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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
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.

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.

Great vehicle would definitely recommend to others.
My car is a great car it is very good on gas. I can fill my tank up with 19$ usually and it lasts about a week and a half. It is very spacious even though it looks small on the outside. It is a very reliable car with great features such as a backup camera, Bluetooth, a sunroof and a touchscreen radio.
Amelia C
on May 26, 2021
Good car for anyone needing a car.
My car has been absolutely amazing. I have no problems with it. I have always owned Kias and they are very dependable cars. Ten out of ten would recommend to absolutely anyone. My next car will also be a Kia. It is comfortable. Spacious but not too big. The perfect size car in my humble opinion.
Aaron R
on May 6, 2021
Overall a good safe and reliable vehicle.
Have not at any problems with the vehicle. Definitely a reliable car. Comfort is good, just a little bit small on the inside. Drives very smoothly. Has excellent safety features. Very fuel efficient. It is not a big performance vehicle, so not a speedy car.

Gas mileage is incredible.
My Kia forte is a very comfortable car, smooth ride, and extremely reliable. This car can definitely take a beating. I have been in a few fender benders and you can barely tell at all. Interior is great! Easy to clean and maintain. Beautiful color on the outside! My only complaint is no cruise control, definitely something I didn't think would be a problem.
Destiny S
on May 3, 2021
Kia forte. Great on gas mileage and traveling.
The Kia forte has been wonderful. Haven’t had any issues with anything on it yet besides needing new brakes. Gas mileage has been amazing as well. Very roomy and can handle a lot of travel even went and did a little bit of off roading in it on a dirt road.
Robert G

Learn a manual! Buy a Kia forte!
I love my 2016 Kia forte! I personally recommend it to anyone that wants to learn to operate a manual transmission. And I am a big guy (6'2 315) but my car is spacious enough for me to be comfortable even on road trips! It comes with the usual bells and whistles (Bluetooth, satellite radio, etc.) The only legitimate complaint I have is that it does not have enough cup holders.
Taryn S
on May 1, 2021
2016 Kia forte sx is a wonderful reliable car.
I honestly haven't had any issues. I purchased this car used in 2019 and so far the only maintenance it is needed is it is standard oil changes and regularly scheduled maintenance. I replaced the brake pads about a year after purchase but other than that, have had no issues at all.
Amelia W
on April 29, 2021
Great mileage, super safe and great look.
Reliance. Great warranty. No problems, as of yet. Sporty. Great look. Wonderful mileage. Safe for the entire family. This is the first Kia I have bought and I will definitely continue driving and buying Kias. I always get compliments on how good looking the car is.

The 2016 Kia forte is a lx model powered by a 1.8-liter mpi I-4 making 145 hp.
The vehicle has a 400 mile fuel storage with a built in radio that has built in Bluetooth technology. The car averages at around 21 miles per gallon, and has a 5 year warranty. Startup speed can go from 0 to 40 in 5 seconds, and has a powered by a 1.8-liter mpi I-4 making 145 hp at 6,500 rpm.
Nikki S

My vehicle is an awesome little car. It is great on gas.
I have no problems with my vehicle. It has plenty of room for two car seats. The vehicle has plenty of legroom. It is great on gas. It is a manual so it is decent in snow as well. It is reliable. The air conditioner works really well. It will get you where you need to go.
Julie S

Would recommend vehicle for small family or someone’s first car.
The Kia forte has been a very reliable vehicle for me. The car gets great gas mileage and I enjoy the features. Some downsides to the vehicle is the size of the backseat. If you have small children in car seats, it is difficult to get them to fit in comfortably. The large trunk space is a plus for me. I have a small child and take the stroller everywhere. I am easily able to fit the stroller and some groceries in the back. I also like that you can fold down one or two of the seats. I will have my daughter in her car seat and fold down the other seats to fit more groceries in when her stroller is in tow. I do recommend getting the lx version of the vehicle so you can get the most features for your money. I do wish the vehicle had a little more power when taking off. Sometimes it is hard to merge on to busy highways when there is not a whole lot of juice coming from under the hood. I also like the different color features that are available with this car model. Overall this is a very reliable and dependable vehicle. I would recommend this as a good starting our car for a small family or even just someone’s first car. I really do enjoy driving mine.
Michelle B
on April 17, 2021
Takes a beating and still keeps on going.
Oh this car just took my across the us with me driving 8-10 straight with no issues or performance failures. All I had to do was put gas in the tank. I even drove through the AZ desert with temperatures in 110 and the car didn't get overheated not once the whole time.
Brianna W
on April 16, 2021
It is a very common car for the most part m. Very affordable.
I have an older car so things are not as smooth as I would like for it to be. I am currently looking for a newer car. I like the newer amenities. The Kia I have now has a backup camera, drives good, but it is hard to keep clean. It's a comfy car for the most part. Really good on gas.

