38 mpg highway. Easy to use controls. Rear view camera. Stereo system. I willS never go back to Toyota. Can't believe suggested retail price is higher now than when I bought it. I did know that it was a deal as a one year old 14k vehicle. Only negative. Experiencing some discolor in upholstory driver side. I've had no trouble thus far. Love all the countless features. It is a keeper.

LOVE this car!

I have had this car for almost 4 years and I love it! It's a fun, cute, solid piece of machinery. The cabin and trunk are very roomy. I can easily pack three kids in the back seat and all the beach essentials (cooler, wagon, chairs, umbrella, etc...) in the trunk. I have had no problems with it at all. I've done regular oil changes and just recently replaced the brakes and rotors. Overall, the KIA Forte5 SX T-GDi is a great, reliable vehicle. My husband didn't want me to get a KIA but now he's a fan and we just purchased another one.

Reliable Kia but stifled by anemic power

I really tried to love this car. Let’s start with the positive: it’s reliable. I got mine with 90k miles and never had an issue with it. I thought that would be enough for me to love the car but the power delivery, sub par fuel economy compared to completion, an uninspiring engine note and terrible ride comfort were enough for me to consider moving on from it so I did just that. If you are a car enthusiast I would steer clear of this one.
