people only hate because its a kia. if this were a Honda it would be getting nothing but praise.
Punkrock Jared your totally right.
Still got my 2014 ex almost 50K still running strong, always do maintenance on it. this car made me consider the KIA Hyundai brands once again that im in the market for an SUV. they are good cars.
A quality review from a quality guy! Keep up the good work!
Here in Australia they come with a full sized spare - you get 5 alloy wheels standard. The suspension is tuned for our roads as well - better handling than overseas models, I'm told. 75db at 100kph (62mph) makes it one of the quietest on road in its class. Certainly a bit quieter than the previous model which I recently traded on the new model, which had done 73,000kms without fault, rattle or squeak, mostly country miles. Folk who criticise Kia (or Hyundai) for being prone to falling apart need to drive them for a few years. They would be very surprised. I've driven European cars for decades - often in harsh conditions, but cannot see the value in them any more - apart from the pose factor - some of them look great, but so does this little Kia.
It's been two days since I got my 2014 Forte EX and...... I LOVE IT!!!! What a great little car. Well... it's not that little. I'm 6'2" tall and I feel very comfortable driving my Forte. I got the Aurora Black color with black leather seats. Love those leather seats. And if you are planning on getting this car.... you have to see it in that black color. with the chrome accents it really looks amazing. One friend of mine even told me that when he first saw it he thought it was a Lexus. Must be because of that Audi designer. It really looks way better up close. I did test drove the Mazda 3 (too expensive), the Focus (again.... too expensive if you load it up with features) and the Elantra (very different car than it's cousin the forte) and didn't liked any of those as much as I loved the Kia. The Forte really feels and looks like a way more expensive car..... for the price I paid for it. Took advantage of lots of bonuses since the dealer was liquidating the 2014 fleet to make way for the new 2015 models. So I saved a lot of money and still got a brand new car that I totally love.
I'm 6.2 and i got a white one. love at first sight.
Marius Doiron That's great man! I understand perfectly. It's been a little over two months and I couldn't be happier with my Forte. Hope you enjoy yours for many years! .
Ariel Cordero any update on your cars now?
Sure thing. It's been two years and I'm still in love with my Kia Forte EX. Haven't had any trouble with it. Nothing to complain about. Of course... I take really good care of the car. Maintenance always on time, car sleeps in garage and I don't drive like a maniac. lol Couldn't be happier.
Ariel Cordero sounds great haha thinking about getting a used 2014 EX. How many miles do you have on yours now?
Haha "Oh blank" handles love it! Good review I was actually looking at one of these and you provided a very thorough review.
Thanks for the review. We are looking to buy one. Also, HUGE CALVES MAN, NICE!
You have to wonder what he takes to get those kind of legs.
I LOVE your reviews!!! I don't even know you but after watching numerous amounts of your videos while trying to decide which car is right for me, I feel I can trust and value your opinion! thanks man!
Andrew Roller I appreciate that... thank you!
I never cease to be amazed by how Kia has improved their interiors year after year. The fit and finish look good all around. The rear armrest didnt seem flimsy. The fold down rear seat mechanism looked solid, and the steering wheel and dash switch gear feel is as good as, and sometimes better than, their competitors. And the Tiger Nose exterior styling has impressed me from launch.
Sadly, all that said, i wouldnt take this over a Focus, but it might steer me out of a base model Corolla or Civic.
"Three "Oh *blank* handles all the way around." Classic. Good review btw.
Hello Dave! Great review videos. I was wondering.... Kia Forte or Hyundai Elantra? Or Kia Forte Five or Elantra GT? From what I get on the review videos... they are pretty similar cars. But which one is better? I'm planning to get a new car (current one is a 2006 Scion XB) but I don't like the 2nd generation XBs that much. Thanks!
Great review Dave! Kinda miss the dynamic of you and Alex but you do much better when not distracted.
Robroy Fawcett Thank you, Robroy. My goal is to be as helpful as possible to the consumer with my detailed reviews and getting to the issues that matter most - Dave
Nice review. Bummer about the interior noise. Can't wait to see the Mazda 3 review when available.
Kia Forte 2.0 GDI is one of the fastest car in the segment.
Its 0-60 mph time is around 7.5 seconds.
The average in the segment is around 9 seconds.
Although it might not get the MPG of Civic or Corolla (both much slower),
it has very good power and good MPG.
Good review! A lot of help!
one of the best reviews of this cool car that I saw
how is the speaker system,? does it sound good?
Got mine now. Its Awesome. Great Review the way! Hands down KIA.
i live in saudi arabia ... MPG doesn't mean anything here. so from what i've seen, da MPG is da only down-side (so for me, there's no downsides at all) :D :D
His hot just saying and for two Ive drove a 2016 Kia Forte at work since I work at enterprise and I really liked it but I still love my 2010 Kia Soul
Good review... my only challenge to the fuel economy is that the Kia is about 30 HP more that it's competitors. More HP translates to diminished fuel eco.
Them calf muscles of yours ain't no joke see them thangs miles away lol 😂😂
🤣
😂😂😂😂
Nice review. I just got mine a couple of days ago. Loving it :D
Looking to buy this as my first car, how did yours hold up ?
@@ilychawn I sold it 3 years ago, the only issue I had was a knocking sound on the power steering but I only had to replace something called "rubber coupler" which is very cheap, less than 5 dollars. Besides that it behaved well.
Do you know wich blue that forte is?
I'm hoping you will be able to review the 2014 Kia Forte5 SX (hatchback).
