Took Kia 2021 forte 5 . Drove less then 5000 km and not first service done yet. Check engine light came on and car not running on 20 kmph. Service kia says Transmission is gone need to be replaced. Bad experience. More over Kia is refusing to cover for rental car. Trying to figure out with them. Kia is with the dealer.

First off well optioned my 26k GT2 comes with Heated/ventilated 10 way power leather seats Sunroof 320 watt sound system 201 hp 0-60 did 6.2 with the dct Dual exhaust Red grille Auto brights Cons Transmission can be a bit grabby when slowing down you’ll feel it shift Build quality isn’t that great but that’s an issue with most new cars Sporty drive but not a sports car and is more fun at lower speeds then high speeds Fwd Pros Pleasant exhaust snort at lower speeds The 7 speed dct is obvs faster then the manual and I’ve shaved .5 of a second off what Kia says is the 0-60 Runs on 87 octane just fine Great value for price Massive trunk ( probably the biggest in its class)

Just bought the car 2 months ago, and si far a great car and great driving experience, sport mode is perfect for highway, normal is the mode I use the most for normal driving, now the smart not much a fan but still great mpg. And go with the GT Line is greatly equiped and the monthly payment will not hurt that much.

This car is fun to drive and it has power too. It's beautiful to look at and has more room than you would think and comfortable for passengers. The staff at Kia makes it so easy to buy. I give them a 10.
