I love my forte! Smooth ride, handles well, and has excellent safety features.
I love my forte. It gets great gas mileage, handles well, has excellent safety features, it is a smooth ride with comfortable seating and great pickup. I also love the apple car play feature that allows me to listen to my playlists and podcasts. I am so happy with my Kia forte!

Smooth ride, great design!
I have had no issues with my vehicle. I love the backup camera, the touch screen is great and very user accessible. The sleek interior is beautiful. The drive is very smooth and the fuel efficiency is great. I easily get 40 miles to the gallon when driving on a road trip on the highway. I love the ability to switch into sport mode.

The outstanding Kia forte.
The vehicle has no problems and the performance of the vehicle is outstanding. It has all the features one would expect on a much more expensive vehicle. It has excellent fuel mileage for a gas powered engine. It has a very comfortable ride for a vehicle in its price range. The vehicle is extremely reliable. It has to be one of the best vehicle purchases I have ever made hands down.

Sparkle blue Kia forte car.
I have no problems whatsoever with my car. It is very reliable. It provided great comfort. The performance is excellent. The best choice I ever made when it comes to a vehicle. I recommend this car to anyone. Haven't had any problems thus far. Kia forte is a magnificent car.

Great car and affordable price.
Car has amazing mileage. One tank is roughly 500 miles! Apple CarPlay is the greatest thing to ever happen to cars, never a need for a phone caddy ever again! Car runs smoothly but due to its size and weight is affected by wind. Auto lights are a savior.

Lane departure is a very big help if you have trouble staying in your lane.
It is very safe. The lane departure is a big help. It's good on gas. The overall performance of the car is incredible. It suggests if you are sleepy then you should consider a break. When approaching a stopped car that you are unaware of it automatically shifts the car down to catch your attention while flashing a warning on the led screen.
Danielle D
on May 31, 2021
Love everything about it!
I love my car, no problem with performance, reliability or features.. Drives smooth and feel super comfortable driving. I didn't like driving until I drove this car, it always felt like a chore, not anymore! I do not think I can say enough good things, and definitely no cons.

