the one in the picture is red. The vehicle I looked at was white. There are 2 negatives. The major one is it one has one key and I am having to pay $205 extra to have a 2nd key made. This was almost a deal breaker. the 2nd is no heated seats which i can live without but is nice in the winter. The car is good value. ![]() Looking for a Used Forte in your area?CarGurus has 11,108 nationwide Forte listings starting at $1,795. |

2018 made changes that make driving this model smoother, quieter, and tighter. Pick up (acceleration) is quite decent for a small engine car. Super roomy cabin and the bucket seats are the most comfortable ever! Nice looking... Great value for the price. I am a Kia fan...this is my second (in 11 years!) |

2018 Kia Forte LX Review
GuruBWG2D says:
It was a rental car, not bad as I like the Nissan as a previous owner. Very solid well built car. vs2018 Nissan Sentra
2018 Kia Forte LX winning categories:
Power
Ranked 2018 Nissan Sentra worse.
"The Forte has about 40 horsepower more than the Sentra and gets better economy. Having that power on tap to pass is much safer and you dont eat up all your gas. Win-win."
Front Seats
Ranked 2018 Nissan Sentra worse.
"Im 62, better leg room, better lumbar support. The Forte seat fits the contour of a full sized person better."
Family Car
Ranked 2018 Nissan Sentra worse.
"Value, mpg was better, great for my grandkids, rear seats have a nice drop down and can lay split or entire back folds down for a longer item to be carried in the trunk."
Value
Ranked 2018 Nissan Sentra worse.
"The quoted Sentra didnt have power windows and high end stereo display options. I saved several hundred dollars, got 40 more horses and proved that the fuel economy was better by at least 5MPG so far. And then you compare the warranty and decide quickly that the Forte is easily the best value." |
2018 Kia Forte S Review
DWGURU says:
vs2018 Volkswagen Jetta 1.8T SEL FWD
2018 Kia Forte S winning categories:
Handling
Ranked 2018 Volkswagen Jetta 1.8T SEL FWD worse.
"Just a more solid ride and has selectable transmission and suspension. Sport mode is the key. Older Jetta just doesnt seem to handle as well and is louder and has more road noise. Youd expect the SEL model would be nicer / quieter. "
Value
Ranked 2018 Volkswagen Jetta 1.8T SEL FWD worse.
"Selectable transmission and suspension. Apple Car Play/Android Auto. Ride is much more solid and quieter. Sport mode handles better. " |
