2012 Kia Forte Koup EX 2dr Coupe (2.0L 4cyl 6M)

This car is a tank! I was not paying as much attention as I should have been and nearly rear ended a truck but instead jerked the wheel at like 40 mph skidded sideways like 50 ft and hit and then jumped a curb, all it did was give the rim a small bit of rim rash it still drives fine and is still in alignment. The mileage though is not what it said it should be even though using medium grade does make a notable difference in this and power. And it is sorta peppy. It has plenty of room, I am almost 6'' and am not skinny. And yes it drives like butter, only problem is the stock tires are not very shall we say "grippy". I am at 35,000 miles with absolutely no issue just tune-up type stuff.

Motor blown at 106,000 miles!??? Kia won't help. I know it's over the warranty, but ridiculous! I will not buy another KIA. Do yourself a favor and stick with Honda and Toyota. They are much more reliable. Very disappointed that Kia wouldn't do anything. If you look at other reviews, you know they have problems with their engines, and they won't stand behind them. I don't recommend them at all. Took them 4 months to give me any answers. Update- found a used motor with 60k- still no help from Kia or the dealership. Paid for out of pocket. Not sure how long this motor will last. Seems to run great. Still don’t recommend Kia

The car is okay, but the gas mileage is not very good.

2013 Kia Forte EX 4dr Hatchback (2.0L 4cyl 6A)

I have had my Kia Forte Hatchback since September and have not been impressed by the gas mileage. Highway miles I have not gotten over 30 and city miles are only at 20-22. I do not drive the car hard or jack rabbit starts at the stoplight. Not impressed and would probably go with a Honda or Toyota with my next car.

2013 Kia Forte SX 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 6A)

I've had my Forte since Sept of '12 and thus far I have to say my major gripes are the crappier than expected fuel mileage... a tire that buldged out on me that they wouldn't cover under the warranty "because I must have hit something to make it break", and the leather on the steering wheel is so soft that if you happen to get out of your car with your keys in your hand, it tends to scrape the leather on the wheel as you grab it to get out and tear it... so within the first month of having it, they had to totally replace my steering wheel. Ride gets a tad stiff after a couple hours of driving for a long ways but awesome style and love the features
Absolutely LOVE this car!!

I bought my car two weeks ago and I am so happy with it! I have four kids ages 13-4 including a car seat and we fit comfortably in this car!! My transaction was clean, and simple and I cannot recommend this car enough!
