I love my car. The only two downfalls I've experienced so far is that it's not a very smooth ride. Sometimes the trunk popper is hard to pull up, it almost feels like it's going to break off. Oh, one more-no spare tire. I had to call a tow truck for a flat tire when my car was a month old.

I just traded out of a C300 Mercedes. As much as I loved the car the maintenance costs are crazy. Did a lot of research, not to mention I have previously owned KIA's. The forte GT hit the mark. Very sporty, great performance, finish is impeccable and the interior is very well well planned. I just filled up on regular fuel , averaging 36MPG. The GT2 package is the way to go. The HK stereo has a nice sound. I wanted a practical car, with a lot of safety features and comfortable to drive. Forte GT is all that. The 18 inch rims are beautiful. It is a well designed car. Kia has been using the head designer of Audi and has recently hired a designer from BMW. Lets not forget the KIA warranty. Great job KIA. UPDATE: 5000 miles- The more I drive the Forte GT, the more I enjoy the car. I've had the car for 5000 miles , I had the chance to take it for a long trip from NH to NY. The seats are very comfortable and the handling is excellent. Putting the car into sport mode changes the dynamics of the car. For a small engine, the Forte GT is very peppy. The interior layout is excellent. I just bought it in for its first service. The dealer was going to use a synthetic blend of oil, I went with full synthetic. On average I am getting aprox 36 mpg. The best part is the car runs on regular. I save about $8 dollars per tank full. Compared to my C300 which required premium petrol. The safety features on the Forte are comprehensive. The car comes equipped with self braking, lane departure activation and indicates when cars are approaching when reversing. I have to say it's a weird sensation when the car gently steers itself in order to remain in your lane. My only complaint is the Apple Auto/Android Auto play. Being objective I would say some of the issues are related to my 2 year old LG android phone. To pare the phone with the Android Car Play isn't seemless. It often will take several attempts. It is extremely frustrating to use. Often I just disconnect the phone from the car play and use the mapping directly from the phone. Apple car play is a huge mistake on KIA's part. They have a great navigation system and interface system which I don't they they use anymore. All in all, the Forte GT is a great car. This is probably one of the best driving cars I have owned.

I have owned my 2020 Kia Forte Gt-line, in Fire Orange, for 3 weeks. So far it has been a great car. Great running motor, with plenty of pick up when you want to get up and go. I average 40 mpg on the high way, (interstate highway at approx 75 to 80 mph) and up to 47 mpg on 2 way roads, at 60 mph. It handles great and has that sports car like feel. The drive assist feature works great, so no worries about drifting into other lanes. The blind side warning lights work great in heavy traffic, when making lane changes. The back up camera and warning signal works great while backing up onto the road. It gives a good view of what is behind you. The interior is top notch. Seats have that sports car feel to me. Tight wrap around the back and sides fit. I like them, but a larger person may feel a little cramped. The instrument panel in nice. Easy to read and easy to switch from screen to screen. Everything, including the sterio , is controllable from the steering wheel. The voice control is a nice feature. The sterio has a nice sound, but is VERY LACKING in volume. If you like to crank it up a bit on the louder side, you are not doing it in here. And the lack of a CD player is a big minus to me. Although I do use my phone to stream music. Over all I give the car a 4 out of 5 star rating. The car looks and handles great. The gas mileage is above par in my opinion. It has that sports car feel in a family sedan. The only complaint is a very low volume sterio system with no CD player.

This car is amazing. I love my 2020 Forte Gt. Has a fully independent rear suspension so it takes corners so well. Has all the safety features you want like active lane keep assist (drives for you), blind spot detection, rear cross traffic alert, forward collision avoidance assist, back up camera radar cruise, harmon kardon sound system (sedan only), 8” screen with Apple and android car play, heated seats and steering wheel and so much more. And the best part is the 1.6 Turbo and the dual clutch transmission is super fast. The paddle shifters are super quick to response and it has that “dsg fart” sound coming out of the active exhaust that sounds 👍🏼. Really impressed with the car and the warranty.