Roomy and spacious; the Kia forte.
I suggest this vehicle because it is roomy and spacious. It is good on gas which I love. It is clean and sleek, and is very up to date for being a Kia. I have had no problems with my vehicle and I have had it for a year and a half now. Kia is not an expensive brand but it makes high end quality cars.
Joseph D
on May 23, 2021
Sporty and handles well in the turns.
Above 80 the car drifts a little. The fuel economy is well below sticker advertisements. I had a misfire in cylinder 3 within the first 400 miles. The dealership wrecked it and took months to fix it even after returning it to me “fixed” 3 times. I have never felt good in the car.
Judy G
on May 17, 2021
I love vehicle it keeps me safe.
It's great it gives me alert when it's unsafe to turn lanes. It tells me to consider taking a break when I go fast over 75 miles. It also tells me when I am not looking and the person in front suddenly brakes it will tell me auto collision warning and automatically breaks.
Christina C
on May 16, 2021
Great car with only minimal problems regarding apple carplay.
The only problems that I have had are out of the radio, and that is only when it is connected to apple carplay. At some times, the screen display goes completely black. Otherwise, there have been no issues as far as performance of the car. Overall, I am pleased with the car and the comfort it provides.
Jeffrey M
on May 11, 2021
Kia forte s a special car.
Have not had any problems so far it runs great has the pick up in the engine I like the touch screen is easy to read. The lane assist is a great feature. The anti collision feature is great I just love driving it not much more to say would recommend it to anyone.
Fraschell J
on May 10, 2021
My black diamond and why I love her.
I do not have any problems with my vehicle, it is good on gas and it fast. I also love the clear sit up screen and the air/heat works wonderfully. The seats are extremely comfortable as well as the steering wheel. The only downside for my car in my opinion is the lack of space in the backseat. The trunk is very spacious and I love how the seats in the back come down to be able to put things through the trunk.
Daniel S
on May 9, 2021
My Kia forte lxs is awesome.
My Kia has wonderful performance handles beautifully and the interior features are excellent and easy to use. I love the touch screen display and back up camera has a very wide view which makes it much easier to use reliably when backing up. The lane departure warning and drive assist also make it very easy to drive.
Erica G
on May 7, 2021
Get all the bang for your buck.
The car is very good on gas and it does not take a lot to fill it up. It is a smooth ride and will notify you of low tires and lane assistance. It also has a Bluetooth connection or apple CarPlay/android play. There is a ton of trunk space and interior space without feeling like it is a large car. I love it!
Jae S
on April 28, 2021
The Kia forte is a family vehicle.
Great on gas mileage. My wife and I drove from here to Mississippi with only one stop. The tread on the tires are great also. The weather changed from time to time while driving there and the tires didn't hydroplane at all. The car drives smoothly as well. Whenever my son is inside he goes right to sleep, no matter how short of a distance we drive.
Collin W
on April 27, 2021
The Kia forte is a strong option to be considered in new car purchases.
The car is very smooth and secure. When on the highway it can handle at high speeds and in the city you can activate eco mode and improve on gas mileage. Overall this car is very good and I would recommend it as a first or second car. The only issue I had was a problem with the automatic window.
Camden W
on April 27, 2021
Kia forte is great family car.
So far I do not have any problems. The car rides really smooth and I get great gas mileage. It is easy for my son to get in and out of and makes for a great family car. Highly recommend this vehicle for anyone looking for something not too expensive but still really nice.
Brooke G
on April 24, 2021
The Kia is a fairly good vehicle, would recommend for gas mileage.
The vehicle is very reliable. The gas mileage is great so I use it for my hourly commute to college. It can become small when in the car for a long time, but other than that it is fairly comfortable. The interior is sleek and of modern design. It is nice to drive but if you are a big person it could be too small to be comfortable. Overall, it is a fairly nice vehicle and it gets the job done. The body work on it is eye catching too, it is almost a little sporty. It can accelerate fairly quickly and the brakes are pretty good. The sound system is nice but you will not be able to blast music super loud if that is what you are in to. You can connect via Bluetooth and a charging cord. It displays navigation on the center screen which is nice, so you can just use google maps or waze on your phone. It lets you play music while you do this too.
Ilena A
on April 20, 2021
Amazing how it drives and gas efficient.
Car is great on gas, super somewhat roomy. I can fit 3 car seats in the back. I love the safety features that it has. Kia now does not provide a spare tire so be aware of that I think that is the only issue I have with the car. Easy to maintain and drives smooth.
Hannah S
on April 15, 2021
Backup camera, lane assist, large screen display, apple CarPlay, navigation.
Best car I have ever had! The special features on this car really make it stand out, and a quality car. I love the large screen display on the dashboard because I am able to see what I am doing, and directions are much more clear and easier to see. This car also features lane assist and a back-up camera, which is really convenient.

Kia forte 2019:recommend to those with small families; who are looking to save $.
The Kia forte 2019, is an extremely reliable vehicle. I have never had an issue with it, for the past year and a half that I have had it. The seats and overall cab of the car, I find to be comfortable & sufficient for a small family. The most impressive feature though is the gas mileage. I spend maybe $30 on gas per month. I commute 5 days a week to work, so I find this feature to be a huge money saver. You also do not have to have frequent oil changes, however oil changes can be pricey for any extra maintenance/services needing rendered on the vehicle.
Meebs C
on April 11, 2021
It is blue and has a little orange stripe on the side that is so cute.
It does not come with an extra tire or at least the Kia place I got it from did not include the extra tire. This may be because it is leased. There is also a recall on one of the parts that is used to make this model but I do not feel unsafe in it or while I am driving somewhere.
richard A
on April 8, 2021
Very great car with amazing abilities.
The car is great speed. It has a lot of space for. My dogs to travel I as well. The trunk space also allows us to bring all our necessities when we go camping or walking. We love to be adventurous and this car helps us with. Love it so much because it meets all our needs and desires for our vacations.
Jonathan P
on April 8, 2021
A great car for a great price.
Purchased this car about one year ago and so far no problems. Runs smoothly and quietly. Gets an average of 30 miles per gallon. Interior is comfortable and modern with great features. Overall a great purchase with a great price tag considering what you are getting.
Angela M
on April 8, 2021
Kia forte- good for a cheap car.
The body is cheaply made-easily scratches and shows all imperfections, no Sirius XM radio, gas tank overflows when pumping gas, one month in I had to take it in because the front light went out. The purchasing process was awful-so long, hidden fees, 'gave me' an electric starter that was installed and messed up electrics so when I lock my car it starts.
Vanessa T
on April 7, 2021
Why the Kia forte is amazing.
I personally have not had any problems with my Kia forte. What I really love about the car is it is a safe car and has an abundant amount of safety features that makes me feel much more safe and confident while driving on the road. The seats are super comfortable and it is spacious for being a compact car and there’s a lot of trunk space as well. It drives very smooth and is very eco-friendly on the gas mileage because it only takes me about 16 bucks to fill up and I get around 380 to 410 miles each time.
LeeAnn A
on April 5, 2021
Very impressed with the Kia forte.
This is a luxury vehicle without a luxury price tag. It comes with all the bells and whistles. Great comfort, heating and cooling of the front seat feature. Blind spot sensor. Lane keep assist and the list goes on and on for these types of features. It feels like a solid vehicle on the road. And am very impressed with this car!
Hilary W

