Well built solid performance. I use the convience features ie. cruise control, Sirius Xm radio, trip planner & logger features. Gas mileage is fair 27 mpg I commute to various job sites and have had a good experience. Compared to a Honda Accord liked the Kia better.Feb 25, 2014

This car was great both on long road trips and on short drives. The only complaint is that the cargo space fills up fast. I could fit 1 large suit case in the trunk with another small one. The car had pretty fun handling and never felt underpowered. It was a great example of what a compact sedan should be.Feb 24, 2014

I am very glad a bought this car, I have to drive it to work on inclement days when I can't ride my bike( motorcycle). It handles great, quite a bit a power for it's size and very nimble and quick. My only complaint would be the 6 speed transmission. You cannot use traditional methods like you would any other car. You have to give it ample throttle or it will die on you. Kia did a great job on designing this car with the exception of the addition of the clutch protection valve, which make driving it at low speeds a chore, but the engine rewards you with power when you need it. But aside from that it is a fun car to drive around.Dec 05, 2012

I like this car, I feel smart that I bought it. It is loaded with almost all of the features Kia offered at the time. I jam with my iPod, cruise with the manual mode on the shifter. It can reach 40 mpgs on a full tank on the highway. Usually I get 33 to 36 if I drive it slow and steady. I commute with it 40 miles and the seat is a comfortable place to be. The view out over the piano black dash pieces is open feeling, not constrained. I like the acceleration and the brakes. The car can come alive and accelerate to highway speeds faster than you think it would. It is not a Mazda 3, it can't take a turn that flat, It is not a Corolla because it is way better looking. It is just as reliable as a Honda Civic even though people have not given Kia that credibility yet. And regardless of credibility, it is covered by an extensive warranty.Sep 07, 2012

Overall rating on the Forte was better than all cars in its class. The sticker price was thousands less than all the others in its class plus the Forte came with great options such as Bluetooth hands free phone, sunroof, traction control, stability control, heated seats and all the other common features. It also came with 4 wheel disk brakes with 16” aluminum spoked rims. I wish it would have come with better quality tires but overall it has been a great value and recommend to anyone looking for a new car.Sep 24, 2010

I love acceleration that gives. It great on gas and have huge tank for less fill up.
This car is fun to drive and I love electronics of the car. It hooks up everything like my phone and IPod to car. I can control everything from my steering wheel.

This car attracts a lot of attention as to price,accessories etc.It is fun to drive although my wife detests a manual transmission. If I could choose again I would have bought an automatic.Nov 23, 2009

it has a 1600cc , 124hp which is very good in urban driving.
it has a steptronick 4-speed transmition.
it got nice looks but a little bit weak body
the seats are a little lower to the ground than the previous model.

Excellent gas mileage, fun to drive, wondering about transmission possibly slipping, it hesitates sometimes in between gears, not always, this is 6 speed automatic transmissionSep 14, 2009
