I was looking for something with a great warranty AND something that had a classier look, I found both in the Forte. I got the EX model because I wanted something with a bit more kick. Its a smooth drive and its nimble I am able to weave in and out of traffic with a breeze. Overall I am COMPLETELY satisfied with my purchase.

I just recently purchased a used one from private owner, I love kia product but the forte is not the same as my old kia soul, electrical issues and trunk has water leaks. I know its a used car and not a new car at all but again I love my kia soul I have this car for at 8 years and never have any problem at all I keep the maintenance service and I changed the brakes one time only and that's it. so now having this kia forte is disappointed. I already spend $2k to fix the brakes line and the exhaust now more problem its really crazy.

2nd Best Car I Have Ever Owned

I was always a U.S. manufactured car buyer either Chevy or Ford. After driving an unreliable chevy for years that cost a lot to keep running I felt the need to have a car with a great warranty. KIA/Hyundai have the very BEST warranty. I like cars that have pickup so usually drove manual transmissions, but decided I wanted an automatic. Still want pickup so bought the KIA Forte EX with the 2.0 liter engine, 176 horsepower and am very happy with it. It looks good (black on black). I love the LED lights and the folding door mirrors for looks and the styling is unique and sporty with 16 in wheels. I have driven it for almost 5 years, and had zero problems, nothing has been replaced or had to be fixed. Little to no vibrations. Gas mileage is not great but it's the way I drive and where I drive, not just the bigger engine.

This car is horrible. Has given me nothing but problems. Constantly in the shop. It was at a kia dealership for over a year waiting for one of the covered repairs. Now in the shop again for a new engine......at least it should be covered again. But good gosh, horrible vechicle, i do not recommend to anyone