Upgrading to my 2019 Kia forte.
I didn't know how badly I needed this new vehicle until I was driving it around. I knew I was missing cruise control, but I the other added features such as Bluetooth connection, and the back up camera have already made such a difference in my driving experience. The car is the perfect size for navigating crowded parking lots, and zipping through traffic. The seat is also very comfortable, and that is coming from someone who is often making a commute of a little under an hour to get to work. I spend a lot of time in my car, and although I haven't had it too long, this one has impressed me thus far.
Laura M
on March 22, 2021
Excellent vehicle at an affordable price.
No problems at all! Drives great! Lane assist and collision warning are great features. Seats are comfortable and vehicle is very spacious. Controls are easy to use. Excellent sound system and come in a variety of sharp eye catching colors. I highly recommend this car!

2019 Kia forte review - great car.
This car is very enjoyable. I have had this car for just over a year now and it runs very well. It has many new features and it also looks very good too, inside and out. It is very comfortable. The only problem I have with it is that there are no seat warmers, which is only a problem during the winter.
Andrew N
on March 19, 2021
Kia FORTE ROCKS! Very reliable, easy, great gas mileage, awesome features,
Vehicle is very comfortable. Has extras like Apple carplay, backup camera, voice to text all very good to have. It has four doors and an awesome amount of trunk space. The driving features include a normal, smart and sport driving mode that are handy for the situations of driving that I do. Keeping the car clean is a breeze because of the floor mats that were included with the car as well as the overall size isn't too big but comfortable for me to take trips in it. The gas mileage on the Forte is also a winner as it gets over 30 miles to a gallon highway miles and 26 city mileage.
Bryttany W
on March 16, 2021
From a jeep to a blue Kia!
I love my car it has 3 different driving modes for normal sport and smart. It has good speed. The features are nice such as back up camera and lane keep assistance. The trunk is huge! The only downside is that it does not have remote start. It also has welcome and goodbye music that I enjoy (though it is small I enjoy having it).
Starla S
on March 14, 2021
Kia forte is for me because of certain fixtures.
I love my Kia forte, the best part about it, is the gas mileage. It gets between 35- 40 gallons a mile. A full tank is over 400 miles. The 2nd thing I enjoy is the backup camera. I can see what is behind me without bumping into anything, also it has front bumper collision warning to avoid head on crashes.
Grace K
on March 11, 2021
I love the sleek and simple look of the car. Modern in a good way.
Good transmission, great gas mileage, awesome screen and modern interior, 3 modes to drive in. Eco sport and normal, if you drive in sport too much it might hurt the car I think. But when you drive eco it uses less gas. The heat and cooling is in degrees Fahrenheit so that is also a plus.
Tammy S
on March 10, 2021
Another great feature is the drive modes, smart, normal and sport.
I love my new car. It is just the right size and it has tons of trunk space and roomy inside as well. It drives smoothly. It has great features. The blue color is beautiful and the style is sporty. It is awesome on gas. If you have an iPhone you can pair it with the car and it has CarPlay as well which is great so you can play all your music.
Sara P
on March 6, 2021
If you go in reverse, the music will automatically turn down. It helps w focus.
I love this car. One of the best things about it is the safety features in the car. It feels like it is really working overtime to make sure I am safe as well as the car its. The sound system is fantastic. I always turn the music up loudly with the bass and it sounds so clear in the car. The actually driving is so smooth. It is so slick and easy to drive.
Janet P
on March 6, 2021
Best car! Has touchscreen, CarPlay, and Bluetooth.
I love my car!! I do sometimes wish that my car would have had the blinkers that show you when cars are in your blindspot, just for safety reasons. I also wish there was back windshield wipers for the winter days or when it is raining in general, that would definitely make it easier.
Alejandro C
on March 5, 2021
It is the perfect car for a young professional such as myself.
It has been incredible. Great gas mileage! It is always a smooth ride. The Bluetooth features is always a plus. The car has 3 driving features in normal, sports, and eco that truly make the car standout. The model of the car is different from other forces in the sense it gives it a more sporty vibe which I love.
Sam G
on March 3, 2021
Love my Kia forte - best car I have driven.
Comfortable and cute car. After one year no major maintenance issues. Love the backup camera and safety features. Fuel efficient. Good size - big enough to feel safe but still compact and easy to drive. Would buy again and would recommend to others.
Shawn P
on March 2, 2021
It has sport which makes it where you can really feel a difference.
The android auto can sometimes disconnect randomly, you can't adjust the site so its uncomfortable for long drives, brake assist overheats at night, then lost the audio is not sync with videos.. Other than that the car is perfect it drives good really fun in sport, it comes with numerous helpful features like lane assist, cruise control, android auto and more.

