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.

It was expensive for me, especially since my insurance went up to $200/month for full coverage, but having only owned it for less than a month I already absolutely love it. It has a smooth ride even on rough terrain, and the auto-steering works amazingly well to keep you in your own lane. The learning curve is a bit higher since most everything is tethered to the touch screen, but after playing with it I eventually got the hang of the features. I love the manual seat controls for up/down, I also would have preferred manual windows but it wasn't an option (I'm not a fan of automatic windows or seat controls as they usually go out first). Also, the passenger seat requires the seatbelt to be used if transporting something heavy enough to set off the sensor, else you have to sit through 100 of those annoying 'seatbelt warning' beeps, and you can't turn it off. You also cannot turn off the passenger airbag (not that I have found anyway). But aside from these few annoyances, it's a great car with great gas mileage. I bought after-market seat covers and all-weather floor mats for a LOT less than the factory ones.

I got this car brand new off the lot and it's been great. It's an affordable little car that rides smooth and great on gas mileage. I have a long daily drive to work. And it's been great so far. Absolutely love it.
Neat looking, good performance, great mileage and

The styling is a head turner and the standard features are usually extra on other automobiles in this class. Well pleased!

Sounds sucks

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.
