Love my Forte

I love my 2019 Snow White Pearl Forte EX. My only issue is the windshield wipers are attached underneath the hood. You cannot lift them to clean underneath them or lift them in the winter so they don't freeze to the windshield. Thankfully, I keep my car in the garage.

Not what you’d expect

I bought a 2019 Kia Forte back in February of this year, and haven’t had any issues out of the car until today. With less than 19,000 miles my car started idling today with the RPMS rapidly going back and forth while the engine is making a ticking noise. I had to have it towed to the dealership hopeful it’s nothing major. After all this really questions my trust and liability of this car.

Purchased My 5th KIA!

KIA is the only car I will purchase. My dealership, Young KIA in Layton, Utah, is amazing! Purchasing this car was fast and easy with them. As for the Forte. I purchased the Fire Orange EX special addition. I needed a car after my 2018 Niro got totaled in a accident. Amazing on the strength of KIA cars in an accident. Had the frame not bend the car would have been repairable. These cars really hold up in T accident. Had the frame not been destroyed, it was repairable. The mileage in the Forte can only be beat by the Niro. The cost of the Forte is a lot less then the Niro. The acceleration of the Forte is not great but that is made up by the mileage you get on the Forte. My husband picked this Fire Orange color. The car looks really sporty. Interior is beautiful. Makes you feel like you are driving a high end car. The maintenance packages KIA offers are amazing and affordable. The warranty for KIA can not be beat. That is why I only buy KIA and only from my dealer, Young KIA in Layton, Utah. You will never be disappointed purchasing a KIA. Check out a dealer, they have vehicles for every budget and even the lower end of the Forte is beautiful inside and out.