2019 Kia forte review/description.
Before buying this car I had a 2009 Kia optima. I loved that car, but she had issues. I upgraded to the 2019 forte and am very happy with it! The car itself is beautiful with a back up camera, apple carplay, Bluetooth, lane departure and a lot more! The car drives so smooth and is so easy to handle.
Chas K
on February 28, 2021
The Forte has a feature that keeps you centered on the road
I love my Kia Forte. I had a Kia before my forte as well. The warranty is amazing and the gas mileage is the best. I do wish there was a rear windshield wiper however that is the only complaint I have. The sports mode might be the best feature. I will forever drive a Kia.
Gina M
on February 27, 2021
Overall the vehicle handles well. Love the sporty look of the car.
Has all the bells and whistles without the high price. Air conditioning went out right after the warranty was up. Cruise control, power windows, apple app. Sporty look to it. Drives smooth, has folding back seats, a rear view camera, fog lights. Fits 5 people.
Mike N
on February 25, 2021
A fresh look at Kia: my forte.
Have yet to have an issue with the vehicle. I love the style, comfort, and standard features. Bluetooth, back-up camera, active front end collision avoidance, and android auto/apple carplay are all fantastic features. Kia also has the best warranties out there.
Morgan I
on February 22, 2021
Brand new shiny car that first time car owners will absolutely love.
There’s no problems. It is a five seat car. CarPlay. Black seats suede. New tires. 15,000 miles and only one owner. Clean. Shiny red exterior. Emergency brake. No cup holder in the back middle. Only cup holders are in the doors and middle console. Black interior. Touch screen. New black floor mats.
Kathy H
on February 22, 2021
Kia forte is a great daily driver!
I really enjoy this vehicle for my daily drive. It gets great gas mileage at about 40-45 miles per gallon and handles the road well. The ride is smooth and relatively quiet. It has enough power to get the job done if I need to pass another vehicle.
Brandon D
on February 22, 2021
This car is just an amazing piece of my everyday life,
This car offers a smooth ride with excellent gas mileage. The Kia forte s has multiple drive modes that allow you to adjust the car to the way you drive. It also has amazing safety features such as lka(lane keep assist), that reads the lines and helps stay between then and allows you to know when you cross over, forward collision warning, and full carbon airbags.
Katie B
on February 21, 2021
Kia forte: road trips? Yes please.
It drives very smooth. There are many features including apple CarPlay. All you do is plug your phone into the USB and it projects onto the screen located on the dash. It is amazing on gas. I always take road trips with my friends, and I have never had a problem.
Brittany W
on February 20, 2021
Trustworthy and comfortable.
I love my Kia forte. The color is current red and it has kind of a sparkle to it when the sun hits it. I love the touch screen radio. The screen is also used for the backup camera. Large display. It also has a forward facing camera that is used for the forward collision assist that helps you brake if you get too close to something. And also lane keep assist. I have had no problems with this vehicle in the year that I have had it.
Rebekkah S
on February 18, 2021
The best and perfect small car.
My favorite feature is the apple CarPlay. I also love the touchscreen. I also like how I can change the drive mode of the car and the feature that helps keep you in your lane. I like that the speedometer is digital. I find the car to be very roomy and has good trunk space.
Kit K
on February 13, 2021
Reliable and affordable sedan.
The car is very reliable. The lane keep assist is very accurate. The steering wheel controls are intuitive. Everything about the car is pretty standard. The downside is that there is no cabin air filter so all the smells from the outside come in and it is very loud in the cabin.
Amanda M
on February 12, 2021
Great car, good on gas, luxury feel.
Great on gas, safety features are awesome, comfortable for a small sedan, allows apple play, big trunk fits all of my kids scooters and hoverboards along with my all my groceries. Dash display gives you a luxury feel. Body of the car is sleek and minimal. Smooth drive. Overall great buy.

