She has power and a turn radius to die for. She’s exceptional on gas mileage and plenty of leg room for a tall man like me!
Treating me well!

I really enjoy my car. It’s great on gas , on the highway I get about 52 mpg and driving around town I get between 35-40 mpg. I really haven’t had any issues and have had her for almost 2 years now ! Only thing I had to do is keep on my my routine maintenance such as oil changes, had to put new wipers and get new tires after about a year and a half. But I really love this car.

My car is only two years old and I am having issues with the alternator on my car . It wouldn’t start for three days and needed a jump to start . Took the car in and they could not find the issue till the second visit ...
Great reliable economic car

Love my new to me 2018 Kia Forte. Has a lot of pick up and go in sport mode which I did not expect. Handling is tight and Apple car play is fantastic.

Bought the Kia Forte S with tech package which is incredible value. The car drives well in dry, wet, and snow and is comfortable on drives around town. People have said the backseat is roomy and the front cabin is a good kind of snug. The size has been fantastic to parallel park and it is easy to drive around parking lots and in garages. As the other reviews have mentioned, the OEM tires are horrid so upgraded to Michelin Premier A/S. I also complain about the sliding rear end when making left turns, the car does not always feel the most grounded. My last gripe is long-term comfort on road trips and even sometimes siting in traffic, I think Civic and Mazda 3 do those two better but of course they are a few grand more when equally equipped. Highly recommend as a first-time vehicle or city driver. The S trim is great and the only thing you really lack are seat heaters and leather. Great job Kia!
