Why it stands out
The 2023 Kia Forte stands out in the compact sedan segment by delivering outstanding value without compromising essential qualities. Notably, it offers competitive fuel economy—up to an estimated 34 mpg in the base model—which is complemented by a comfortable interior that retains a modern feel with user-friendly controls. The Forte's robust 10-year/100,000-mile warranty is a significant appeal for budget-conscious buyers. Its performance options include a base engine producing 147 horsepower and a sportier 201-horsepower turbocharged engine for the GT trim, allowing buyers to select a powertrain that suits their driving style. While some users have noted a less premium feel to its interior, the overall build quality and attractive pricing make it a compelling choice in its class.

Good value, feels a little cheap but it’s totally understandable since it is the base model. Feels great also for tall people, enough leg room even in the back. Trunk is spacious.

I’d compare it to a Nissan Sentra which my husband has, but the one thing I like about his car that I don’t have in the forte is the automatic slowing down if a car is too close in front of you. Other than that, the car is really nice

I compared this car to the Toyota corrola and landed on the forte because I think it provides more features and value, including the 100k mile warranty.
