I have had my Kia Forte 8 yrs now and could not be more pleased. I have 165,000 miles on it and have done only normal maintenance to date. The car rides nice. It handles corners really well. It is comfy and gets great gas mileage. I paid 18k for it and it was worth every penny.

Comfy little car, trust it on long trips, but the interior design is basic, bunch of rattles here and there. engine makes weird noises sometimes, clutch started feeling weird 10 minutes after i left the dealer.

I've only had this car for about a month and have really liked it so far. The ease that the majority of functions in this car is nice compared to my previous car. Even though the majority of my driving has been shorter in-city distances, its gas milage has been pretty close to estimated mileage. I will soon see how well the gas mileage does with a long trip.

Love my car.....great value. Definitely worth the price. Easy to get kids in and out. Cargo space very roomy for a small car. Rides nice. Only issues is traction on wet or snow very light car handling is loose in heavy wind also. Had issues with air conditioner line clogging and normal maintenance only.

I rented one, and this Forte gets up to 50-55 MPG on highway if cruising only up to 50 mph speed (no higher) at the magic, low 1,500 RPM mark, A/C off, cruise control on, and windows closed. Accelerate this Forte very carefullly by not letting it run higher than 1,500 RPM for each and all transmission gears it shifts from stop to go in city driving, regardless if other drivers behind you find you too slow. Shift to neutral for all downhill driving as much as possible to receive up to 100 MPG. Shift back to drive if neutral driving reaches below 50 mph. Anyone can do it. Happy traveling...
