Fast and smooth, look down at the speedometer it is going faster than you think.
I really like the Kia forte that we bought used over a year ago. I have had no problems with performance or reliability. It has a 6 gear shift with a clutch and can perform very good. It has the ability to not roll on a hill, it can accelerate fast, it hugs the road on curves. There are too many attributes to be able to list them all. Over all I am very glad that we chose this car.

Handles like a dream for me!
Super comfy and safe to drive! Amazing gas mileage and I have never had a recall on my car! Absolutely love how it handles in the winter and just in general! Interior is amazing! Has Bluetooth, Sirius radio, and has a USB and aux port. I have had my car for 2 years now and am not planning on trading it in any time soon!

Reliable with great gas mileage.
I really like my Kia forte! Only issue that I faced with my Kia was that the paint was chipping terribly on the front bumper. I took it in and go it fix and I still see some small chips. The car itself is running really well I have had it for almost a year and I really enjoy the gas mileage it is perfect for travelers you will not break the bank trying to fill your tank.

Black Kia forte good vehicle.
My vehicle is a really nice car. It is black and it rides smooth. It is pretty fast. I really like fast cars. I wish it had a touch screen radio but it is older so it didn’t come with one. I also wish it had a sunroof but I know not all vehicles come with one. But overall really good car.

2017 Kia forte very reliable affordable car.
Great four door family car. Very reliable and pretty good on gas. I haven’t had any problems with the car. No cruise control on the model I have 2017 Kia forte lx that would be the only complaint I have and that is not a problem just irritating at times. So would say be prepared on a road trip but that being said it keeps your attention more on the road.

Perfect for me as I retire!
I have a Kia forte hatchback. It is exactly what I need at this time in my life. I’ll be retiring soon and I have an adult child who lives with me. This car gets excellent gas mileage, plenty of room, and is easy to maintain. I highly recommend this vehicle.
Terry M
on May 31, 2021
I love the white inlay in the headlights, as well as the Bluetooth feature.
It is sleek smooth and great on gas dependable and affordable. We have taken it on family road trips and have had no issues. The extra functions like rear view camera and Bluetooth work great and are great additions. The parts are cheap if anything needs to be replaced good bang for your buck.
Balee D
on May 31, 2021
So quiet you will not even know your car is running!
I love how small the car is yet still so roomy on the inside with a large spacious trunk. The layout on the inside is simple yet so clean and elegant. I love the radio layout and features. The only complaint I have is the suspension is a little rough when hitting bumps but that is all.
Thomas M
on May 26, 2021
There are nothing special or interesting.
The shocks are terrible, it is too small, I have the kids and it gets crowded in there sometimes. It drives good but my car does not even have cruise control, which is a must for my lead feet! It is a reliable car and still works great but I need a bigger car!
Teisha R

2017 Kia forte. Very affordable.
The only features it has are daytime running lights, power door locks and windows. Entry model level. Very small. Great gas mileage. Economical. Low price. Warranty is great. Affordable. Good options of color. Not really a roomy car for a family. My tire light stays on no matter what. Recently started running rough.
Joani G
on May 19, 2021
Great on gas but cheaply made.
I have the base model. The only thing I hate about the vehicle is the latch is plastic for the trunk mine broke. Also there is no cruise control on my car, the rims are plastic also. The car is a good starter car for someone who is in high school and only drives it to work and school. It is very good on gas.
John K
on May 14, 2021
Kia forte has great fuel economy.
I have had the Kia forte on a lease for almost 3 years now, due soon at the end of the year. The car has served well and is reliable for short and long distance travel. Fuel economy is great, and it accounts for most of my needs and haven't thought about getting a different brand/make. Seats are comfortable, plenty of storage space, not too loud inside etc. Overall a great car. Looking to lease a new one for the next 3 years.
Corrin C
on May 5, 2021
A reliable car with lots of features.
Recently purchased a used 2017 Kia forte. It has many features such as keyless entry, Bluetooth, apple carplay, blind spot detection and lane keep assist. Overall, I love the car the only downside is I feel the gas tank is smaller. However, that is something to expect with a smaller sedan.
Katelyn I
on May 1, 2021
Kia forte: perfect for the price!
I love my forte! While it might not be the fanciest car out there it is affordable, has a smooth drive, the inside looks great, and I love having apple carplay. The only reason I did not select 5 is because in the long run I wish I had an SUV. Personally I like to sit up higher and would like to fit a small kayak on the rooftop comfortably. But if the forte ever had a crossover version I would definitely be interested in purchasing!

