I bough my grey 2018 Forte 18 months ago. It was 3yrs old, had 50K kilometers at purchase. It was in pristine condition when I bought it. My general observations. It is fun to drive. Tight steering, handles well. Good acceleration for this class. Mileage is good for this class. Big trunk. Mine has the Apple car play, cruise control package. So, it has everything I need. I had to have the rear shocks replaced at 85K (covered under Kia's generous warranty). This seems kind of early for a 4.5 yr old car. Because I bought mine used, I do not know whether this was due to rough use by the previous owner or a defect in the parts. I would say this, having owned 3 Hyundai's (Elantra, Santa Fe, Tucson) before this Kia: the Korean manufacturers seem to prefer a firmer ride. It is one of the reasons my wife went with a Rav4 over a Santa Fe on her last car purchase. All that being said, I have no regrets abt this purchase. We needed a second car for me to drive to the (commuter) train station, wanted a small sedan, something comparable to a Civic or Corolla. Cars were hard to come by during the pandemic, and this Forte ticked off all the boxes. I expect to keep it for a long time. UPDATE: Its been 3.5 years since I bought the car, and we are up to 125,000KMs. So far, just regular maintenance, oil changes, etc. Car still drives like the day I bought it & has proven to be reliable. No major issues.

Great car but it's very easy to hotwire and Kias fix does not work for this model. My car was stolen within days of upgrade. Kia was contacted repeatedly and would not respond. The local dealer suggested I purchase a Club. Bad customer service from a decent car maker.

I bought my 2018 Kia forte Lx fully loaded aurora black pearl 63k miles great condition clean carfax 2 owner, not to long ago and it's perfect for what I wanted! It looks amazing and I absolutely love driving it! I'm a true believer in my Kia! I love that it has the highest safety rating there is. As long as you do the regular maintenance this car is beyond reliable and budget friendly! It's real fun to drive!!! My car is gorgeous inside and out and it's costing me next to nothing to enjoy it! Don't get me wrong I paid 14k for the car but I did my do diligence and I got the car I wanted. I also can't say enough about the trim on this car it blows away all cars in it's class with this trim!!! My car is fire I use Maguires products for everything inside and out.
