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 .

After my first test drive in the kia forte (which brought a smile to both myself and my wifes face) the base price of 18,500 kept the smile going. It is now 3 yrs later and i have had no complaints with the car or the dealer.

A stylish and spacious car
Forte is a stylish and spacious compact car, although I can not tell its long time reliability now.
1. Space: Forte is probably one of the most spacious cars in its class. A guy with a height of 190 cm can fit relatively comfortable in the driving seats.
2. Performance: Acceleration is satisfying, it is smooth to speed up to 130 km/h on highway to surpass a truck. I tried it while driving alone.
3. Fuel economy is good, but can not see any significant difference from its peers, such as Mazda 3 and Nissan Versa. I drove more than 230 km with one-third tank of gas.
However, my wife does not like it seats, a little bit of uncomfortable.

Great on gas
great car, hwy driven company car. However if you ever intend on getting work done, parts are expensive and dealer customer service horrible. Example, I brought my car in for a break change and they held it for 7 days, in that time they lost the parts twice, reordered them. Finally I had to go to another deal order the breakpads and get thin installed by another dealership.

Great first car!
I just recently got this car and I love it! It's great on gas and excellent as a first car! It has an ECO setting that comes with even the basic model and after reading some reviews myself, the car has a great impact report. The maintenance on this car isn't much because it's a 4 cylinder and has smaller tires than those other gas guzzlers out there. It's exterior design is great and makes the car look sporty and slick even though it's not. It's perfect for the rainy weather and snow because the side mirrors are heated and doesn't take long to warm up depending on where your going. The interior of the vehicle is very nice and each Forte model comes with a USB AND Auxiliary port for iPods and MP3 players saving the cost of buying extra features after the original purchase.

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.

A great car
It is smooth riding and great on gas. The cost of gas needed was very low. I love the Sirius Satellite radio and the fact an iphone can be added. There was lots of room and it was very comfortable. The cost was very reasonable. Both my husband and I loved it.There is not much else to say except that it is affordable, easy to drive, has great features, and cost little to drive. We were only renting the Kia Forte we were driving, but we would definitely love to own one.We are looking up Kia dealerships now.
