I have a 2023 Kia Forte that I bought as my friend recommended it. There is a major issue with the volume / sound on all trims of the 2023 Kia Fortes'. You have to really turn the volume knob to about 30-35 to hear sound from the speakers. I noticed others have a similar issue. The service manager at the local dealership said the issue has to be fixed by KIA by issuing a software update. There is nothing the dealership can do. That sucks. Exploring legal options. Now the voice recognition stopped working. I was told it is affecting others. Would not recommend a KIA, especially a Forte. The USB module had to be replaced as it was also acting up. Another known issue. Too many problems to deal it. Not able to enjoy the car to its fullest capability.

Purchased a KIA Forte 23 GT when our 19' Hyundai Elantra GT N-Line was wrecked. Loved that EGT but the model was discontinued. Didn't care for the poor performance of the new Kona N- Line....and knew my wife would not lijke the loud and rough ride of the Kona N.... plus the high price tag. the KIA has plenty of zip but still economical. Wife likes it because it set up a little higher than the Hyundai, giving her better vision in traffic. BTW: don't settle for Forte N-Line, its all show with no go. My opinion.

The car is pretty quick, has great tech and comfortable seats. Weakness are that its small and the ride quality isnt the best. Like the ride quality is so bad that on normal drives the car can be uncomfortable to me. Im honestly considering trading it in. I'm sure the engineers didn't put any care into making sure the ride was tolerable.
