Great Car

My daughter a college student has a great mode of transportation which is very economical and ultra reliable. Runs like new. Minimal servicing. Feels like its good for 200,000 miles. No oil leaks and no top ups between regular oil changes.

2016 Kia forte

Our 2016 Kia forte has comfortable seating for a compact car. It gets high gas mileage such as high 30s on the highways. The car has a smooth ride and good pick up. We love our Kia forte! We have no regrets!!

Great little car

Since I've had it no major problem, the car is a good car. I never had a kia I love the one I have. I'd get another one if I had too and let others know that a kia is a good car to have you will love

Reliable transportation

Not only do I benefit from driving my Forte for personal use but also I ride share with a few thousand passengers while driving for Uber and Lyft over the past several months. It is important to have a minimal amount of down time for maintenace and repairs. My gas mileage is favorable and important since I do put on many miles every day. I have purchased several Kias and will continue to make this my number one choice.

A great small car

This KIA Forte 5 is just a great small car, well worth the money. Better than almost all small cars on the market, many more features than cars on the same car and so much better than most. This is one of the best small cars to buy.

2016 Kia Forte 5

This is the 2nd Kia that I have owned. I get good gas mileage. It has a lot of get up and go for a small car. Comfortable on long trips. Handles well in all types of traffic. I have not had any major issues with the car.

Love it!

I love my Forte. My favorite part is the awesome mileage. 30 to 32 mpg average but I got 46 mpg on a trip to Oregon. I am a Kia owner for life!

Kia Forte 5

I started with the 2012 Kia Forte four door and moved to the 2016 Kia Forte 5. Both cars have given me good service and good mileage.

Forte

I like driving the car. The car is an automatic, but accelerating in the 35 to 45 mph range is rough. Takes a hard push to make the car go. At times it surges forward. Other than that and the mice appear to love Kia's fun car to drive.

I downsized to the Kia Forte. Nice little car. All the features are great. The comfort level is average, just wish it had a full size arm rest since I do a lot of driving.

Awesome car

I love my new car it rides so smooth and the features are amazing I love the idea don't have to look over my shoulder to back up I have an rear view camera that let's me see behind me. I love that it had a touch screen radio and also when it's started I don't even realize they it's still running because it's so quite Kia is the best way to go if you want to feel like they are there for you

Great compact car

This is my 1st new car and I love it. Smooth ride, great on gas and good space for a smaller car. I have driven long distance in a storm and I always felt in control behind the wheel. Would recommend it.

Love the four door sedan, very spacious, still very sporty, love the manual transmission!

I really do love the safety ratings and functionality of the Forte, I have always driven Ford and Chevy but I have to say that KIA has really impressed me with their design of the vehicles and the safety features, I feel safe having my family in the car with me, definitely will stay with KIA for years to come!
