A Korean car made in Mexico!

2017 Kia Forte S 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl 6A)

This car it terrific! 32-34 MPG, good performance, and predates the CVT transmissions found in virtually all cars of this class. [including the current KIA Fortes] The six speed clutch-type transmission is very responsive and silky smooth. Smoother than the current CVTs with their disgusting fake shifts. Body fits BMW plus accurate. Now 7 years old and still like new. Perfect paint and interior.

Full of issues

2017 Kia Forte EX 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl 6A)

Not sure why Kia ended up the reliable category. My 2017 Kia Forte is full of issues. The recall about ignition coil was covered by Kia, but at 40,000 miles the alternator went bad. Wind nose is very loud. I should have bought a Toyota Corolla instead. Maybe other Kia cars Ok, but based on my experience, I do not recommend Kia to others. If you want a peace of mind, Kia is not the brand you should be looking for.
