Love my car

My Kia Forte is great. I has all the things that a high ticket car has and it's extremely well priced. If you're looking for a small (not so small) reasonably priced, rides great and is pretty good looking, then the Kia Forte is the car for you. I bought mine at Murray Kia in Conshohocken.

I leased a 2019 Kia forte and wanted to buy it. Scott B. And staff figured a low payment on 2022 Kia forte. My retirement car is just right color, size, and all the bells I need,

Smooth ride with great cost-performance ratio

Bought the GT-LINE for commute, smooth drive with great safety features, combined with sporty looks and the new KIA logo, satisfied so far after a month. Only slight downside to me is the sort-of-sluggish acceleration, but what do you expect on a compact sedan?

Good, Stylish, and Basic Car

Have had 2022 Forte LXS for more than a year now and it has proven itself to be a stylish, reliable, comfortable, and economical car. The 2.0 four-banger and CVT don't make it a hotrod, but it is quite adequate except with four people inboard--then it struggles. Economy is great, often see 40+ mileage at 65 mph and 30+ in the city. One thing I appreciate is the lack of an auto-start-stop that so many cars have to improve fuel economy (but will wear out your engine). A manual handbrake is a plus, too, in my opinion. Two things, however, may cause an early trade if the Forte. First, it's crash ratings are below the competition. Second, these cars are very easy to steal and there is a national trend to do so, resulting in very high insurance rates. Another hit is the lack of a spare tire in lower trim levels. I guess that is the price you pay for the car's low MSRP. In all, a great effort by Kia at this price point.