Kia forte 2019 review by you boy. Hope this helps someone.
Very comfortable, I don't really have any issues with it, I leased it two years ago and have been good with oil changes so no problems as far as that. Quiet ride with little bumps and I am a big fan of the car. I would buy it again if I was given the chance.
Danielle G
on February 9, 2021
It can go into sport mode or eco mode.
Very reliable and comfortable to drive with many safety features and great gas mileage. It also has lane departure warnings and collision warnings when it is foggy outside. Definitely recommend for a first car or a family car due to its great safety ratings.

2019 Kia forte: normal driving mode, smart mode, or sports mode.
I currently own a 2019 Kia forte and I have been extremely content with this car. So far, I haven't had any issues with it. This model gives you a large screen and CarPlay is included, which comes very handy when syncing maps with your car. The seats are comfortable and the sports drive makes driving on the freeway more fun. The Kia forte comes with 3 driving features: normal, smart, and sports mode. All in which you can switch and control in one click of a button.
Mackenzie R
on February 4, 2021
The best family car ever!!
My family loves this car it's so reliable and super roomie. We couldn't ask for a better car. We use GPS all the time so the screen placed in the middle of the dashboard with GPS capabilities comes in super handy. The trunk has a ton of room and with the ability to fold the seats down makes it that more amazing.
Alex M
on February 3, 2021
Pretty close to perfect, not much to complain about.
I haven't had any problems with the performance. It drives smoothly, and features such as the touch display with apple CarPlay is very helpful. The dashboard is a little high for short people, so I have to use a seat cushion to boost myself up. The trunk is a good size as well.
Ivan Smith

