2012 Forte performance

My car has a leak, I’m told. I don’t know how that happened since I just drive it. I don’t touch the motor/engine. When I press in the gas to speed up, it’s really difficult to accelerate. Side visibility is somewhat challenging because it’s bulky.

2012 KIA FORTE KOUP

I have a 2012 KIA Forte Koup with only 36,500 actual miles. I have taken a few road trips but it is my daily driver. The service guys cannot believe how well taken care of it is. Looks brand new. This is a very dependable car with acceleration power when you need it. NEVER had any problems with this car. I make sure it has routine maintenance as required. Great gas mileage!

Great Car for the Value

I own a 2012 Kia Forte Koup. Very low mileage (just had my 30K service done). Car is very reliable, no problems, good gas mileage, fun to drive and fits me to a "T". I get quite a few comments on the color and how sharp it looks. If I had to buy another new car it would definitely be a Kia.

Kia Forte

I love the reliability of my car. The gas mileage is great. It handles great, has a little ‘soup’, comfortable for long distance or around town, and large trunk. The only problem I have is that when my daughters are around they want to ‘take over’ because it is fun for them to drive. If I have anything negative to say it would be that after going from Sorentos down to Forte it is just that. Not as easy to get in and out of, doesn’t give me the visibility that I loved in my Sorentos. It does have a blind spot but I added the little mirrors on my side mirrors and have no more problems with the blind spot. It is in a different class entirely from the SUV’s that I have always had so it isn’t a fair comparison. However, at this stage of my life it’s dependable, and that’s what counts!

2012 forte

I love my car. After suffering a major pelvic and hip injury, comfort was my main concern. The forte has extremely comfortable and spacious seating.

My 2012 Kia Forte

I bought my Kia pre-owned from people I know, and it was well-maintained. It's not my favorite car, but it's working fine and is adequate for my needs. Excellent mileage...

'12 Forte

I like my '12 Forte. My previous care was a '09 Kia Rio. My Forte is a little bigger which I wanted when I shopped for a car. Other than running over a curb and cracking the bottom of my car, I have had to have no other repair work done. I like that Metro Kia takes really good care of my car.
