Elevate Your Daily Drive with the 2023 Kia Forte LXS: Style, Efficiency, and Advanced Tech for the Modern CommuterExperience the perfect blend of styl...
I've had my Forte LXS for just over 2 months now. What a great car! It drives quiet and smooth. I really haven't driven it any long distances yet so around town my MPG is about 29. When we visit our kids out of state, we'll get some highway numbers. I'm familiar now (about time) on how to use all the safety features and how to use scroll through the cluster on the dashboard to customize … my preferences. At 68 years old I was a bit concerned the technology would overwhelm me but I caught on after a while. The 147 HP is more then enough for my wife and I. We're in our 60's, both retired and in no hurry to get anywhere. But that doesn't stop me from occasionally going out for a drive and enjoying the sport mode a bit. The 4 star rating would be 5 had the car come with a spare tire and not just a tire inflator. Also it would have been nice to have an air vent and USB port in the back seat area for when we have our grandkids with us. Good looking car in the royal blue or as I call it GIANTS blue color. I'm happy with my Forte and hope it lasts me for at least 10 years or so. Again, great car!
