2020 Kia Forte Reviews

In 2020, a rock ended up cracking my windshield. Well, because the windshield had a fixed-in camera and technology, paying for a Safelite person to come and fix it wasnt possible. I had to drive to the Safelite building to have it replaced. I then had to drive back to the dealer to "recalibrate" the camera in the windshield. After that, it was pretty smooth sailing until just about a week ago in early September 2021, my Forte displayed a "check engine" light as I was leaving my house. The entire car started rumbling and shaking whenever I accelerated. I had to turn around, and head home. I turned the car off and on again, which seemed to fix the problem. This meant that it was likely an electrical problem. For a brand new Kia Forte 2020 with 12,000 miles on it. Then, this week, I noticed that the letter "F" on my Forte has fallen off. Must be that Kia quality. And today, my air conditioner completely stopped working. So, I am on a two year lease with a brand new Kia Forte 2020 that has 12,000 miles on it that has electrical problems, expensive and time consuming windshield repairs, cheap build quality with letters falling off, and a broken air conditioner. If those arent red flags, I dont know what are. I will never be doing business with Kia again, despite my general enjoyment driving their vehicles. That means nothing when a brand new car is breaking down 2 years later.

Wanted something quick, luxuryish, and reliable with a 6 speed manual. The Forte GT is the best car if you want those especially for the price. I simply cannot find any good competition. Anything nicer is substantially more expensive and anything comparable in price is far below it. The manual shifter is nice, notchy but not too notchy. You can disable all traction and stability control. Everything that is usually electric that SHOULD be hydraulic is hydraulic (steering for example). Ride is stiff yet comfortable, seats are fantastic. Handling is phenomenal. The android auto works perfectly and I much prefer it to a dedicated infotainment system, as maps will always be up to date. The exhaust isn't loud, but is nice for a stock car. I love everything about this car. I don't have a single complaint. Everything I've found to complain about has a built in solution. For example, I was disappointed that opening the mirror on the visor doesn't turn the light on, it's on a switch. However, when you turn the light switch on, closing the visor will press the button into the off position again. I didn't like the welcome jingle but you can easily turn it off. Every annoyance is removable. This car is truly wonderful. It will be a future cult classic.

My key is absolutely amazing. It is super roomy and amazing on gas mileage. I am able to drive on a road trip with my husband, my daughter who’s in a car seat, and our 40 pound dog. All while having all our luggage fitting in the trunk which gives us a lot of room in the vehicle itself. The seats are super comfortable and having apple play is an amazing feature. It also has a charging dock station that you just lay your phone on and it will charge for you.

The newer Kia forte's have an exquisite body structure now, they are more angled, and cut edge to suit the times we live in today. I have had absolutely no issues with this car and I love it so much, the performance is outstanding. To be honest, this car has a kick to its step. The power behind this vehicle is immaculate, the seats are so comfortable and the car is perfect for my family and I on long trips. The back has a large space for my dogs, which are larger dogs. The car rides so smooth and to top it all off, has amazing gas mileage, I highly recommend purchasing this amazing vehicle.

I love my new Kia forte! I love how sporty the look is, but that it is still a very spacious car. I have only been driving it for a few months, but the ride is so smooth. The apple carplay feature is also helpful, and I really do feel like it makes me drive more safely! The Lexus is the most basic model, and I would prefer to have heated seats. Another thing I noticed, is that the back of the two front seats do not have any pockets. This is not an issue for me, but it is something to be aware of, as I do not think I have seen a car without them. Overall, a great car!

I love my Kia forte. I previously had a Toyota corolla and had no issues with it, but the forte is even better. It drives so smoothly, transitions between gears seamlessly, and has 3 types of drive (smart, sport, and normal). On average, I get 32 mpg which is amazing. The car looks small but it is really comfortable. It is reliable and safe including forward collision warnings, lane departure signal, and a back up cam. I highly recommend this car.

The vehicle I currently own is a 2020 Kia forte lease. I absolutely love this car! It has three different modes: sport, smart, and normal. The Kia forte is also great on gas and lasts me up to 2 weeks before refilling it. One of my favorite aspects of my Kia is the large touchscreen that you can connect your phone to. The GPS is so big on the screen and so easy to follow. I also like the circular air vents, they add a lot of detail. Two things I wish the car has are heated seats and push start. The car is very safe to drive and has an emergency brake stop and an alert when your driving out of the lane.

I absolutely love my new kia! The upgrades in the gt-line are beyond worth it such as the wireless charger, lane keep assist, flat-bottom steering wheel and harman kardon stereo system. There are very few things I would change about this car. I selected the space gray finish as I felt it was the most sleek and makes the car look more like a luxury vehicle. I forgot to mention that the rims on the gt-line kia forte also resemble that of a more luxury brand such as mercedes. The only thing I would add that is concerning about the vehicle, is that I have only owned it for 4 months and there have already been 3 recalls on parts within the vehicle. That is my only buyer-beware warning otherwise I would highly recommend this car!

I haven't had any problems with my 2020 Kia forte. It has been a reliable car that has exceeded my expectations. It drives smooth and is very comfortable. It is big enough to have my dogs in the car and there is plenty of trunk space for travel. I would totally recommend this car to someone who wants a cheap reliable car. Kia does a great job with their customer service and is always there to assist you with your needs. The dash panel is very nice and easy to use, as well as lane assist and lane changing sensors, backup camera, and many more things I could talk about.