Very affordable nice headroom also the rearview camera helps at night.
The car has a smooth ride. It also lets you know when you need services. The car will not lock when you leave your vehicle on and your keys are in the pocket once you step out of the vehicle with the keys in your pocket and you leave your car on I will let you know with a beep. It is also very spacious I am one out of two children that are big we have enough leg room in enough room to move around.
Ashley G

The Kia forte handles really well and gets great mileage.
Our vehicle handles really well in all kinds of weather. The gas mileage is awesome as well. We have never had an issue with connecting to Bluetooth or any of the other services. The rearview camera is super helpful. It has lots more trunk space than originally thought.

Spacious and comfortable hatchback with excellent gas mileage.
Excellent and reliable little car. Very spacious for a hatchback. All of the electronic features are fantastic. Very comfortable seats and spacious interior. Great gas mileage. Great indication lights/symbols. Comfortably sits 5 people plus luggage in the trunk.

Kia is a very good car for anyone.
The Kia forte runs smooth with any problems and comfortable seat and great storage room. Comes with satellite radio and hands free phone calls. The blue color I have is a nice shade of blue. I haven't had any wrong and I regularly maintain it to keep it good.
Jeremy K
on April 24, 2021
Great car. Definitely recommend to others.
I have no major problems with my vehicle. I drive full time for work and have 131,000 miles on vehicle and it still drives beautifully. I have only had regular maintenance done on vehicle. This car also gets wonderful gas mileage. I definitely recommend this car to others looking for a reliable vehicle.
Shauna H
on April 15, 2021
Headlights and turn signal issue.
The only issue I have with my Kia is that the headlights go out if I turn on my turn signal with the high beams on. The headlights will shut off for a few seconds and then come back on. It does not happen all the time, but frequently enough for it to be an issue.
Donnell B
on April 14, 2021
The Kia forte is a great car.
It is really comfortable expecting a nice car like this should get your hopes up. It is really nice in the inside and outside and also has some cool features. I would say that I love my current car and I would buy a new one when I want to. It is great for road trips and having a big family.
Koala K
on April 11, 2021
Good small car reliable for getting around.
It is a good reliable vehicle but it is too small for a growing family proving much. I like to do crafts and redo furniture and it is not got much space but the back seat is spacious. I need a truck or SUV for the space and height. Has done me well the last three years.
Nicole G
on April 10, 2021
Safe & reliable, love this car so much.
I think it is a great and reliable car. Sturdy and great on gas mileage. I feel safe with my family in it while going on long road trips. As long as you do the required maintenance, the car will last a long time. You will love it and you are family will love it. It is one of the safest and most reliable cars I have ever owned.
Derek D
on April 8, 2021
Great smaller car for anyone.
This car has been a great car. Mine has over 140k miles on it and hasn't had any major issues. The only work it has had done was replacing the coil packs at about 100k miles. It drives great and has plenty of power for its size. I am glad I made that purchase.
Lisa D

