Best car

This car is one of the best I’ve driven. I have never had to have anything but the minimum, oil change, filters, windshield washer blades! It has over 100000 mil land still drives like new. It’s fun to drive and extremely reliable

I'm a fan

I bought this car the day before Thanksgiving and 2019 and I haven't had too many major issues with it. Of course, the car was used but the repairs that I've had to make is what it should be expected over time. I am not currently having engine problems, but I've been told there's a slight knocking sound because of oil that was used in the past. There's been a few minor issues that's electrical but they have since been fixed. The interior is still intact. I keep up with my oil changes and Air filters. I don't think there's anything bad that I can say about my car. It was in great running condition when I got it. I had to have some work done to the O-ring for the air conditioner. I just have to keep up with the normal maintenance.

Surprised

Got this on a trading deal for fun and was extremely impressed. 260k on it and runs like new. It's a family crutch car now I replaced aĺ the small things on it and will keep it till it dies. Pcv valve is a must at any given time so I keep one in glove box. But overall we love it

Beat economy vehicle I've ever owned.

The 2010 Kia Forte EX has been the best economy vehicle for me to get around and even doy job with. At about 150,000 miles, the common issues did arise, such as the alternator, but did not surprise me in the least. The mileage is wonderful and the upkeep is reasonable. Only issue is that it really isn't designed for the northern states winters. Very light and the traction control is a little bit more of a nuisance. If you have weight in the trunk to prevent fishtailing and good winter tires, it will get you around alright.

Dependable

Aside from being involved in a couple accidents, this vehicle has been very solid. Only experienced 2 issues of major concern, one resolved the other pending decision to resolve, however I have been very pleased with my Kia.

I love it. It is great on gas. If and when I I afford a new car I would buy another Kia. It is well build and very reliable. I am very pleased with it. I got it three years ago. I am very satisfied with my vehicle.

Safe Reliable Repairs

With this car having been in the family for nearly fifteen years the reliability and consistency have become expected counted upon. The repairs in the three years its has been under my stewardship are not unreasonable but keep with the expectations of Kia owners and repair shops. Short trips, road trips, winter driving, and hazardous conditions are all encompassed in my Kia's lifespan in which it has responded and driven saftely and comfortably exceedingly expectations.

Dependable car for work and general transportation

I have had some minor problems with the maintenance in. the past but ironically the gas mileage is better now than it was at 70,000 miles . I have 124,000 miles now and plan to get at least another 100,000 to get my monies worth although this may not be typical with good prevetive maintenance it is very possible.

2010 Kia Forte EX

I am completely satisfied with my vehicle. It replaces a 2003 Kia Spectra, which was totaled during a torrential downpour last May when it hydroplaned, spun out and ended up lengthwise against the center median on I-75. When searching for a replacement vehicle, this one won my immediate approval because it "fits" me exactly the way the Spectra did, and it's like driving an old friend.

Smooth Ride

It's a pretty sleek vehicle that has fully loaded features including satellite radio and you can talk through your car after setting up the bluetooth. It also has some get up and go to it with good handling and it's also very smooth to drive. Not a perfect car, but very close.

Has been great.

For the price, i am pleased with what I've gotten. The Forte was inexpensive compared to other comparable cars/makes. It has a lot of spunk, mileage is decent and repairs have been cheap so far (45,000). You get what you pay for, of course. They are inexpensive and they are made cheaply. I think they require "kid glove" treatment, but if you are willing to do that--you get a good car for the money.

2016 Kia Forte

We currently own a 2010 Forte and it has been trouble free for the 100,000 miles we now have on the car, so when we test drove the 2016 model were impressed with the style, handling and ride. We have now purchased a vehicle that we had total comfort in, the warranty is best in the business, the staff were a big help in the whole process of purchasing a new vehicle. We continue to sell the Kia brand and the Mankato site to purchase a car to our friends,family, and co-workers.
