Kia Forte is good

This vehicle is relatively cheaper than similar size of Japanese vehicles and still have good fuel efficiency and better design for me.

Love the KIA inn addition to my former Toyota.

This vehicle, thus far, has exceeded my expectations in terms of performance and comfort. I really appreciate the excellent turning radius.

Great upgrade

This particular vehicle has plenty of upgrades to it that make it not only a great way to get from point A to point B, but doing it with comfort and style. I love the UVO app, and Android Auto.

From a Spark to a Forte!

It is large enough interior-wise without ?looking? or driving like a land yacht. (Our former vehicle was a 2016 Chevy Spark and the grandson?s infant car seat was a tight squeeze) The Kia Forte is a nice ride.

Best Car I?ve Ever Owned

This car makes me feel secure, unlike other cars that make driving scary. The steering is smooth, the brakes are excellent, very spacious and great for car seats and baby accessories.

Upgraded 2015 to 2017

Purchased the S model. Package has lots of extra features that I didnt have on the 2015. Ride is smooth and car has great pick up. We own 4 Kias in our house and are happy with our most recent addition.

Love forte!

The color and the exterior is beautiful and edgy. I got deep sea blue and love it! The way the car picks up is amazing. I love the remote start. The inside is shiny and new! Love it! Coming from a truck that wasn?t reliable for my family, into this was a blessing.