2016 Kia forte real review.
I actually do not really have any issue with my 2016 Kia forte so far, and I have had the vehicle since march 2016. My only problem is the outside plastic part of the gear shift has already cracked and broken off, due to excessive sun exposure I guess. The tires wore off pretty fast too but I am sure that was because of how far I drove back in forth to previous job locations. The cars overall state is pretty decent though. I would personally rate it a 7/10.
Shanquinthia M
on April 7, 2021
The love for a Kia forte.
I love the kids vote. It is a smooth ride. The brakes are not lose when you push them. It gets great gas mileage. For a compact car it has a whole lot of leg space. I can fill up the gaff tank with $20 and it last for a whole week. I just love this vehicle.
Rachel A
on April 4, 2021
Great car at an even better price.
The car is very reliable and gets good mileage. Being a one car family, we use it a lot all day and it has never failed us. The brakes are great and the car is trustworthy. The car has great pick up and speed. The only problem I notice is that you have to put your foot on a specific part of the gas pedal in order for it to pick up.
Reggie B
on April 4, 2021
It does help you on the dashboard for when you need to switch gears.
My 2016 Kia Forte is a car that is not only great on the road it's great on gas. Its a manual that is a 6 speeds on it definitely gets up in speed. It's a four door and full size car that has great trunk space to put things in the trunk and also great space for luggage to travel. Overall, I would say the 2016 Kia Forte is a great car to drive!
Daniel M
on April 4, 2021
The Kia Forte..Great on gas and getting around for daily commutes, yet not what you are looking for if you're looking for speed or interior space.
My Kia Forte has a slick look that I really do like. Especially because I got it in black. The 4-cylinder engine is amazing on gas. I average between 30-33 mpg on my daily driving, and get in the upper 30's, and sometimes even in the 40's on the highway. Despite the gas mileage being great, it is still a 4-cylinder, and I wish it had a little more power. When accelerating into traffic, I feel like it really struggles to get up to speed. The interior is nice, but a little too small in my opinion. But you don't really buy a Forte for its cabin size. The sound system is good, and the bluetooth connectivity is really convenient. Handles well, and a decently smooth ride overall.
Katy D
on April 3, 2021
Kia forte 5 lx is the best car for gas mileage and size.
It is a very nice small car that gets good gas mileage. I drive a lot, and I only fill my tank up at least 2 times a month, at max 3. The car has not had any problems so far. The only problem is that the tires are small, and the car is fairly low to the ground.
Christine M
on April 1, 2021
Kia forte what I would change about my car.
The only thing I don't like about car is I have no key fob. The only way to open trunk is to open door and pull lever. There is no key access to the trunk. Other than that I really like the Kia I would definitely buy another one although I really want an avi with 3 wheel drive for bad weather.
Chandler J
on March 29, 2021
Dependable Kia lasts a long time
The car is comfortable but I wish it had more space. The gas mileage is phenomenal for a car that isn't a hybrid. The brakes have lasted a long time and with regular maintenance everything is going great. My only complaint was that the tires they put on didn't last very long.
Tyler A
on March 29, 2021
The most important thing others should know about my car is that it gets great gas mileage.
My car has been great. I had to get new tires and an alignment. I get great gas mileage. It's a commuter car.
Leo Nanyon LN L
on March 27, 2021
Kia's are great but I miss my Honda
The seats in the trim I have are trash. I also think it v hilarious that the screen is so tiny but it's touch responsive so that's cool. Oh and the dashboard has this weird indentation. Besides that on like the performance experience it runs like a dream and mine has 80,000 miles on it.
Rachel C
on March 27, 2021
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!
Shana B
on March 26, 2021
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.
Tiffany D
on March 22, 2021
I really like that you can change the steering wheel different levels comfort.
I love my car it has tire issues where I have to get the tire replaced a lot but otherwise it works really well. The radio messed up once. I like the heated seats very much. My car rearview mirror is very helpful but when it rains it does not work because it covers the camera. I wish that the camera also. Had the sensors that beep. When you get too close to another car.
Sharron L
on March 21, 2021
It is very difficult and expensive to update the GPS
I love my car and have had little to no problems! Kia provides great service, and or always very helpful. However my daughter bought a Kia and had problem after problem with it and had to wait for weeks to get it fixed.