Transmission Failure
I bought a 2109 EX and right at the 2000 km mark the transmission packed it in, no new transmission available for replacement because they told me the car was too new, how the hell!!
Audra B
on February 2, 2021
Shay had every feature I want!
I love my Kia. I've only had her since February but she is a dream. For the first time I have automatic locks and windows, steering wheel controls, and separate temps for different sides of the car. It does not include a CD player or XM radio but I don't use those anyway. It does have Bluetooth so that's really all you need. I also love the smooth ride and big seats. There is no feeling tighter squeezed in.
Taylor L
on January 29, 2021
Kia forte is a great choice for a new car.
The car drives super smooth and has 3 modes, sport, smart, and normal. The smart mode adjusts to your driving habits and gets used to the way that you drive. I haven't had any major problems with it yet. The screen in the car is very clear and a good size.
Lance L
on January 28, 2021
Incredible car and it's wonderful features.
It is the love of my life and gas mileage is unbelievable. I love the way it feels when I drive it on the road especially the freeway. This car has been my dream car and I wouldn't have asked for it any other way. The Kia is safe, convenient, easy to ride, and fun.
Nick M
on January 25, 2021
Kia forte is a great purchase.
The 2019 Kia forte is a great mid sized sedan. Awesome technological features, interactive touchscreen display makes for easy navigation. A ton of trunk space as well as a spacious interior of the vehicle. I highly recommend anyone looking for a safe and reliable sedan to purchase the Kia forte.
anne M
on January 23, 2021
Comfort features win out over road noise.
The only 'bad' thing about my Kia forte is that the road noise is pretty loud. I have to really turn up the radio sometimes to hear it over the sound of the tires on the road. I really love the comfort of the car and everything is so modern and nice. It has great features like dual comfort zones on the heater/air conditioner. The back up camera really helps too.
Jarrett L
on January 23, 2021
Pros/cons of the 2019 Kia forte ex launch edition.
Very reliable, I love the smart cruise control as well as lane keeping assist. Fuel economy is great! I love all the interior features such as heated seats, adjustable seats and premium sound system. Very comfortable seats! I do wish the lane keeping assist was a bit smoother and not so jerky at times, otherwise no complaints.
Betty G
on January 21, 2021
Afraid now
I loved my new car until the steering wheel began growling at me! Took it into Kia they refused to let me drive the car as it is unsafe to drive! It needed a new steering column! Its only 13 months old!!! I'm a 60 yr old single woman and I drive 70 miles a day for work. Now I'm afraid to drive my car! I called Kia corporate and they asked what I want Kia to do about it!!! Not a happy customer now....
Maribeth S
on January 18, 2021
A lot of good and bad, do your research.
I love the lane assist and rear end collision warning. I do not like that there is no cup holder in the back seat or pull out on the dash. Great sound system. Air conditioner does not reach back of car. The paint scratches easily. Has a huge trunk. Sound system only connects to android and not apple phones.
Alexis M
on January 15, 2021
My vehicle is a small black 4 door with cloth seats.
My only problem with this vehicle was that the lift to pop the trunk had malfunctioned after owning the car for less than a month. Other than that the car is great and has no other issues. I would highly recommend this car to other people. The seats are comfortable.
Hannah T
on January 15, 2021
You get what you pay for.
This is not a car I would recommend for purchase. It lever to open the trunk sticks often. The sensor in the fuel tank is faulty. It does not matter how many times you bring the car in for these issues, Kia says they've heard of these problems but it is fine. The anti braking system sounds great in theory but any little thing in front of the car and it is hitting the breaks for you. It is a low priced car so I suppose you get what you pay for.
Lafaye W
on January 12, 2021
I highlighted everything in the last question. The best car I have even driven.
No problems. Everything works completely fine. I am satisfy with this vehicle. It gets me from point a to point b even c. It is not a gas guzzler. Buttons and seat adjustments work fine. It is roomy and blows out nice air and heat. Plus it comes with different driving modes and built in GPS navigation system and smart play. I love the car.
Raymond T
on January 9, 2021
Why you should get a 2019 Kia forte.
The car is great, it has great performance, good gas mileage, and (my favorite)sport mode. Sunroof is a nice feature and it is very spacious in the back seats. Also has a good size trunk. It does not take a lot of money to fill the tank and you can go almost 450 miles on a full tank of gas.
Jessica D
on January 8, 2021
The best switch I have made!
I went from having a jeep wrangler to this car, and I couldn't be happier. Not only did I obviously lower my overall gas cost, but I definitely gave myself a much safer upgrade. She rides incredible smooth, the speakers work great, and there are so many different gadgets and features. I think this car has permanently made me a Kia person.
Macee Martinez
on January 8, 2021
I have had so many problems
I purchased a brand new 2019 Kia Forte S. I love everything about this car with the exception of the weak AC. I also have a warranty on the car that i purchased with KIA in Lawrence Kansas. Lawrence KIA refuses to replace my AC that broke in April 2020, less than a year after purchase.
Rosemarie C
on January 7, 2021
Love the large screen for backup and directions.
The car is very fun to drive as it has 3 different drive modes. The safety features were a very big selling point to me. The seats are comfortable and I absolutely love the hands free. The back up camera is awesome as well as the maps on screen during driving directions which also include the speed limit and red light camera warning. The only issue I have had is my transmission went out at 47,000 miles.
Serenity A
on January 6, 2021
Great for young adults! Great speakers and sort of fancy.
The #1 problem I have with my vehicle is that it does not pick up speed. I wouldn't suggest pulling out in front of anybody at anytime, but definitely not with this vehicle. I appreciate the lame assistance, car play, and the look of the car. It is a pretty fancy, affordable vehicle and I haven't made any complaint to where I would want to replace it. I enjoy loud speakers, and although they are not the loudest, I am sure everyone in the vicinity can hear the lyrics whatever song you are listening too. Still a great car! Especially for young adults.
Morgan F
on December 25, 2020
2019 Kia forte: reliable and safe.
The only issue is the lever for opening the trunk inside the vehicle sometimes does not work. Other than that, the car is very reliable and handles well, especially on winter roads. I love the technology (including the auto high beam headlights) and the large touch screen panel, as well as apple CarPlay. The safety features, specifically the lane departure, makes me feel comfortable when driving.
Federico V
on December 23, 2020
The best small size sedan you need right now.
The vehicle is very comfortable overall. Has all the amenities and whistles out can have. Kia did stepped up their game with this vehicle. With the new in-house transmission they developed the vehicle can easily reach over 35 miles per gallon. It has a great infotainment system and even the most basic model comes with android auto & apple carplay connectivity. It hay to safety scores on crash reports and it does feel very stable on the highway at high speeds.

