I have been driving Fords but they stopped making cars. So switched to a 2023 Kia Forte. I love the mpg. I average 44-55 mpg, I do drive a lot of freeways. City getting 33-35 depending on red lights. I hit a deer and car manage to have corner bumper damage. So it did well in a crash. My biggest issue with this car is road noise, Apple CarPlay don’t stay connected and radio stinks with nothing much coming out of all the speakers except for the one on the dash. I have to turn the volume up to 45 when in my ford it was 10. Forget about jamming out because you’re not going to have it sound decent. Motor runs pretty smooth and when I first drove it, it was hard not to do 80 mph. The problem with that is car isn’t stable for high speed and vibrates. It does the purpose that I need it to do but if you’re looking for a sports car this is not for you. The backseats good for small children and probably adults on short distance for comfort but it is more compact than a sedan. I purposely bought this car because of the price, the gas mileage and some of the safety features. I drive a lot in my work and go through cars every 3 to 5 years.

I love every thing about this car from they styling,gas mileage and reliability. This car doesn’t even have a single rattle or a squeak. The only thing about this car that I hate is the auto headlights. The sensor is very very sensitive and will tell you your headlights are off just going under a tree on a bright sunny day. I went to the dealership about it but there is nothing they can do to fix it. This should be an option the can be controlled by the driver where you can completely turn this option off or adjust the sensitivity.

I am beyond thrilled with my brand new 2024 Kia Forte LXS! I recently purchased it and have been driving it for a couple of days now, and I must say, it's exceeded all my expectations. First of all, the exterior design is sleek and modern, and the sleek & classy Black color I chose looks stunning. The LED headlights and taillights give it a premium look that turns heads on the road. The interior is where this car truly shines. The cabin is spacious and comfortable, with plenty of legroom and cargo space. The seats are supportive and adjustable, and the materials used are top-notch. I love the 8-inch touchscreen display and the wireless Android Auto - it's so convenient! But what really sold me on this car is the ride. It's so smooth and quiet, even on rough roads. The handling is responsive and confident, and the fuel economy is impressive (I've been getting around 38 mpg in the city!). I also appreciate the safety features, like forward collision avoidance and lane departure warning. It will also drive for you. It gives me peace of mind driving on busy highways. Overall, I'm so happy with my purchase. The 2024 Kia Forte LXS is an incredible value for its price, and I feel like I got a luxury car at an affordable price. If you're in the market for a reliable and feature-packed compact sedan, look no further than the Forte LXS. Five stars and highly recommended!"

The 2023 Kia Forte LXS with the Technology package is a great car. It has all the whistles and bells, with a great price. Fun to drive, and great to look at.