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.
Brett L
on March 19, 2021
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.
Tim T

2016 Kia forte review.
It runs great, fantastic gas mileage. It is a 4 cylinder, so it is a little slow to accelerate 0-60. Average performance in heavy snow, ok in small snow amounts. Handles well on rainy roads. Has a comfortable interior. Trunk is large compared to other small vehicles.
Caralynn S
on March 18, 2021
The backup camera. I know that I am safe to move without hurting anyone.
A reliable, solid vehicle. Tech works well, Bluetooth is reliable. Controls are intuitive and easily accessed. Care and maintenance is made even easier by the friendly faces of local Kia centers. I love this car and the experience with it so far. It is my first purchase from a dealer directly and while I was sad to leave my Saturn vue, I have found the forte serves my needs just as well if not better.
Diana F
on March 18, 2021
It looks great driving down the road and is a good car for travel.
My car is very comfortable and dependable. It gets good gas mileage and easy to handle. I wish that it came with a spare tire. It has the eco button which is good because it helps with gas consumption. The heated seats come in handy as well when it is cold outside. I wish it also had air conditioned seats.
Henry D
on March 18, 2021
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.
Jennifer R
on March 16, 2021
Silky silver Kia forte a family preferred vehicle.
It is a cute car for a female. Very spacious inside, but not too big or heavy to drive. Easy to park and very smooth on turns. The only downfall is the rear tire keeps losing air, same tires when car was purchased 2 years ago. The battery had to be replaced after 2 years though. The ac went out after 1 year.
Beverly J

It is not as small as it looks.
I love the look of it I love the color how it drive I dislike all the high price servicing on it and the warranty they do not stand up to it.
Hugo R
on March 12, 2021
The features overall are great.
I like its technology: steering wheel warmer, seat warmer/coolers, Bluetooth enabled radio etc. I like some other features like sunroof and is leather seats as well. It is comfortable and have not had any issues with it. I have no complaints about the car in happy with it.
Lynn G
on March 11, 2021
Great looking vehicle and also a safe vehicle.
I love my Kia forte. It drives smoothly and is a safe car. The interior is nice and welcoming. The car us a great size for a small family and has a nice size back seats. I also like how the backseat can be pushed down to put bigger items in for more room.
Angie B
on March 8, 2021
Great for road trips with less gas needed!
My Kia has been very reliable but does not come with a spare tire unless you purchase as an extra. As the tires age it seems to hydroplane more on wet roads. The gas mileage is fantastic and for a smaller car it holds a lot and is comfortable for 3 adults to travel in for long periods of time.
Cassandra L
on March 8, 2021
It's has a very sporty look
I love car because it's a nice dependable car. It drives smooth and saves gas if in town. Not to good for long routes. It's better to use premium gas for this car for sure. I also like this car because it's really nice and sporty looking. Especially in a dark color
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.
Jacob W

It's a nice simple car. It has plenty of room for my families needs and it runs and drives really well.
It's not great for winters in Illinois. Trying to drive during the winter is a bit of a hassle

Sera K
on March 6, 2021
Great for everyday commuting.
The vehicle is reliable and comfortable. Only thing I do not like is that I have to add brake fluid more often than other cars and the brakes are not as smooth. If the brakes were smoother, I would love the car. Overall, it is a good car for everyday commuting.
Jami C

For a pre owned it is reliable.
I just bought the car 2 months ago and I haven't had any problems except it needed a alignment other than that it was fine. Good on gas on and off Hwy.Performance is good as a used car one owner. I love all the features.My car don't have backup ability.But all the other amenities.
Kelly B

