2021 Kia Forte EX 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl CVT)

The Kia Forte purchase was a cost efficient and affordable purchase after a hit and run totaled out my van. I look at all the models and settled on the ex. Considered the GT but it only had the added spoiler where the one I landed on didn’t. It was the last one they had for the ex with in reasonable driving range from where I was stranded till I got new wheels. Now fast forward to one year. The handling is good not great and has room for adjustment or upgrades. The shifter is not for those who reverse and can shift to drive fast. Road noise isn’t great quality for cars but It doesn’t make the car bad. The fact that I like to feel the road when I drive is a personal preference of mine. Since I drove trucks and a van with high roof adjusting the seat as high as it can go I am constantly hitting my head at drive through and atm even though I’m only 5ft2. The seats are nice could still be better. The subscription is ok but the lite subscription could do more. Definitely needs a daytime runner shut of option. Tech inside the car is a work in progress if they are to complete with other auto companies. Love that it came with rims and not those cheap plastic covers. Also with key locking lug nuts.I’m giving it four star cause it is a rather nice car and drives great for the not so speed racer type. Definitely sluggish when taking off from red light or entering the highway for me but it is under $30,000 brand new. Not a bad buy for me, I wish I could talk to Kia about some of those design flaws I see and tech flaws and make this car better.

For the price. this car can't be beat. Awesome standard features in the upgrade trim, great gas milage and a pleasure to drive. Plenty of power for most people, looks good and has huge trunk space plus lay down back seats so if needed you can haul 10Ft objects. Then there is that warrantee!