My vehicle is silver grey colored and small.
I enjoy my vehicle very much. My vehicle is good on gas. It does not use to much gas quickly and it fills up on around twenty five dollars. The performance of the vehicle is good as well. It runs smoothly and does not have a loud engine. I like the radio system and comfort of the seats as well.
Sheryl W
on March 31, 2021
Drives great but not worth the money and it lacks certain features
The car has poor take off. It's too low to the ground. Not enough leg room in the back seats. Great on gas. It does not have cruise control like the 2015 Kia had. It lacks a lot of features considering the year. Drives smooth. I hate that I can't replace the lights on my own, I have to go to the dealer.
Amber J
on March 31, 2021
Best car for new driver on the road.
It is a durable, reliable car especially for new drivers, it is not to big and easy to maintain. The car takes no more than 20 bucks to fill up as well. The car is also comfortable and that comes in handy when taking trips. It also has a very smooth ride, & don't make much noise when cranking up either.
Daniel K
on March 26, 2021
Overall very reliable 4 out of 5. Gas mileage is great, 35- 40 mpg.
The inside cabin noise is not as good as I would like. A little louder than I expected. Especially notable on long trips. The lack of cruise control also was disappointing. Make sure to ask if your selection has cruise control. Gas lid cover does not activate every time of first pull.
Frankie R
on March 26, 2021
Simple smooth clean ride!
Quiet smooth ride, little to no problem, good gas mileage, simple yet nice, great performance, super reliable, comes with a touch screen radio system, hands free phone calling, radio controls on steering wheel, cruise control, automatic lights, automatic car
Rose N

Really great car. Has a lot of plus sides to it.
Love my vehicle. Gets great gas mileage and it is cheap to get repairs if need be. It is also very comfortable, there is plenty of room in both front and back. Great family car all the way around. I love the stereo system as well it is very powerful and the voice command makes it easy to call or text while driving. U do not need your phone or to take your eyes off the road.
Steve A
on March 25, 2021
Roomy interior easy fits a person 6 foot.
The only thing I find disconcerting is that it is very easy to switch between modes. Otherwise the interior is very roomie. The seats are adjustable to easily fit a six foot person. More than ample leg room. The trunk has plenty of space. The light and wiper controls are well placed and responsive.
Maria S
on March 24, 2021
My vehicle is nice and small and convenient. It has hands free capabilities.
Great car. It's good on gas and is a perfect fit for a small family. The car has no space though for a spare tire but comes with a limited tire package when tire needs to be replaced. Not as convenient when you need a spare though. The car has Bluetooth capabilities that allow for hands free driving.
Shaquan J
on March 24, 2021
It is fun sized but with all the technological features.
It's very comfortable and appropriate for people who like small vehicles. It functions great and drives smoothly. My only complaint is the defogger for the back window is much slower than what I was accustomed to. Also, sometimes the steering wheel locks and I cannot turn the key.
Dee S
on March 24, 2021
Kia forte is good for the money.
The Kia forte is a reliable car and is worth the money you spend on it. The few problems I have with the car is that it is on the smaller side and can be a little uncomfortable at times (seats, are stiff). This car is great in gas and has a sporty look.
Barbara S
on March 23, 2021
Very good vehicle, would recommend it to anyone.
I bought my vehicle a year ago and like it very much. I have had no problems with it except for a accident I was in and the guy almost totaled it. Other then that I enjoy it very much. It is very good on gas and rides real smooth. Also is very roomy so you do not feel closed in.
Kinsey V
on March 22, 2021
The good and bad of my Kia.
I am not the first person to own the Kia, my car. So it has some scratches on the outside, one of the headlights are busted, but the light still works. Now on the inside is a different story, I mean it is a beautiful car, great on gas and very reliable! But there are some burn holes in the set. Two I think, maybe just one. But I hate it. And the owner before me has a roach problem I believe so we are constantly having to bug bomb it. It is getting better, and we will not have this problem for very long anymore. But other than that, it is an awesome car, my first Kia. I would definitely recommend!
Keke J
on March 22, 2021
I highly love this vehicle.
I really haven't had any problems. It is great on gas. This is my second Kia. The trunk has a lot of shape for shopping and if you have kids in a stroller. It is very spacious I have a nephew that is more than 6ft and he sits comfortable. I highly recommend this vehicle.

Over priced fiber glass and cheap manufacturing parts .
I have a 2017 Kia forte had it for 2yrs now almost 3yrs already having issues with the trunk out of no where want stay close and lever inside not working as well. Car is good on gas . I wasnt too happy about not having cruise control or spare . I dont like how slow to get up it takes. Not a very good manufactured car at all. Wish I could rid myself of my troubles since I no longer drive anyways. Do Better Kia for the asking price should be better made .