Bought brand new. . . 2016 Kia forte ex.
I've never had an issue since buying this car. It has all the features we were looking in a car. We've even driven into New Jersey from South Florida and back with no problems. It's also very roomy. Roomier than their SUVs that cost a lot more money than this car.
rick k
on February 28, 2021
The car gets decent mileage per gallon. Highway driving gets about 35 and city is about 28.
I like the style of the car and also the layout of the controls to the driver. I dislike the ac where you have to have it on full blast to cool the car down. The back seat is cramp for real passengers. The trunk area is large for the size of the car.
Char A
on February 26, 2021
Great job and love the car.
Great vehicle that allows me to do everything all at once. Great speed and helps me save on gas. The car though needs a lot of maintenance and needs a lot of part that need fixing. I would recommended the vehicle for a great brand and is enjoyable. It is a great vehicles.
Yalda S
on February 25, 2021
A highlight is that the Kia forte is a great family car.
I think the car is really reliable. The performance is good not really a speedy car, however, it can drive a little bit fast. I would say it is comfortable. Some of the features are that it supports Bluetooth and does not take up much gas. I really like this car and the only problem with it is that it does not survive that well when it comes to accidents.
Briana B
on February 25, 2021
Excellent gas mileage on the Kia forte lx.
I have owned this car for just over a year and haven't experienced any issues with it yet. I bought it when it was two years old and was anticipating problems because I have never owned a Kia. The car has been nothing but reliable and it gets excellent gas mileage. The interior is also fairly spacious for a smaller sedan and you can fit almost anything in the trunk. Both back seats fold down with levers located in the trunk of the car. All in all, I am very satisfied with my purchase and would highly recommend the Kia forte to anyone looking to buy a new car.
Jessica D
on February 22, 2021
It is easy to drive and good gas mileage.
It is a basic car, it gets me from point a to point b but it is not really a fun car to drive. I also do not really feel that safe in it.
Brandi K

2016 Kia forte car review.
My car is 3 years old. It had been very reliable with few issues. We did need to replace the battery this fall. It is the basic model without any extras. The comfort level is average. It is low to the ground so it would be difficult for some to get in and out of. It also rides low to the ground so it bottoms out easily.
Robin R
on February 22, 2021
Comfortable and Reliable!
I haven't had any problems with this car. For a car on the smaller side, it's pretty spacious. I have some tall friends who've sat the back and didn't have any space issues. The seats are very comfortable. I drive to Milwaukee every few months which is about 4 hours one way for me. The car is great for that trip! It has Bluetooth connection, so I can listen to music or podcasts. It has Sirius radio available which I love. It's a good little car that will get you where you need to go!
Kurtis S
on February 21, 2021
My cars name is Kenya and she’s a Kia.
Hi hello, I like my Kia because it is mine and regardless of the things that others who appear more successful than myself, it gets me to where I need to go and it is the precious memories that were shared within riding from city to city on a daily basis making moves. Performance is standard for the typical Kia vehicle, it is nice that it let's change the way you drive either thru auto shifting or manual shifting capabilities. I have been know to drive over the limit of what was an expected oil change and haven't had major issues as of yet. I do need to inspect the transmission and have everything flushed. But that is about it for my forte.
Tea S
on February 18, 2021
Very reliable, efficient and good gas mileage.
My car is very reliable, never gives me any trouble. The gas mileage is very good, and it only takes $20 to fill my tank up completely. As long as I make sure I get my oil change on time, it is not much I can say about the engine. It has Bluetooth, and the seats are good for sitting for a while.
Markie T
on February 18, 2021
2016 Kia forte, great car!
No problems very reliable good on gas, I like the features inside, wish it was a little more diverse for a 2016 car but on a scale it is a car that makes you comfortable, it is easy to drive, no problems like I said earlier.It's a great car for a beginning family simply because of how much you can save on gas and maintenance.
Sonya M
on February 17, 2021
It starts having car troubles after 2 years of driving.
I like how it fits my size and it very great on gas. I do not like the seats. How my interior is black (I own a dog the sheds) and the speed it does not pick up. I enjoy the optima a lot more.
Nicole B
on February 15, 2021
Sporty but economic! Great looking car!
Very fast. It has eco button to save on gas. It has Bluetooth and satellite radio. Smaller than i'd like with a family of five but it's an economy car that drives really well so I can take the smaller size. The motor seems strong and things do not break down often.
Courtney C
on February 13, 2021
It gets great gas mileage.
This vehicle gets really good gas mileage, it is a great small family car. It has Bluetooth capabilities so you can stream music from your phone. You can also receive and make phone calls hand free. It has a spacious trunk for packing or grocery shopping. It has cup holders in all four doors and also in between the front seats and also in the middle seat in the back. All in all I would say this is a great car for people that is always on the go or just would like to get good gas mileage.
Jill A
on February 13, 2021
High reliability paired with attractive features: a winning combination.
My car is very fuel efficient, with no performance problems. Since I have had this vehicle, it has been consistently reliable and with a good solid warranty. The features on it, such as anti- lock brakes make me pretty confident about driving it each day. The dark blue trim is very attractive, and I always keep up the regular maintenance routines, such as oil.Changes/ new filters as needed. I have read some consumer reports on the Kias and was happy with the information I learned. It is very comfortable to drive, with no cramped spaces. It has the compact look without the confining feel. Also, parts are not difficult to obtain with the Kia. I would highly recommend a Kia to anyone in the market for a new or pre- owned car. This is by far the most reliable and fuel efficient car I have ever driven.
Kiersten S
on February 12, 2021
My car gets fantastic gas mileage and is super fun to drive too!
A small, 5 seat gas efficient car. Non Sporty car. Nothing special, but gets me from point A to B. I do a lot of driving and need something gas efficient.
Kim M