If you are looking for a reliable car this is the car for you.
One reason I love my Kia is because I can go weeks without having to fill up my gas tanks. I have had it for over a year now and I have had no problems. It is a very smooth drive, and it also has lane assist so it assist the car as I am driving. Best car I have bought!

Its solid for sure, but not phenomenal by any means.
The handling and performance are solid considering its a Kia. I get about 35 mpg combined which is helpful because I live in the city. The sound system is average at best and the cruise control lags a few seconds before kicking in which is a little frustrating at times. I haven't had any major issues with it yet at 30k miles so far.

2019 Kia forte, deep blue in color.
I overall like my vehicle, though in the short time I have had it the transmission has had to be replaced and there was a clogged ac duct. It gets good gas mileage and handles well in winter in Wisconsin. My vehicle is comfortable to drive and has ample truck space.

The tech features are hands down my favorite part about my car.
I do not have any issues with my car. It is great on gas, has lots of great features like Bluetooth, a large touch screen, and charging outlets. The sound system in this car is also great! I also love how it has lots of trunk space and a good size back seat.

My Kia forte. It should have a few more bells and whistles for the price!
I love the look of it but it's just a basic vehicle. No power seats... And it doesn't have fast take off. I think it would be a great starter vehicle for a first time driver or college students. I've had no major issues with the vehicle. The pros are the automatic braking system and the in dash screen.

Kia forte runs smoothly with great gas mileage.
Love the Kia forte. The car has a screen that you can use a GPS on. It is simple to connect your phone through Bluetooth. The performance and comfort of the car is phenomenal. The car drives smooth and has very good gas mileage. The car fits 4 people in comfortably. There is room for a 5th person or a dog.

It has Bluetooth that connects not only to my music but to my calls as well.
It is a great working car it can get me to where I need to go it has three driving modes.Eco, smart, and sport and it is affordable. It has a touch screen dashboard Bluetooth for music and calls. It also has hands free mode too so you do not get distracted on the road.

My touchscreen radio is the best. I love the Bluetooth and the large GPS maps.
My car has very smart features such as the lane control. I love the air control, where I can be in the passenger seat with the heat on and the driver can have the a/c on. I also love my touch screen radio, it is very efficient with GPS. My car is very comfortable, the seating is roomy, but yet a nice confined space.