The most important to me is Affordability
I love the KIA line of vehicles. I bought he Fore Sedan but wish I had selected the Coupe. They are good on fuel. They are a quality product and don't break the bank to own one.

Kia fantastic vehicle love driving my Kia.
I drove gm products all of my life. Until I bought my.Kia. Love my Kia. Roomy, reliability, gas mileage, comfort. Dealership, and people have been tremendous. Front wheel drive is very stable and reliable. Drive for hours and am very comfortable. Will most likely continue to purchase Kia..
Kelsey D
on March 12, 2021
Compact, easy to drive, reliable.
The Kia forte is very comfortable and great on gas. We fit comfortable as a family of 4 in the car. We have had no issues with it so far. It is very reliable. We would most likely buy another Kia in the future. It is also a smooth ride with great breaks.
Michael B
on March 10, 2021
Outstanding vehicle in performance.
My 2017 kia forte s is the fourth kia I have owned. I 've never have had any problems with any of the. I will be buying a new one sometime soon. They all had smooth riding, they get great mileage, our current vehicle gets up to 41 miles per gallon on the highway and most of the time we gat 29 miles per gallon in town. Our vehicle has many extra safety features. Everyone I talk to says kia really stands behind their vehicles.
Stephanie L
on March 9, 2021
Very sleek looking model. No upgrades needed. Sirius XM radio came with the car.
Clean inside, does not have a cruise control option, very comfortable seats, great highway miles, local miles not so much. Light only in the middle of the car. Good enough legroom and trunk space. Cloth inside material. Sort of jumps when shifting from first to second gear.
Brenda Smith

Great gas mileage. Easy to drive. Great car to drive.
It is a great vehicle. I have no issues with it and enjoy driving it. It does not have any items that I don't need and everything I do need.
Hannah K
on March 7, 2021
Kia forte is good but a little junky.
My car is very reliable and has good gas mileage. The one I have does not have heated seats or remote start which is disappointing for a newer model. I also have an issue with opening the trunk from the driver's seat. The lever seems to be broken and my tail lights seem to go out quickly. Other than that I feel safe and enjoy my vehicle.
Melanie H
on March 6, 2021
The Kia Forte gets great gas mileage and is very fuel efficient.
I just purchased my car within the last month and I love it. My car is spacious with plenty of room for adults and children. I love the large trunk space. I get 30-50 mpg when driving.
Dominique P
on March 4, 2021
This car is reliable, works well, and will make you happy as you are driving it.
I wish this car had a back up camera and cruise control, but those are always things that can be installed later. It does not hinder my driving since I learned how to drive without either of those things. This car is extremely comfortable and reliable. It is my first car and is great for getting me where I want to go without issues. The temperature control is great. It does not take long for the car to warm up or cool down. I love the Bluetooth feature because I can have my music and GPS play through the car. I can control the volume and skip songs from the steering wheel, which is amazing when I am taking long trips.
Meg C
on March 3, 2021
A woman's perspective on this car.
Really great for people who do not know a lot about cars!! Or a new driver. I wouldn't recommend this car for a car enthusiast! I'drives very well and is easy to clean. A lot of room but not enough room for kids. I would recommend for a single/younger persons.
Diana J

