2011 Kia Forte consumer reviews

Great little car, especially if it is used as a first car! The brakes are extremely touchy, as my friends always comment, which I like but it is based on preference. The acceleration is not anything fascinating, but it gets the job done. Sound system on the ex model is incredibly clear if you are using an aux or the bluetooth feature. The comfort of the car is also astounding and I don't have a problem driving long distances with it. I bought the car used with 113,000 miles and am now at 119,000 miles and she seems to be doing just fine. Minor wear and tear as expected for a car of that mileage, but nothing major. Overall, it is a great car and is fun to drive.

I would buy another, buy one for my daughter or wife, sell one to a friend..., watch out Toyota & Honda...Kias catching up : )

I bought this car used. I am from Michigan, have a 40 mile commute for work and I attend school out west. This car fit all these needs. I bought it with ~32,000 miles on it and have put on another 30,000. Still runs like new, had regular maintenance done nothing major. Get car for the money

I have had my car for a week and I truly love it. I love the ECO feature that allows me to know when I am driving smart and saving on gas. My favorite feature is the hands free that syncs up with my phone. The trunk space is huge which I need when traveling. The rids is so smooth it feels like I am on cloud nine. I love the 100,000 miles or 10 years which ever comes first. Overall just a great car spacious inside. Everyone tells me they love it. I do to!

I just got this car a few days ago. I was not for a Kia, I worked at a body shop 6 years ago, I was totally against them. I had a 2002 Mercedes-Benz with 144,000 miles on it, and it was falling apart. I have 3 children, and I need a reliable car. I love the fact that it is a 2011 and has only 31,000 miles on it. It still smells like a new car, it is in PREFECT shape. I have had quite a few cars, and I have to say, this one is by far my favorite car I have ever owned. I love everything about it.

I guided my wife to this purchase and we are both very pleased with the choice. This car is a rocket!!! It looks and runs great and it only had 11K on it when we bought it in March. This car has such good pick up that we need to be careful even backing out of a parking space!! The 6 speed transmission shifts just fine, so do not pay any attention to this being a negative as rated by this site. I have always beleived that Kia and Huyandai are in the process of supassing BOTH Honda and Toyota in quality and overall design and will continue to do so over the next 5-10 years. Sorry all of you C-RV and Rav-4 owners!!!

I have been a Nissan buyer for years and after buying a Kia I swear by them. I have bought 3 in the last year and looking to buy another now.

Great MPG. Very good for long trips and good size trunk for lots of different items. If your looking for a car for a family of four this is a great buy.

Great first car, gas is affordable and mileage is great. It has a cute look and maneuvers pretty well. I am enjoying my first car.

I had this car with me for 5 months long. My Forte was 1.6SX 6-speed equiped with full of accessories. I enjoy my ride and it given me full of satisfaction. Although Forte is selling relatively cheap, but the car was offering much better specs than its rivals and comfortable ride. Meanwhile it maintains top class of safety. This is the car consumer bought with no regret at all at this price.