The Kia forte 2020 is not the comfiest of seats. It is fabric and I wish it was more sturdy. There is no back seat drink holders. There’s only two in the middle by the gear shift. Good performance and sensitive brakes. It alarms you when you go over a line and when you get too close to a car. It also will continuously beep if the passenger does not have a seat belt on. It has a huge trunk that can fit so many different things. It is a stylish car and comes in red, blue, black and white. I got my car in white. It has a huge radio that is touch screen. You can get apple car and it connects to your phone Bluetooth and can play music from your phone. It also has answer and end call buttons. It pops up when you have a text message as well.

My Kia forte is the best car I have ever owned. The sound system is incredible!! The seats are comfortable, there are so many features that are just amazing. Like all the controls on the car. The computer in the middle of the car, for GPS, music, Bluetooth. You can customize your features in the menu. The gas mileage is incredible I fill up about every week to 2 weeks depending on how much driving I do. I love it so much and would recommend it to anyone!

My vehicle has had no problems so far! The technology in this car is incredible and makes me feel so safe while driving. I really love the options and settings it has inside. For instance, there is a button you can press that will make a dinging noise if you cross the lines on the road. The car also makes a sing song noise when you get in and get out, it is really cool. Also, whenever I take long road trips, if I haven't taken a break my car will tell me to stop for a coffee break and relax. Overall, I love this car so much and it is a very smooth drive.

I have only owned my Kia for a short period of time but I love it. My previous vehicle was a mustang so I was a little sad going from a sports car to a regular car. After driving it, all of my sadness went away. The 2020 Kia forte is extremely comfortable and drives very smoothly. After 40 miles per hour it will help you take bend and turns so if you doze off it will help you prevent an accident. It beeps when you are too close to a white line, also helping prevent accidents. It accelerates very nicely and does not jerk or take a while to get up to speed. The gas mileage is phenomenal. I live on an island and can usually go 3-4 weeks before having to get gas. I have encountered zero problems with the car. It gives you a 30 day notice of when your car needs an oil change so you have plenty of time to get it done. The interior is very sleek and has a touch screen monitor that is very easy to navigate. The sounds system is crisp and good quality. The backup camera is very clear.

This vehicle is very reliable and includes a multitude of different assets that will satisfy you. It has three different types of drive modes: regular, sport and smart. The sport mode makes a good amount of difference and the car feels a lot quicker when it is in sport mode. Smart mode is really good for daily commuting and does a good job saving gas while you are out and about. The car also includes apple carplay so if you have an apple device you can plug it in via a charge port located on the dash and the HUD for the vehicle will become that of an apple device.

I really enjoy the car and all that it offers. My favorite part of it is the Bluetooth set up. Connects to my phone as soon as I am in the car. The best part is it will read my texts for me and let me reply. I also love how big the screen is makes it easy to see while driving. My maps will pull up on the screen so I do not have to use my phone. It's a little small but I do not mind. It was a little confusing at first when I got it because I am not use to a car with so much technology but I figured it out fast. The name of the music will pop up above the speedometer which was interesting because I never seen it before. I think the biggest thing I don't like is that it doesn't have an automatic start. Other than that love the car.

I really like my Kia forte. It is a comfortable commuter car and gets decent mileage (I travel 60 miles a day for work). My favorite feature is the apple car play - it is so helpful. I use it everyday, it makes listening to music, podcast, and audiobooks simple in the car. And I love that it will read my text messages or let me take calls while I am driving. It is also helpful for GPS because the screen is so large. It is the feature I didn’t know I was looking for or wanted until I had it. I also appreciate the back up cameras and lane assist- small details that make my life easier.

The 2020 Kia forte is a really great car. It is the smoothest driving car I have ever had. With its self driving mode it is a top tier car in modern times. I feel the safest in this car because of all the cool and new features it has. Also the gas mileage it gets is unbelievable. I do not even have to fill up more than once traveling to college and that is 6 hours away. I recommend this car for anyone who travels for work a lot of a small family that wants to feel safe while traveling. Overall I would rate the 2020 Kia forte a 10/10.

I honestly haven't had any problems with it considering it is a new car. The only thing that is happened so far is something but my windshield and now I have to get it replaced but honestly nothing to do with the car itself. The car can go pretty fast it does have sports mode I love all the features that come with the car my favorite is lane control with that the car will keep you in one lane almost driving itself. I also love the big screen it has.

It is pretty good car overall. It is very good on gas and good for traveling. It is actually bigger on the inside than it looks on the outside. Has a good security system and good warning signals when something is malfunctioning or if you are too close to a car. Has a good back up mirror. Does not catch speed as quickly as I would like but once it is up then it rides pretty smooth. Good. Media system with navigation and car apps for ios and android compatible.

It is still new but for the price it performs beautifully and it is super well equipped. I didn't have too many options in my price range (15k-25k) as I was looking for a manual car. The Kia gt was in the middle of my budget, and has all the main features I looked for. The interior does not feel cheap or plasticity. Some of the details in the car rivals luxury cars from a couple years ago which is very nice. Finally, it comes with an unreal warranty which really puts me at ease when it comes to reliability.

I just recently got this vehicle and I highly enjoy it. The gas mileage is very reliable and that was the main component I was looking for in a new car. It has great storage space in the trunk and a great media system built into the car. One of my favorite features is a safety feature in the car. There is an alert system in the car that beeps if you get too close to other cars or if you try to switch lanes and there is another car in your blind spot.