Reflection of the dash on the windshield.
There is a bad reflection of the dash on the windshield. When you are driving, especially on a sunny day, or at night with street lights on, it makes it very difficult to see the road because your looking through the reflection of the dash through the windshield.
Piper S
on March 1, 2021
My car is white and semi small, it is very cute and simple.
The tire pressure gets really low in the winter. But, overall this is a nice car, I have never had an issue with it, comfortable seating, adjustment seating and steering wheel, and the trunk is actually really big, very good car, the payments are not that much a month, and it is a very durable car.
Gina W
on February 28, 2021
Gas mileage, size, dependability. Wish the payment was less.
Great gas mileage! Between 33-42 per gallon. I only have to full up every 2 weeks.
Nadine P
on February 26, 2021
Kia satisfies all of Its customers.
The Kia forte has good power, and gets good gas mileage. The paint faded on the hatchback but Kia took care of it. The air conditioning is great in this car considering it is a small car. I would recommend this car to people who are single or for a young person.
Alice W
on February 26, 2021
Awesome gas mileage. Also, the customer service at the dealership is outstanding. They will get you what you need.
Overall, the vehicle is great. It gets very good gas mileage. However, there have been a few technical issues with the car, such as the gas tank cover not opening. Also, I wish the trunk space was a bit bigger.
Alexander P
on February 21, 2021
The thing I like most about this vehicle is most definitely the headlights.
I own a 2017 Kia forte ex. The vehicle makes excellent gas mileage averaging about 32 mpg. The only issue we’ve had with this particular vehicle was at about 47,000 miles the bottom end of the engine went out. As we bought the car new and were first owners of this vehicle we were under the 6 year 60,000 mile warranty so it was covered for the repairs.
Sydney P
on February 21, 2021
I would describe my vehicle as a smooth ride and comfy seating.
It is the perfect first car. The only thing I would change about the vehicle is that I just wish there were cup holders in the back and more lights within the car. The car only has one overhead light that is very dim. There’s a front panel on the roof of the car where a light would be but, there is no light.
Linda J
on February 20, 2021
Superb car - great service.
Excellent performance and reliability. The service plan and the warranty program are great. I had one problem with the car misfiring and the warranty completely covered the repair and the rental car that I used while the car was being repaired. The service center is clean and comfortable and the staff is professional and super helpful.
Erica L
on February 20, 2021
My car has these windows on the driver side & passenger side for the blind spots.
I love my car! It is my first car. I learned how to drive my father's car. He drives a 2010 ford fusion. The cars are similar in their own ways. In my opinion my car drives way smoother but probably only because it is a couple years newer. Overall love my car!
Cody N

Kia forte is a great car for a small family.
I love my car. It is amazing on gas. Very cheap to drive to work on a daily basis. Trunk is large enough for all of my groceries on pay day. Big enough for all of my kids school sports items. It also has an amazing radio in it with Bluetooth speakers so I can hands free text and call.

2017 Kia forte review- like it.
The Kia has so far done pretty well. The gas mileage is the best I have ever had in a car, the interior is roomy and comfortable, it is been easy to maintain, and have been good on 4 different road trips. I have had to buy new tires and wipers but no major problems yet, the only thing the original tires said seem cheap and didn't last long.
Cass A
on February 19, 2021
Fuel efficient car, great car.
Great car, comfortable and easy to drive. I bought it used and have had it for about a year now. No problems or maintenance since I have purchased it. I love how fuel efficient the car is and look forward to seeing that at the end of each trip. The car has both sport and eco mode.
Frank B
on February 17, 2021
The car is very dependable in all weather conditions.
Being a Forte S model I like the car a lot. It has all features I wanted except a heated steering wheel that I may add to it. The Car has great warranty, gets very go gas mileage and is easy to drive.
Amanda A
on February 15, 2021
Its automatic,clean, great on gas.
There's no cruise control. It has cloth seats. Basic model for the price. I paid too much for it. I still love it.
Ana A

‘luxury’ feels. Good in gas. Great engine.
Wasn't too sure about switching to Kia at first because I used to own a Hyundai and liked how it drove but I absolutely love this car! This interior is super comfortable and perfect for my commutes. The car drives super quietly and smooth but speeds up quickly and efficiently. Would recommend for anyone wanting a nice ‘luxury’ car without paying the ‘luxury’ price.
Diana N

It is a safe car has space in the trunk and I can put a lot of stuff in the car.
It is a comfortable car it is not to small but not to big. I feel like I am safe in it when I am driving around. No problems in the car not even on the road. It is a good car to be driving in and feels safe just all around a very good car. Sometimes it is a little cramped but not to much where I am to cramped.
Kali M
on February 10, 2021
This is a low end entry model compact sedan.
Compact car handling is rough, the car runs noisily. Low to ground has no rear backup camera standard. Many industry safety standards are extra on this model. 2 cylinder does not have any pick up and go. Rear seat leg room and head space is cramped. There is no heads up display, lights on car do not pick up road well.
Concetta R
on February 8, 2021
Efficient and good looking.
Great gas mileage, handles well, comfortable,easy to maneuver and park, has great pickup, easy to care for interior, white color is easy to keep clean. Kia service dept is comfortable, clean and accommodation. And honest. They keep you up to date with emails. Kia has a great warranty.
Sean C

