Used 2014 Kia Forte EX 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl 6A) Consumer Reviews
Water leaking
I took my car to the shop 6 months after purchase for water damage in the truck and the back seat in March of 2016. I had to fight tooth and nail to get them to replace the back seat and trunk pieces as they had mold growing on them. I am now having the same problem but much worst. My daughter is HIGHLY Allergic to mold which is growing in my trunk and along my back seat. I have a pond of water in my trunk and apparently no one cares. The car has a horrible odor as if I left raw meat in it for weeks. It is very disappointing dealing with this.

Little things mean a lot
Have had the Forte EX w/Premium package since April 2013, and like it well enough. It will never be a car I love, and Kia has not won my brand loyalty with this model.
This car is a lot of fun!
I've always owned Kia's and Hyundai's and have never had an issue and this car is no exception. our car is loaded with Bluetooth, satellite radio, rear back up camera and stereo controls on the steering wheel, making this car a fun and comfortable ride on roadtrips! we purchased this car for my wife in July of 2014 and now has 15k in it and have had NO PROBLEMS! i absolutely love it. Now i am in the market myself for a new car and after reading the reviews on the 2014 corolla, 2014 sentra SR, two of the cars i was considering buying, i realized the serious problems these two cars have with their trannys and or other critical components. So at this point i am happily going to stick to kia or hyundai. The only 2 issues i've had with my car so far are just minor interior issues. The car door seal seems like it shrunk with the heat (we live in arizona) and its coming out of place. the other problem is the passanger electric windows switch broke off... both of these issues are nothing compared to problems with the engine!

Luxury at walmart budget
Every luxury feature you want, however these kias are made so cheaply. The plastic scratches so easily, even the paint on steering wheel controls comes off. I guess you'd expect since it is lower price point. Some of my favorite features include: heated steering wheel, cooling seats, dual climate control, steering wheel mode control and the paddle shifters. It is very sporty. Fun to drive and handles so well in snow. Complaints: I do have an engine oil consumption issue. I live somewhere with snow, and due to the angle of the back windshield, every winter my back up camera glitches out until it can dry up, and works perfectly fine again.