We love it!! Roomy and comfortable.
Reliable vehicle, great gas mileage, I have a family of 5 and there is plenty of room, we travel all the time. We are a very active family with all 3 children in sports year round. The trunk is room and allows us to take all necessary things with us. We love the car.
Kara S
on February 3, 2021
Good car. Great mileage. Easy ride.
The car is more for the drive than the beauty. It drives really well and helps me get from point A to point B. Although the car is not preferred I would have to say that I love the car because without it I would not be able to get to and from work. Five out of five.

Kia forte, not my favorite.
I sit low in my seat. It feels like a race car, I do not like that. The windshield is super large, I love that! And I have a hatchback, which is why I purchased this vehicle. The seats are not super comfortable and it is a very basic model. In hindsight, I should have purchased a different car.
Brenda D

My love for my 2016 Kia Forte LX
The only problem I have had with my 2016 Kia Forte LX is the battery didn't last for 3 years. Other than that I absolutely love my Kia. Forte LX. The backup screen really helps you see what is around the back end of the car so you don't run over things that normally you wouldn't see.

It's a good size and the stereo is great. I love how much mileage per gallon I get, and the trunk can fit a lot.

Low gas mileage both highway and on regular rods.
This vehicle is a very reliable vehicle, good on gas and is very comfortable. The performance is great and the price to get any maintenance done is a good price. I really do love this vehicle. I haven't really had any problems with this vehicle thus far.

My amazingly awesome car.
This has by far been the best car I have ever had. It runs great and I have not had any problems with it yet. I love the way it runs. The brakes are good. The overall performance of my car has been great. I don't ever want to get rid of this car. My is one of a kind.

An excellent vehicle with lots of underrated perks.
My Kia forte is the best vehicle I have ever owned. My fuel mileage is excellent, 30 mpg on average. It is very low and hugs the ground. The only problem I have experienced is that my tires wear down a bit faster than in other cars I have owned. They are lower profile tires so that is not abnormal. Overall, a very reliable and good looking car and I love it.

Reliable, and great gas mileage is what makes my Kia forte great.
I love my Kia forte. I have had no problems with it at all. It is extremely reliable. It is not the more expensive model, but it does have satellite radio availability for some channels. It gets incredible miles per gallon of gas. At first, I regretted buying a car with a manual transmission, but found out that is one of the factors that makes the gas consumption so incredibly low. So now I am extremely happy with my choice.

Kia forte ex 2016 review specs.
It's a good reliable car. I usually get about twenty five through thirty miles per gallon when going on the highway it can be more sometimes, I pay for gas about twenty three dollars every seven or eight days. The car is very safe, it has a back camera that helps a lot for parking, it has a USB port for charging phones or connecting music, it has Bluetooth option too for music and to call from the car and talk through the cars speakers. It has a lot of space in back and front seats. Fits 5 people comfortably. The trunk has a nice net to hold groceries. The rims are a little big so buying tires is a little more expensive but nothing too crazy. It's very good for getting to work or school. Has 4 air conditioning vents. Horn sounds nice and loud. Radio and audio sounds fairly clear. Very easy to handle, also has 3 different steering comforts which I like a lot.

A grey color and a nice shape.
It is condition not working well, it is too slow and not comfortable at all. I hope I would change it soon. It has a nice features such as its color and its shape. Something that will help car buyers is that if they want to buy a great car is to look for the best features.

