2012 Kia Forte EX 2. the absolute best car in the
So I got 2012 Kia Forte EX, 2.0L, for an amazing price! How much and why, you ask? High mileage and cracked windshield, and wasn't cleaned up by the dealership yet. I just happened to see it right after the dealership took it. The window doesn't affect my sight. The high miles are because it was used for a work car. Where I live you travel an hour 1 way for most people. Didn't care about the miles. It was taken care of properly and I have been to. The only thing that drives me crazy if the timing click.i looked up how to fix it. It's a free fix. I've had to learn how to work on my own car since I don't have my husband here. Y'all I'm a 44 year old woman with DISABILITIES! I can work on this car without being totally confused and lost. I've learned to do my own brakes, which takes me longer to get the dang tire off than replacing the brackets and brake pads. I've learned to do a few other things too. I'm learning how to change my alternator this weekend. With a mechanic by my side telling me what to do every step of the way. I now have 250k miles on Batman, my kid's named the car, and I know he'll run another 250k as long as I keep up.on regular maintenance. You know oil changes, tune ups, and getting to know your car's every feel and sound. knowing if my car sounds funny or not acting right is important to me since I'm not able to run out and buy a new car or afford a shop to take it too. I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE my Kia Forte EX. I can truly and honestly say the ONLY thing I hate on Batman is that he has a sealed system, meaning you can't check nor add transmission fluid. You can but you gotta be smart enough and brave enough to figure it out. It's possible for a non-mechanic to do this but I highly do not recommend you try it of you don't know what your doing. Overall this has been an amazing car and I'm never getting rid of it. It's amazing on gas, 28 miles per gallon still, in town! I'm moving 1500 miles away in another 5 weeks and I'm excited to see what kind of mileage I'll get. I recommend this car for someone getting their 1st car, or wants 1 to travel for work, a small family car, or just plain wants a cute car. I've always been a big Dodge and Ford fan, Kia's are now on my list of favorite vehicles. I'll definitely be crying when I give this car to my son in 2 more years when he starts driving.

"I recently had the pleasure of visiting 95 Motors and was thoroughly impressed with their service. Lori.R was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable, making the entire experience smooth and enjoyable. The team at 95 Motors truly goes above and beyond to ensure customer satisfaction. Highly recommend!"
This was a workhorse.
I purchased this car like new with just over 1000 miles on the odometer. I owned it long enough to put over 200000 miles on it and overall it was a great vehicle. At about a 170000 miles, it started showing its age and I ran into a few minor problems as I approached the 200000 mile mark. I believe that with a little TLC, these cars can last up to 300,000 miles. It is a Kia, so the fit and finish is not 100%, and also they do not like to be neglected on maintenance. Other than that it was a great vehicle and if you need a little car and you're on a budget then look no further.

I bought a Toyota Camry from Waterloo location.
I bought a Toyota Camry from Waterloo location. I have no complaints. I think can’t remember if the Gus first or last name was graham. Great salesmen. Helped me get the note with marginal credit. Great car
Stout little car
I own the 2.0l EX model. Everything is excellent on the car except for 2 subjective gripes; I do a lot of highway driving and the road/wind noise is pretty loud. The other would be that the stock suspension is pretty rough around town. It doesn’t really “absorb” the hits from bumps/potholes. Aside from that, excellent reliability, great mpg, tons of space both for passengers and storage, and AMAZING sound system.

I have nothing but good things to say about my experience
I have nothing but good things to say about my experience with Cars USA in Virginia Beach. I really appriciate all that Nick did in working with me. The other folks in the office were nice, real people, and the shop folks came through. I had a great experience considering such a large purchase, at least for me. The process was fast and smooth, just like my ride home. Oh, Nick actually went back to the airport with me to return my rental, brought me back to start my trip home. I love the 2007 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 !
Sporty, roomy and reliable!
I found my Kia Forte after about six months of searching all sorts of models and makes. It met all my needs. It is incredibly safe as it is so easy to see 360 degrees around the car. The cargo space in this little car cannot be beat!! I previously owned a mini van and am used to lots of room. My husband and I took a two week road trip in this and our luggage included a spinning wheel, small loom, guitar, set of golf clubs, all our cloths for two weeks and we actually had room to purchase a chair to bring home AND we could still safely see out the back window. This little car really packs a lot! The bluetooth function is great for voice command calls while driving. No navigation of call options is required, a simple touch of one button from the steering wheel with the voice command of a name to call, and you are in touch. In the 6 years I have owned the car I have replaced the tires twice, the oil regularly, the battery and the recently the brakes. That is the total of all maintenance the car has required. It doesn't get the quoted mileage, but is decent on gas. Overall it has been an incredibly dependable car that was reasonably priced and I am proud to drive.

Amazing, caring and knowledgeable sales team!
Amazing, caring and knowledgeable sales team! From working with Allan, salesman to find the perfect vehicle, to Kianoosh, sales manager and Tony, General manager, this was the best car buying experience I have ever had! Straightforward, now hassling, price reasonable and they worked fast. I’ve been at dealerships for 6-8 hours buying this took literally 2 hours including test drive. No pressure to buy additional packages. Great communication from the initial email with Allan online about the car! Helpful tips from the General Manager about financing. I didn’t feel treated differently as woman or taken advantage of. If you are looking for a used vehicle please check them out! I love the fact the GM Tony was hands on often you never see them! Call Allan and get started. I have my dream car!!

Hello, I recently purchased a 2021 Toyota Tacoma from Landers McLarty Toyota-"DJ" DeJon Bailey, Sales Professional. I had an exceptional experience during the entire purchase process. DJ was very knowledgeable of all aspects of the Tacoma and very articulate when explaining the purchasing process and addressed all my inquiries and questions in a timely manner. I live 1.5 hours from the dealership and once the paperwork was completed; he personally delivered my Tacoma to home address and again addressing any questions I had. I will definitely plan to have my next vehicle purchase via DJ!

I absolutely loved my experience buying a car at Kia of Dodge City! This was my first time buying a car from a dealer and they made it such a fun experience. Everyone was super friendly and personable from the very beginning. They were very honest and never tried to keep secrets but were very upfront about everything and also offered amazing warranties. I definitely recommend them and I would buy from them again for sure!

I absolute love my car!
I absolute love my car! Fantastic experience from the beginning to the end. I was looking for a 2005 Mustang, it had to be that year and a convertible. We had been looking all over the US. We are in California, Goliath is in Arizona yet they sent the pictures, video, inspection information, and handled the financing. The whole process was so smooth. We flew into Arizona. Chris from Goliath picked us up at our Airport Hotel, Saturday. He brought my new car to pick us up. We went to Goliath met Paul the owner finished up the paperwork and we were off! We drove ate, shopped, and then drove from Tucson Arizona home to California. It was 15 hours straight!! The Mustang was perfect! What a ride! Goliath is serious about inspecting the car and fixing everything that should be fixed prior to selling the car. They gave me a copy of the inspection and the repairs. If I ever buy another used car I would only go to Goliath. They are trustworthy and professional. The Mustang is a dream, the financing was quick and easy, and they ensured we knew everything about the car before we bought it. Really, don’t go anywhere else. You can trust Goliath, they are an honest automobile dealership with fantastic cars!
