Why it stands out
The 2017 Kia Forte remains competitive in the compact sedan segment, appealing primarily due to its significant mid-cycle refresh, which has enhanced both its aesthetics and performance. Notably, the updated front-end design, new efficient engine options, and expanded feature set help the Forte stand out against rivals such as the Honda Civic and Mazda3. While its performance is generally adequate, its fuel efficiency improvements—29 mpg city and 38 mpg highway—are commendable for the class. The Forte offers a spacious interior with ample cargo room, an aspect that many buyers find advantageous. Additionally, the availability of modern technology features, including Apple CarPlay and Android Auto in higher trims, ensures that the Forte appeals to tech-savvy consumers. However, some trade-offs exist, particularly regarding rear suspension stiffness, which may not cater to all driving preferences.

So if you go with the forte and it says Apple car play or Android auto. Bring a cable and actually make sure! Ours said it and it didnt have it. We couldnt do a map upgrade and get it, cause our 2017 does not have navigation. If it did, the update wouldve worked.
