The Kia Forte gets the job done

I'm happy that this car is a reliable and efficient daily commuter, although it is nothing special to drive. The drive is rather pedestrian, and the lack of comfortable seating doesn't help. The interior is rather dark and spartan, but the exterior is quite elegant. If your priority is getting from point A to B safely, the Forte is a good choice. It's been a great hassle-free car for seven years.

We have had our kia forte for about 3 months now. We took it for it's first oil change which in our contract stated the first years worth would be free. After they were done, they tried to charge us for it. We of course pointed out that they were supposed to be free. Had to wait for them to get in contact with our sales person and verify that yes, it should be free. Apparently they do not notate it at the sale when they promise you certain things so you have to basically fight for it when it comes to actually getting what you were promised. Now, we have a popping sound in the steering wheel for about a week. Called the service dept and they said to bring it in. Took it in today..was told that it was at least a 2 hour wait for them to get to it just to find out what was wrong. We told them we cannot wait that long and would we get a rental car? Was told that they will only give us a rental car if the car is either kept overnight or if they deem it undriveable. Otherwise we have to bring it up there, and sit and wait until they can get to it. Awesome service. Because I can afford to take off of work to go sit up at a dealership for hours just to be told whether or not they can even fix it that day or not. And then if they CAN fix it I definitely have time to sit up there even longer and wait while they do. This is a brand new car..our first new car we have ever bought..there is no reason why we should even be having ANY problems to begin with, much less having to hassle to get it fixed. If there is a problem, especially something major, such as STEERING, you would think they would say "ok, lets get it fixed. Here is a loaner car until we figure out what is wrong and get it corrected". UPDATE- we would NEVER buy another kia period. They "fixed" the popping noise and a month later it started again. Took it back and was told some bearing had come apart again. They "fixed" it again and it started again less than a month later. We never bothered to take it back. Waste of time and money. Went to try to trade it in and the trade in value was $5000...for a 2 year old car. We still owe like $15000. The dealership declined to even take the kia! These cars are the biggest pieces of crap ever made.

Slow, bad spark plugs and crappy paint!

It gets way worse gas mileage than they will lead you to believe. You only get mid to high 20s if you putter. The turbo leaves A LOT to be desired. It accelerates slower than most other turbocharged vehicles. The Microsoft UVO system is utter trash and absolutely useless. The pain chips CONSTANTLY, like the ENTIRE hood of the car chipped like crazy and the Kia logo epoxy coating is peeling off. The spark plugs on ours were replaced 3 different times because they kept failing, as well as a control module for whatever reason. Stay away from this car unless it's priced UNDER $10k because you will be sorely disappointed. This car is absolute trash.
