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.

Very smooth ride. I had an Optima previously that I loved so knew I wanted to shop with Kia again. The Forte is roomy and has a lot of great safety features to keep me and my family sade on road trips.

I don't know if my car is just quirky but already the drivers side rear window only works intermittently. Also, the trunk release on the drivers side floor only works intermittently as well. I don't like all of the warning alerts. It's a distraction while driving. It's just too much. I mean, a warning goes off if there's risk of ice when the forecast calls for a typical winter day. Like I don't need a warning popping up telling me there might be ice in winter. I do not like the brake assist feature. I know what I sew when I'm driving and I don't need a car to brake for me when it "thinks" I'm going to hit something. The brake assist causes more of a disruptionion while driving than just letting the driver drive. When it rains, water falls into the car and onto the inside door panels. The design is terrible and I'm going to have to spend money on rain guards to prevent this issue. This car doesn't have much get up & go. All in all, I'm not impressed with the forte and I plan on getting a different vehicle once it's paid off.

Absolutely LOVE my car. The radio is nice, pre-installed speakers are great and the interior is great. The car drives so smoothly. My 2018 forte lasted 120k miles in 4 years, no issues, sadly totalled it despite being almost paid off. Hoping the same thing for this but any car with more features is gonna be costly to fix such as a nice radio is more expensive to replace and safety features will be costly to fix. Cons: Windows-- Whoever designed these windows needs to get fired haha. I feel they intentionally designed them poorly so you buy rain guards. I've never used rain guards and always have my window cracked even in rain cause I like fresh air. If it's already been raining, I have to wipe my entire door above it, cause if I crack my window and drive, a waterfall pours in my car. Safety feature 1(Driver assistant) ‐‐ they told me to use it on the highway but I turn it on always because I pay for it, I'd like to use it. It could be the one second I need on a dark rainy night to help me. ANYWAY -- I drive the same back roads and some days it can read the lines sometimes in can't. Its not good when there's multiple lanes that open up for an exit on the highway. It will stop immediately with no warning if the turns to curvey or it can't read lines. The light is helpful to know if it's active but I think I feature that dings when it turns off but because it's so inconsistent, that might be annoying until they Improve it Safety feature 2(collision warning) -- there have been times it went off and I wasn't even close. There's been times where I was close and it didn't turn on. Suggestion‐ they need a remote system that can update the safety features and create a learning system for it. I don't think Personal Con: Smaller center console, dash storage and trunk compared to 2018 Forte
Excellent value

Our 2022 Kia Forte GT-Line provides us a great value in that it’s both sporty and SAFE (many high tech safety features). Love the look, the way it drives and all that it provides in terms of peace of mind.
