2013 Kia Forte EX 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl 6A)
7 of 15 people found this review helpful
I've had it for about 1.5 years...seemed like a lovely little deal with the XM radio, I got an ex...I was wrong about 1 yr in the amfm and satellite radio acquires signal every 5 or so minutes, the heat barely wants to work, the steering wheel looks horrible, the seats look horrible and the drivers seat sits like a hard church bench, it takes longer to stop running the ac and now it's starting to drink gas. Yes I've taken it in for service and had gas treatments...at first I was in love now I'm very unpleased and am stuck with it bc it's worth nothing, come to find out its not even that safe to drive...so when they wanted me to trade up to the new body style I was like no

2012 Kia Forte EX 4dr Hatchback (2.0L 4cyl 6A)

Almost 7 years and 152000 miles. Yes the engine is clicking. And the sounds it makes are wacky. Never anything done but matinence. But now it won't stay in gear? When over 70 mph. I have heard of this on other Kia models but not the Forte. Will be taking it in and I'm sure it will be fun😉.

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.

2012 Kia Forte SX 4dr Hatchback (2.4L 4cyl 6A)
3 of 7 people found this review helpful
It's a fun car to drive. Even with being one of the bigger hatchbacks on the market, (I call it a mini-SUV) it's got great handling and fun engine. My previous car was a suped up Ford Focus, and I actually like driving this Kia more. The back seat provides a ton of room for passengers. Seats are comfortable to sit in, and I drive 40 minutes to and from work most mornings and never have problems with my knees or back - which was a problem with my focus and sometimes my boyfriends civic. The price is a little high for the SX version - but see if you can find rebate deals. I got mine on a lease fully loaded for $250 a month. If I choose to buy it out I'll only pay $20,000 total.
