Reliable, good value.
I bought this car used in May of 2017. So far, aside from squeaking noises from my brakes in humid weather, I have not encountered a single issue. The car had 110,000km upon purchase.

Not bad for the money
For a car that was just under 30k brand new, it's about as good as can be reasonably expected. It's no rocket, but its not slow either. The styling is OK, nothing too outrageous or too bland. It is quite comfortable for long drives and the reliability has been excellent thus far. Fuel economy is alright and if you drive with a light foot you can actually do pretty good.
My only knock on it was that some of the finish materials were of a tacky cheap plastic and really heat the car up in the sun. Also, the car struggled a bit in the snow until we put proper winter tires on it. We just replaced the all seasons with new top shelf Michelins, so that should no longer pose a problem.

second kia and still tuff as ever
this car really as 2 personality you can drive your family around without any problem ,plenty of space ,good visibility .But when you whant to have some fun the suspension is firm without being harsh,the engine as good pickup and with paddle shift at the wheel its better then ever .The kia have only one drawback its the gas mileage .Not as bad as many people said but a little bit high for this kind of car.Consedering the power of the engine I dont really care about the gas mileage .

Decent car for its dollar
It gets decent gas mileage, smooth ride and handles pretty well. Plenty of trunk space as well as in the back seat for passengers.

Fantastic for the Price
I purchased my Kia Forte last summer and am continuously impressed with it. The 2011 Forte was the first year of the redesign, and I love the look of it - much sleeker and sportier than it's predecessor. It drives beautifully, has great gas mileage, and is very comfortable (I do wish that it offered lumbar support however). I really do like the interior, and am glad that there are different models available. I haven't had any problems to date with this vehicle.

2011 Kia Forte
Trim: FORTE KOUP SX with Automatic transmission

A Joy to Drive
Initially taking this car for a test drive, you wouldn't normally expect with its 2.4L, DOHC, in-line 4-cylinder however this car can really kick into high gear when want it to. There is something satisfying about putting your foot down and getting immediate reaction, however be mindful as you might get a neck crick from the quick responding 6 speed automatic transmission. The car's interior is nothing to out of the ordinary, however with the added iPod port as well as satellite radio which are all accessible from the steering wheel nothing seems cumbersome. Even though it is a two door car, there's still plenty of room for friends in the back. A 6'1 foot man like myself can still sit in the back without much hassle, and enough head room to not feel like your packed in a tuna can. Also not forgetting Kia's fantastic bumper to bumper 5 year warranty is the real winner here, Kia has gone great lengths to back their vehicles and manufacturing by literally fixing anything that happens to the vehicle within those 5 years up to and including minor car scratches! I would recommend this vehicle for anyone looking for a first brand new car.