I love my Kia! A few little hiccups but a great car at a fantastic price.
I really do like my car but lately I have had a few problems with it. I do not know if the car did this from the beginning and maybe I didn't notice but my safety feature, the car is supposed to brake when I am too close to the vehicle in front of me, does not work. Another problem I just recently had is when I am on the interstate and go to pass, I press down on the accelerator but the speed stays the same. I am hoping when I take it in next week for an oil change they will be able to fix it.

Nice and safe. 2019 Kia forte review.
Feels very safe to drive. Lots of safety features such as lane assistance, and lane alert for swerving. The reverse camera is nice and clear. The touchscreen media screen in the center of the dash and nice and big to display apple car play when your phone is connected. You can easily switch between your music, phone calls, or maps to help you be hands free and not reach for your phone.

Built in apple and android car play.
The car is very reliable, it get the job done. Generally comfortable, driving is good especially in long drive. No issues so far since purchased. I really like the infotainment with big screen because most of time I am using google map while travelling. Good for singles and for small family.

The ultimate family car!!
I bought my car about a year ago and I love it! The gas mileage on it averages around 35-40 mpg. It is not the best for long distance but it is up there in the list in my opinion. I have had no issue with the performance since I have had it. The car drives really smoothly and is an overall good family car in my opinion with still offering a sporty look!

2019 white Kia forte: pros and cons.
It has amazing gas mileage and cost to fill up is relatively low. Both the interior and exterior are very sleek. It is a very reliable car. Although it is a smaller sized sedan, the inside does not feel cramped at all. It has a very nice black cloth interior, which can get a little hot in warmer weather.

What I like and do not like about our three cars.
I am older and getting into and out of the forte is difficult. The jeep is mine and I like better, but I do not drive much and hubby prefers his Kia. The ford truck is much older than the others and has served us long and well. Much appreciated for it service transporting drums for middle school. Drums.

Things I love about 2019 Kia forte lxs.
This car has several safety features that I have never had before, as in lane monitoring; and it does offer the non-skid which I have had in a previous Kia before. It has a smooth ride and is very comfortable–the seats and temperature controls. I was initially concerned that it didn't have a rear window wiper, but the defrost works so well it has not been an issue. It is also very fun to drive and has nice acceleration.

Kia forte 2019 car review.
I love this vehicle. Had it for a year and haven't had any problems with it yet. The car literally can drive itself if you get too close to somebody or something and move over into another lane. The company is very understanding when doing oil changes and fixing any problems you have.

Sleek and comfortable vehicle!
A very comfortable car! Always feels super easy to drive and has stayed very smooth over the past year. Great mileage and is super reliable. Also love the sleekness of both the exterior and interior. Not a super huge car, but doesn't feel cramped or uncomfortable.

My 2019 Kia forte is amazing! No issues whatsoever, the car is top notch.
(2019 Kia forte) my car is the best thing I've ever made a big purchase on. Performance, reliability, and comfort is top notch. Features are 4/5 (no heated seats, heated steering wheel, etc. But also was not in the budget when I first bought it). I have had my car for almost a year now and have had no issues whatsoever - from driving cross country to short drives down the street.

Love my Kia forte - great car for great value.
I love my Kia forte - I had a Kia optima previously and was looking for something smaller. The CarPlay connect to my iPhone is awesome, I can use all my favorite apps directly on the touchscreen display. Would definitely recommend Kia to anyone I know looking to buy a new vehicle.

The top highlight is the entertainment features.
I have had no vehicle problems since leasing my Kia forte. It has been very reliable and comfortable and easy to drive. All the features are top quality and the screen is big enough to navigate and use. It has apple carplay so all you have to do is connect your phone through the USB and you phone is on the screen. This far is extremely safe and I will continue with this make and model for as long as they keep making it.

I really like my new 2019 Kia forte.
I have only had my car since September but I really like my car. The gas mileage is great, I honestly like the features they have in my car. This is my first car with a screen but I like where they have the screen. It is very roomy for my girls and I, and even when I have 2 other people and the car is full they are not squished, plenty of room. The only thing I do not like in this specific model is there is no cup holders in the back, and no arm rest in the middle. There is cup holders in the door but that is not good for kids. Overall I like my car.
