2023Forte gt
by Christian on Friday, February 02, 2024
Great car quick for what it is with the 7speed and 1.6turbo the GT was do believe it should have power windows besides that has tons of tech and safety features I’ve done a 10 hour road trip seats are comfortable plus it’s a great price for heated and cooled seats beat other brands for the price - 1.0
No way
by Julian on Wednesday, December 20, 2023
Bought this car new, it lives in the shop with concerns being new. Trail lights getting moisture in them. Terrible seal they used. Headlight replacement from moisture. Windows fog up to easily, and always keeping the defroster on. Transmission feels terrible. Gas mileage not the best. Seats are really hard and uncomfortable. I, don't like this car being a cvt after all. The price I paid for this forte was a mistake. Should of bought a better car. These Kia cars have a bad resale value. - 1.0
The cheapest vehicle out there
by Hermit on Thursday, December 28, 2023
Things falling apart interior. Tail lights getting moisture along with the headlight. Seats have cheap stitching. Long road trips, seats are uncomfortable. To much road noise, so it's not insulated inside. Stereo system is beyond garbage. Manuel seat adjustment being a 2023 forte Gt-Line. The entire car is cheap just like hyundai.
