Used 2019 Kia Forte for Sale Near Me

The bottom seat cushions are a bit flat, but they can be inclined, which helps. The seatback is contoured nicely and there's just enough padding for long-distance comfort. We appreciate the relatively soft and unobtrusive headrests, which might be the most comfortable spot to rest your dome in the whole class.

The Kia Forte feels adequately punchy around town and accelerates well at freeway speeds, however its CVT automatic is unrefined in its power delivery, resulting in a 0-60 mph time of 8.7 seconds which is middle of the road for the class.

The Forte has a solid and responsive brake pedal, with a linear response that instills confidence even in emergency situations. We measured a 60-0 mph panic-stop distance of 120 feet, which is right up there with the best in the class.

The Forte feels solidly put together, and presents well, with an attractive mix of materials and surfaces. Most touch points are covered with something pleasant, and while there's a lot of hard plastic it's generally well-integrated and it doesn't make the car look cheap or lightweight.
