Bought my 2015 Forte in Nov '14. So far, the car has been great. No mechanical problems or issues at all. It has plenty of room for a compact car. I saw some people said visibility is an issue, but for me ( I'm 5'7) visibility is just fine. I have the base engine, and granted it could use a little more power, and fuel economy is about average not great. The interior is really nice especially when compared to other compact cars that I looked at. KIA has definitely come a long way. PROS: Price, Style, Standard features, Interior quality. CONS: Base engine under powered, standard '15 wheels are cheap looking for such a nice car.

I bought this car in August of 2018 with 29K miles, and now it's got 183K miles on it. I've had very little problems with this Forte and I know I can get over 200K miles on it. The Forte is very fuel efficient which was handy when gas prices went up last year. This car is no rocket by any means, so you have to be patient if you want to get up to speed quickly. It has a tight turning radius and is super easy to park even with it not having a backup camera. Handling is actually quite decent, though, the steering is not engaging and leaves a lot to be desired. Seat comfort is OK for short trips but not for several hours. The backseat is roomy and I could pack a lot of stuff in the trunk when I needed to. The interior materials look and feel decent for the price. For reliability, it's pretty good. The brake master cylinder went out at 70K (never had one of those go out on a car before). The oil sending unit and a front wheel barring were the only other major problems. Just had regular maintenance like brakes, tires, and oil changes. After owning it for five years, it's a good car that get's the job done.

Great valve for the price. Runs great and looks nice. However buying from a Kia dealership in Lithia Springs Georgia the worst. ( Atlanta West Kia)

Failure to start at 103K Km mileage!

Out of the blue, it won't start. Service light on. Battery boost did nothing. Towed it to the dealer, will pay out of my pocket since it got out of warranty by 3000 km. I have to replace the starter. I was told it's very unusual to get such a serious mechanical problem at such a relatively low mileage. I will not buy another Kia. I was too cheap to get a decently reliable car (Civic, Corolla etc), now I pay the price. I could give it 0 stars if I was allowed. Do NOT buy this car!