It is extremely reliable. Great for tight space turning and plenty of trunk space.
Very reliable vehicle. I haven't had 1 problem yet. It's very affordable, Kia is a great, safe brand, and I will use it for the next five years at least.
Cody G
on February 6, 2021
I love that it has a backup camera with a touch screen display.
It is a comfortable, smooth riding, with a back up camera. Also has a big trunk. Has four doors gets almost 40 miles to a gallon. Bluetooth capability. Has a surprising amount of room in the back. I get free inspections for life as long as I own the car. The dealership is very pleasurable to work with. They take good care of their customers.
Christine M

Fantastic choice, great for everyday use, efficient and looks nice!
It gets great gas mileage! It is very efficient and also good for the environment. I also love the apple carplay feature. The seats are comfortable and the car looks sleek, and nice which is an added bonus. Great car, would recommend to anyone! I'm very happy with it!

The truth about the Kia forte it is handling and reliability.
I really have had no problems with the vehicle. It is been a pleasure to own this wonderful car, the fuel economy has been great. It is the first foreign vehicle I have owned and come highly recommended. The ride and reliability is the most appealing aspects of this vehicle.
Adele J
on February 4, 2021
Wonderful ride/ flimsy aesthetics.
I haven't had any major issues with my Lisa Forte. It had a smooth ride. For the price, it has a lot of features that make it compatible with Bluetooth, satellite radio and your smartphone.However, no product is perfect. There have been a couple of cosmetic issues. The mat on the passenger side melted into the car floor carpet, the gear shaft cover and foot rest beside the brake dislodged. Sometimes, I have to pop the trunk; in order to open the gas compartment.
Joanne M
on February 4, 2021
It drives smoothly and gets great gas mileage.
My vehicle is good on gas. It is comfortable in the front seat and the back seat. It warms up and cools down fast. I have had my vehicle since 2017 and have had no major problems. I take it to Kia for my oil change and they are very nice to work with. I haven't had any major recalls on it.
Amy F
on February 2, 2021
Great space! Greater brakes!
I love how smooth the drive is! I desperately needed a vehicle and then this beauty fell into my life. There is plenty of space for me and my friends. The trunk has phenomenal space and organizational hidden features! Always reliable! 4 years and still haven't needed to change the brakes.
Casey C
on February 2, 2021
The car does not have a spare tire, just fix-a-flat.
I like that my vehicle is good on gas, it rides really smooth, it is spacious on the inside, and technology is mostly up to date. However, I do not like that it does not have cruise control to go along with the great gas mileage. It also does not have a sunroof. Another thing I do not like is the fact that it didn't come with a spare tire. It only came with something like fix-a-flat and an air compressor.
Tiffany K
on February 1, 2021
It is sleek looking and the color is amazing. Very smooth riding.
So the one thing I would say that is kind of disappointing is that new cars a cheaply made so the pins that are used to hold the underlining come out easily and are plastic. The lining under the wheel wells get damaged by the tires if those pins come out and if you have a warranty on it Kia will not replace it must pay out of pocket for the fix and it is around $400.
Ahson R
on February 1, 2021
Perfect vehicle for my needs.
I have no measurable issues with my vehicle to date. It has been very reliable. My vehicle has 67,000+ miles on it. I use it as my primary vehicle and do a lot of day to day driving with it along with a lot of expressway driving. I've only need to complete normal maintenance for it. I have purchased new tires, replaced headlights, wipers etc.

Vehicle overview and thoughts on Kia ownership.
Reliable, comfortable, spacious. Great for road tripping. Good gas mileage. Never problems yet. Would stick with Kia from now on. Lots of storage space. Good pick-up. My wife loves the car. We also enjoy satellite radio on occasion. The price is good and affordable as well.

