Here's what I can complain about

I wanted a small car so I'm living with it, but the window/lock control panel is strangely close to the driver. Took a couple months to get used to pulling my arm all the way back so I can press the window buttons, never found that in another car before. A little low to the ground because it's trying to be sporty, but not too low where you hit every bump, just have to be more mindful of debris in the street. You can feel the road perhaps a bit more than the average car of this age, doesn't bother me, but some passengers like to point it out (dad). Also, being a small car, expect some extra struggle when you load up 4-5 heavy people :) Added 25k miles to the 15k I bought it with, no issues yet. Very basic features which I was happy with because I grew up on old simple cars, not a whole bunch of worthless tech I'll never learn how to use. Overall happy with how it performs, feels, handles.

This car has been very reliable. I put about 15,000 miles a year with zero problems with just regular maintenance. I still get a lot of complements on how good the car looks.

I would advise anyone looking to get a 2016 Kia Forte Ex steer clear. The transmission is very hesitant, especially on the freeway. The car rattled until on the fourth repair attempt they finally fixed the issue. The car is a nightmare for anyone who has an interest in cars. The engine makes pretty good power but it does not start to really get moving until around 5000 RPM. The transmission is always in the wrong gear. Eco mode just means the throttle will not respond almost at all. When cornering the traction control system tries to intervene and does a horrible job at that (even when the system is turned off it still tries to work.) The brakes overheat and fade pretty quickly in a stop and go higher speed situations. The drivers seat is extremely uncomfortable and lacks support. The plastics look cheap and feel the same way. I have had two bad tires because the stock tires went bad when in both cases a small rock on the road hit the sidewall of the tires. I am very upset and honestly will never own another car from Kia. I would suggest anyone to look at other upscale CPO cars instead of this one. I am not going to bother trying to fix anymore of these issue because at the end of the day it is not worth wasting my time. I honestly have stopped caring about my car. I used to wax it and wash it all the time but with all the problems I have had it doesn't seem like it is worth the care I would normally give to a car.

If you are looking for a great affordable car go and check out Cowboy Kia in Conroe Texas! They made sure I got the vehicle I wanted in the color I wanted and the price I wanted. The sales team and finance department were fantastic and made sure I was comfortable during the entire process. Everyone was very nice. As I have only had my Forte for a little over a week I can't comment on service because I haven't needed any. I love the interior and it handles nicely! Everything about it is great! I would recommend getting a Kia to all. Very affordable and plenty of extras for the price. Great on gas too. I am really looking forward to my trip to Louisville Kentucky next week. Derby Time!!