Kia forte - great vehicle.
My 2016 Kia forte has been a very reliable vehicle. I have had the regular maintenance done on it and have had absolutely no issues at all. For being a smaller vehicle, it is really pretty roomy. It also gets great gas mileage. I would definitely recommend this vehicle!

Drives amazing and amazing gas mileage.
Anything above 80mph, the car swerves and must be controlled with both hands. I got my car less than a month ago and it is very reliable. I get anywhere from 30-39 mpg which is amazing! The vehicle drives well other than that and it's a great car for the beach especially.

Easy to drive and the team who do checkups are amazing, and really good on gas.
I love that it's easy on gas and easy to drive, I just wish it was a bit bigger. I like that it's lasted as long as it has with no problems. I also love that I get free oil changes.

Great car: spacious trunk tight back seat.
Overall I have had no issues with the car. Everything in the car works perfectly. The only issue I have had is the seats are rather firm and can get uncomfortable on long car trips. The trunk space is very large and can easily fit all of your groceries. The back can be cramped but not that bad if shorter friends or family use it.

Super nice and very roomy. It is super good on gas and has great mileage!
It's a very comfortable car to drive! The seats are adjustable & the dashboard is very wide and gives you a clear wide view of what's in front of you. The trunk is big and can hold a lot of stuff at once. The backseat has room for 3 people and all have seat belts. They have sun-visors with mirrors which really come in handy a lot. It also has storage space!

The bumpiness of riding in it. It handles long trips well, but when you go over train tracks or potholes you really feel it
Like space and look. So far it's functioned well and is good on gas. Dislike the bumpiness of how it feels riding in it. Any bumps on the road are felt and it takes them stiffly.

Kia forte is a greatly reliable vehicle.
My vehicle has been nothing but reliable. Built in technology reminds you when a service is due for your car. Comfort is great, easy to navigate and drive. Rear camera allows you to back out of spaces with full visibility. Bluetooth compatibility is a positive addition for hands free calling, media and maps.

Best small family car ever.
The Kia forte has soft and supportive seats that allow you to be safe and comfortable. The back seat has metal clips for car seats to be anchored to safely. The engine is quiet and powerful at the same time. The brakes are reliable and strong enough to stop you when you need to at any speed. Overall this car is a very reliable family car with enough features to be happy and safe.

Gas mileage, dependency, speedy.
I have never really had any problems with my car, it gets very good gas mileage, very dependent on long drives. Never had it break down or anything like that I would very much recommend it. Especially for younger kids starting to drive, very safe and spendable.

I loved the shape and style of the car.
Love the style of the Forte koup. I am leasing and the car is fully loaded. The ride is nice and it has a comfortable interior. Like the gas mileage, it is pretty good on the road. Love the warrantee. Nothing beats the Kia coverage. I picked Kia because of their warranty. I know the car will be covered for a long time which will save me, hopefully, money in the long run.

Virtually indestructible: yes, it is hyperbole but I do enjoy my Kia.
Affordability was a big factor in purchasing my vehicle, as well as reliability. It has been said that Kia's are virtually indestructible, provided that the owner keeps on top of maintenance such as oil changes and such. All in all, I am very satisfied with my Kia--it is actually the second Kia I have purchased. Should I become in the market for a new car, I would probably consider Kia then as well.

Stylish and reliable vehicle.
The vehicle runs very well. Love the color of the car and the seats. Comfortable to ride in as the driver or a passenger. I really like that the gas compartment is locked and must be opened from the inside. My only complaints are that the car had no cruise control or clicker to lock car from afar, but this must have to do with the car that I specifically bought.

It will get you to your destination for a fraction of the price of others
It is an affordable car for what you get. I don't need much in a car. I wish it had rear view navigation. That is my only complaint!

I love my Kia forte and am happy with my purchase.
I love my Kia forte. I have had it for 4 years and have had no problems with it. No recalls. It is reliable and gets good gas mileage. I like the way it looks outside and inside. I didn't have to spend a fortune to get a good car. My only complaint is that the paint job is not good. It has chipped a lot.

Extremely reliable vehicle.
I have loved my Kia forte since the day I bought it. The interior has a great, modern design that is still spacious enough to seat everyone comfortably. I love the way the car drives as the steering is very easy. The gas mileage on the car is also a plus. I average about 27-30 mpg driving on both highways and streets.

Safety is top priority! So many different safety features make it exceptional!
I love my Forte! Drives so well and I love all of the safety features. The heating and ac controls for every space in the vehicle really make a difference, also. Great car!