Great starter car for anyone on a budget.
Stalling but that could be due to driving a lot. Great amount of room. Greta car for new drivers. Never have a lot of issues. The only issues I can think of are e people that work at the Kia car shop. They are not the greatest or friendliest. But all in all I do recommend this car it runs great.

Kia forte s review- very reliable.
I love my car because it rides smooth, has everything I need in a car and it is great on gas mileage! I have not had any major problems out of it and I have had it since 2018. The seats are comfortable and it is not too cramped and very reliable! It has a lot of trunk space surprisingly and there has not been one thing I could not fit in my car! It would be a great vehicle for anyone who has a longer commute to work or just travels a lot via driving in general!

2017 Kia forte familiarization.
My car has been durable and had no mechanical issues to note. I can fill up my tank for about $20-25 a week. My dog is part husky and cleaning can be difficult due to the interior fabric. It performs satisfactory. Is not super good at accelerating quickly onto highways, but within time can be at a correct speed.

Great car at reasonable price.
This is a sporty car at a reasonable price. It gets excellent gas mileage. The touch screen is easy to use and the Android auto smartphone integration was easy to set up. Good car overall with no maintenance issues.

Reliable engine but sometimes lags and shudders
It is a very reliable vehicle and I have had very few problems so far. From time to time the engine will shudder (very rare) and sometimes the acceleration has a bit of a lag

Reliable car for a first time new car owner.
My car is pretty reliable I have had a couple of problems with the ignition coil and it started to misfire but once those were fixed I have not really had any problems. It is pretty comfortable to ride it very spacious for a smaller car. I have driven it for 12 hours straight and I only had to fill up the tank once so it does get good gas mileage.

Big features in an economic car.
The car have excellent performance with sport shift for days that you want to feel the drive with the windows down. The seats are a little stiff but it works well with the car and makes you feel safe. The car apple car play with really good features while driving, in addition to adding siri into controlling music and looking for directions without the need to look at the radio and manipulate the phone. It reads text back to you and allows you to voice reply to a text so you can keep your eyes where you should while driving.

Kia forte: comfort, reliability and a gas saver.
Our 2017 Kia is very reliable, great on gas and has never given us issues and we have traveled in the vehicle quite a bit. Some cons to note, not the most comfortable vehicle we've been in but we make do. Also does not have a lot of room in the back of the vehicle especially for older(long legs) children. We use our Kia for shorter distance trips, running your typical errands and getting back and forth to work!

2017 Kia forte short review
My 2017 Kia forte is very much comfortable. I like that the gear shift is in the middle and not by the steering wheel. I love the color which looks like a eggplant color. AC/heater works great. I love a CSR with cruise control but this one does not have it. Has Bluetooth to connect your phone for calls and media. The gas tank is opened by a pull switch on the inside on the bottom left of driver door. As well as the trunk. Although the trunk lever stopped working. And I had to use the key button to open it which includes turning off car when it was on. Eventually the lock on the inside of truck broke and it doesn't stay closed. And I've yet to get it fixed by the dealership.

Kia forte5 - reliability and fun.
I currently own a 2017 Kia forte5 hatchback. It is not quite as sporty as the turbo model but it is very fun to drive. Kias made in the last ten years or so are very reliable as a whole and this forte falls in to that. The combination of reliability and bells and whistles make it a very good vehicle to own. I would definitely recommend it to someone.

The New School Family Car
Nice car, good on gas, acceleration issues, car didn't come with key fob, I bought it used with 100,000 mile warranty for 11,000. Great family car. Does awesome on the highway. New engine but reminds me of a older model car on the inside. No electric seats or any fancy technology. Simple car great for budgeting

2017 Kia forte- luxury without the price.
I like this car a lot. Not only does it come with many safety features like a back up camera, rear traffic alerts, side mirror radars, and more but the car is very reliable. I have never had any issues with the car and love the interior of it. The car also comes with Bluetooth, good speakers, and a digital console.

Features are over problems.
Blind spot monitor, rear view camera, cross-traffic alert, sunroof, heated and cooling front seats, push to start, power seats, nice trunk space, different drive modes, had to replace the transmission upon purchase. Features seem to outweigh the problems.
