poor gas mileage
I have owned it for a month. It has 20K miles on it. So far, it does 19 mpg 50/50 mixed. I am very disappointed in this. My other cars (a CUV and a wagon) give me 22 mpg/city!!!!
Pros and Cons
I purchased my 2011 Forte EX in January and there are some things I like but others I don't. It is a great city car. If you drive daily on the highway be cautious of strong winds especially when behind an 18-wheeler. It seems to be too aerodynamic and lite in my opinion. I have already been in an accident that cost the other driver about $1,500 to fix a small dent in my drivers door that wasn't hit very hard to begin with. I downgraded from a Volvo S60 so I'm not as happy with this car as I was my last, but for a college student driving to and from work and school it is a very reasonable car, although I am looking to trade it in for the Optima at the end of the year.

10/10 would recommend
I have the 2.4L SX top of the line model for 2011. Heated seats, leather, sunroof. I love the kia forte. It is a peppy car with a lot of pick up. Good handling and good gas mileage. Only downside i would say is the chrome detailing on the interior flakes off.

Nice car
Very important to have "quiet" tires. Purchased Michelin "Defender" tires and ride is great and QUIET. Does not have a "engine temperature" gage only an "idiot light". The electronic stability control (ESC) comes on after a bumpy road and must be "over ridden".

Worth the money
Purchased an SX model with all the options including NAV. Just been a few weeks. So far so good. A few rattles, but nothing major.
