At about $26,500 (including $1500 'market adjustment'), I got a brand new, 201hp tutbo-charged, fully loaded, great-looking, fun car, that gets excellent fuel economy. I was looking for a new car with a manual transmission. There are very few cars left that are available with a manual. Most are either high-end Audis, BMW's, or Porches, or bare bones base models from Toyota and Nissan. The Kia Forte GT hits the sweet spot. Very inexpensive, but loaded with the 201hp turbo engine, power moonroof, Sytex leather interior, Apple CarPlay, heated seats, led lights inside and out, and a Harmon Kardon sound system. I did pay $700 extra for the manual transmission, but it was well worth it. It's an absolute blast to drive and I don't feel like I'm driving a cheap car. It has plenty of power, handles well, and I'm getting around 30mpg. It's very comfortable and has a lot more room than it looks like it has. I've bought more expensive new cars in the past, but the Forte GT is my favorite.

Okay so here's the deal. I sold my 2024 Nissan Frontier pickup because I didn't like it! And I needed something with good fuel economy. So I looked at the Kia Forte. And the fuel economy is outstanding. I'm getting 40 miles per gallon. I drive 80 miles a day plus to and from work. The car is very comfortable, I love the options that it has. I'm very pleased with my purchase. This is the first Kia that I have ever owned. I have over 1,100 miles on it now. I did the first break in oil change at about 300 plus miles. I plan to change the oil again at 2,000 miles to make sure we get any break in material out of the oil pan. I am running Royal Purple motor oil and OEM Kia filter. Then I plan to put it on a 5000 Mi oil change schedule. Do not buy into this 7500 10,000 Mi oil change garbage that's all nonsense by the EPA! If you want to keep your car in good shape use synthetic oil and change it every 5,000 miles. I really like my Kia! If you're looking for a budget friendly car with a great warranty the Kia will fit the bill! I give the Kia car five stars!

Picked up the car two days ago. We bought the black-on-black GT Line 1.6L turbo. Kia put in a wide variety of technology and features. My son will be the primary driver however I did drive it home. Pros- Technology, Fuel Economy, Brilliant looking, Value, and the warranty. Cons- Road noise and the ride can be rough over bumpy roads. I expected Kia to do a bit better in that aspect. The Honda Civic Sport and the next level up have the same noise and bumpy issues. Honda offers only a 3/36 warranty. If you want a better ride and less noise you are going to pay a lot more money. Overall - Highly Recommended

FROM A TREX TO A FORTE

My daily driver is a TREX, however for my job I drive ALOT, so I needed a commuter car. I have had my 2023 KIA FORTE for 2 weeks and have 2500 miles on it already. It rides nicely, looks nice and the gas mileage is incredible! Seats are comfy, and interior is suprisingly very roomy.
