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.

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.

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.

Overall a good safe and reliable vehicle.

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.

Kia forte. Great on gas mileage and traveling.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
accountCircle 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Pretty color of Kia forte.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Computer issue happened. It took Kia 3 weeks to figure out the issue. Car locked in park and would not move.

Great mileage and very dependable. I have not yet had a mechanical problem
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!
accountCircle Sarah H on January 17, 2021
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.
accountCircle Kaitlyn G on January 16, 2021
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.
accountCircle Hayley M on January 16, 2021
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.
accountCircle Kaylee B on January 14, 2021
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.
accountCircle Todd G on January 6, 2021
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!
