I looked at various models in this price range and the Forte LXS has all of the features I was looking for and more safety features than you would expect at this price. It comes with alloy wheels and not plastic wheel covers like some of the competition. It’s well worth the price we paid and rating 5 stars.

Price was excellent for a vehicle loaded with all the modern technology, fuel efficiency (experiencing 41 mpg on average so far) and size I wanted.

I am seeing majority of the reviews on here and honestly none go in depth with their answers (at least for what I know.) I commute with this car and have 6k miles on it currently, however i could have different taste than others but I would say this car is great. Everyone who is saying they are getting 42 mpg good for them but they're probably going soft and the speed limit or under. I get good boost and often go between 70-100 (some higher speeds to test.) With these speeds I range from 28-35 mpg and I put 93 in mine. I have had 93 in since the start of the first empty gallon so I'm not sure as to if this makes it slower but I don't see how it would affect worse when its cleaner for the car however I personally like to hear the whirling of the turbo, the ride is smooth and it does great for blocking outside noise. It is smaller and I wouldn't recommend unless your kids are out of a carseat as I'm 5'5 and I like my sear back further which gives little room back there however my spouse (I'm female he is male) keeps his closer but lowered so you get your own setting. It picks up speed surprisingly well, and takes turns well as it has been pressed with a gulf and over took it. (This driver could have just been bad with turns but it still goes to show it holds itself down)

2500 miles,,2023 Kia Forte Oil light comes on, engine light comes on, car stops. Luckily not on interstate. Now wife and I are gunshy about driving it once it’s ‘fixed’. Credibility In the car is not high anymore. Don’t they have quality controls?

I've had my 2023 Kia Forte GT-line for almost two years. It's a great compact car for the value that you get. My only issues is the handle on the car when you try to speed (65+ mph), and you have to keep pulling the wheel in the opposite direction or it'll drift. Not that much lumbar support, and the backseat is kind of small. I wish they forfeited some of the trunk space to make the back seat bigger (trunk is huge if that's important to you). Great on gas, I have to drive on the highway everyday for work so that's definitely a plus. This could be a cute 1st car for someone just starting to drive. The blind spot protection feature is a love/hate thing because the car will literally brake/stop while you're foot is on the gas and it makes this obnoxious noise, even if you have enough space to go around/pass/merge another car. Then you have to switch gears just to get the damn thing to move again smh. Even if you turn it off, the safety feature is still overrides you because of the cameras built into the car. Overall it's good car, could be better but you definitely get what you pay for being that it's affordable in comparison to other brands.
