Kia Forte Hatchback

Absolutely love this car. I’m getting about 31mpg. My biggest fear worry was driving in the snow. This is my second winter with my Kia and it handles really well. I also love the back up camera the built in navigation also Sirus radio is great. My only concern for this car is the ride is rough and seems loud going threw rain or over bumps. Other then that this car was really affordable.

Ok..too many fake reviews here..so let me honest!! I've had my car for a little over 1 year. Right away I hated the wind sound. I read "the interior is quiet." No. Far from it!! It sounds like a wind tunnel in there! Second, the brakes. I just about get whiplash the first 3 to 5 times I step on my brake...EVERYTIME I drive it. Third, it has zero power! Do NOT pull out into traffic unless you have plenty of time to possibly almost stall out and get out of the way in time. Cant even count how many times it bogs down EVERY time I drive it. Fourth, the tires SUCK! Again..if the ground is AT ALL wet, I cant pull out unless I have plenty of time as they WILL spin. They also squeak when I turn. Had this checked..was told my tire must have hit the painted line. They are now spongy and losing air at 14,000 miles. Fifth, the wheel wells. This is NOT an ok Minnesota winter car. Whoever said this is a great car in snow must sell fortes because that is so far from the truth!! The snow builds up in the well so badly that I have to stop and get it out. I had 5 minutes til I got home after a 2 inch snowfall. I decided to try to make it home. Nope. Snow built up and broke the protector thing in there so now that rubs on my tire. Its duct tape til I DARE to drive it to Kia. I fear a trip there will land me in jail! Ok..where are we..sixth issue windshield wipers. They do not clear the whole window. Washer fluid does not spray far. Therefore, theres about a 12 inch tall by 6 inch area that gets completely white on a salty splashy road! Again, if I want to drive safe I need to get out and clear it by throwing 10 handfuls of snow on it. Seventh, the heat sucks on low..and if you turn it up it's as bad as the natural wind tunnel. With all this said...passengers hate riding with me!! Again.. I hate this car!!

This car is amazing, I have only had for 1 day but I love everything about it. The only thing that I was it had is a spare tire instead of a tire inflation kit. Also I wish it had another USB port, but those are nit picky things. Amazing car!

After 6 months of driving, still loving it! Not changing anything else in this review, all the high ratings still stand. Would like to add that we have an awesome dealership here in Quincy, Il. though! Was after a good economy car to replace a 10 year old Hyundai Elantra. (The Elantra was a good experience for us, but I was amazed at how far this class has come in the past ten years. We have or have had higher end cars/ SUVs/ mini-vans.) We found it in this Kia Forte S model with the tech package option. Quality of materials, features, ride, styling, roominess, just a good overall, well refined design. And at a really good price, so a great value to top it all off. We have only had this car for a month, but we are really loving it!
