extremely good design, plenty of charging ports.

dislikeFilled Rainier A.

Exist a Blind spot in the mirrors, low acceleration, very low response to thrust, bad seating for driving, extremely bad voice control, forward collision is touchy, cruise control adaptativa is sluggish,

likeFilled Zainab K.

I like the way it drives. I like the size as well. It is very maneuverable which is great for driving in New York as the space is always tight. Also it was very affordable and the insurance was not very high on it either.

dislikeFilled Zainab K.

It is not the most luxurious car. Mine is not fully loaded so it has a lot features that are missing which I would have loved in my car. Also the shape of it not something that stands in a crowd. I wish it was a bit more unique looking.

Pros & Cons from Owners

2016 Kia Forte

likeFilled Cathryn A.

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.

dislikeFilled Cathryn A.

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.

likeFilled Susie H.

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.

dislikeFilled Susie H.

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.

likeFilled Jenn M.

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.

dislikeFilled Jenn M.

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.

likeFilled Lisa F.

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.

dislikeFilled Lisa F.

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.