Dave, I was hoping you'd do a review on the 2014 Toyota corolla. Thanks.
nice options , nice review , and nice car :P
Hello is kia save more insurance and fuel economic,because I'm thinking yo get one with manual transmission
i love your reviews. its better you do it alone.
Swap the original air filter for a K&N filter and boom! You got that extra gas mileage you're talking about. I have been averaging a bit over 30 mpg of mixed driving. Took it on a long trip to the coast and averaged around 38 mpg!!
Same thing i did but i also removed the second air filter that is on the top of the air box. more power.
You are much better than the Fast Lane guys.
Dave, please try to get your hands on a new 2014 Mazda3. They are just hitting showrooms now and so far getting hugely positive reviews!
I gotta say, I like the desogm of the previous gen Forte better. If you put that interior on the 1st gen Forte, you'd have arguably the best car in the segment.
Mine has 171000 KMS on the ODO it runs like a charm no problems I main it very well drive like an old lady.
how is it now? I just bought mine used & it has 164k so i'm just trying to get some insight on how it runs past that amount
@@BrooklynKing22 The car now has 220000 KMS on it. No mechanical problems or AC problems so far. How ever I did replace both front wheel bearings and both front Shock Absorbers because these were just worn out. I change the oil and filters as per manufacturers guide so it is always good to do preventive maintenance on KIA vehicles.
how many inches display in this car??4.37
Nice review. Would love to see the Kia Forte 5 SX be reviewed.
Doesn't seem to be many since the car has officially been released. Kind of disappointed Kia has not made a bigger effort tot advertise this car.
supercooled That's true, I have not seen one on the road. Unless it's not been released yet. Would love to see one. And would love to see it compared against the hatchback offerings from Mazda, Ford, etc.
***** It is funny i have had my 14 forte for 4 months now and everywhere i go people stare at it like they have never seen one, but even i have only seen 1 other in my area which i think is awesome. It seems like a very good made car the materials are good quality feeling to touch, plenty enough power and good gas mileage only negative is the noisy tires it comes with.
So J Mills , do you have the sedan, coupe or hatch? Still have not seen a hatchback, saw a coupe the other day and sedans I see every now and then. But still have not spotted a hatch.
Autoguide has a review of the hatchback SX.
I like end of your review , SupermaN.
what about the dart??
What about sadety ratings?
Sir can you please make a review of nissan almera..thanks a lot sir
Excellent Review I Just Purchased The Kia Forte 2014
Dexter Greene how has the car been for these past 3 years?
@ D D.Greene Films how is your Kia doing? How many miles do you make on tank of gas?
@@babycakes8434 Hello,My Kia is doing ok,I have 140,000 miles on it right now,I've had a few ware and tare but other than that no real problems.
@@babycakes8434 As of right now I can go about 300 miles on one tank of gas.
@@dd.greenefilms2598 Is that in town or highway?
I want it. And the car too!
But id still really like to get the new jetta.. Drove it and i loved it so much
This is a compelling choice for a car in this class, which I am a customer of. I like most of the exterior styling, the interior and trunk roominess, and would love a cooled drivers seat (sorry sweaty passenger). However, I find the interior styling to be plain which makes it already look a bit dated. For such low powered engines, the fuel economy is lackluster. And, I have also heard the ride can be fairly harsh. All things which would make me think twice about purchasing this car.
173hp is a pretty high amount for a non-sporting 2.0L N/A engine
Just bought a 2014 Kia Forte finally upgrading after driving a Hyundai tiburon for 9 years
How many miles was it and how is it now ?
@@LeoTheGreatest1 under 1,200 miles drives like a champ I had a new motor put in when I bought it
the back looks like the ford fusion :o
Kia Forte also known as Kia K3 in Korea & Kia Cerato in Europe.
So just wonder if the Forte, K3 and Cerato all the same size?
did you forget the parking brakes?
up here in canada, i'd prefer not to have a "lower" car. makes it hard to drive in the winter.
So, as for fuel economy goes, it's what you do on the road and not what the makers write that are the good numbers. I particulary like the features we get in it (cooled seats! Nav). Plenty of room back there (contrary to the Focus), and big cargo room. Enough engine to have some fun (makes me forget Corolla exist). Only thing is the price (25k and it drops like hell after). Just wait a couple of years just like my, buy a used one with low milage and low price, you'll be plenty happy.
Arcticarc1 That's what I intend to do. I'm planning to get a slightly used KIA (2014+) to replace my '06 Chevy Cobalt.
Why are u mad if his wearing his eye glass in the whole review. His handsome.. LOL ;)
Paulo Tan not everyone likes putting things in there anal cavity and calling it normal ok?
Forgot to mention the 40+ Cruze ECO as a comparison.
Superman approves this car...matches his suit :)
The Chevy Cruze with the 1.4 turbo is junk. Especially the turbo
My comment regarding fuel economy: Manufacturers values are worth nothing, they are always wrong.
Cabin noise is always the downside with this and it's twin, the Hyundai Elantra.
The nightmares people are having with these korean cars are sometimes too much to ignore not to mention how hard it is to work on and if you miss 1 oil change by 1 mile it voids the guarantee
I'm thinking this is what Clark Kent drives. :)
To me the exterior design has been borrowed too heavily from the Honda Civic sedan. The interior is too grimmy for me, still showing the KIA's ambition to move up in the market.
Love the car. Hate that this guy did an entire car review wearing sunglasses.
I test drove one for shits and giggles. Man this thing can keep up I was tossing it in the corners and everything very fun to drive little car I was surprised!!!
i like the car, just wish it could be better in fuel economy... :(
It actually looks better than the focus
Nice legs, Dave. Can you comment on the intelligent key fob as it relates to the access. I'm sure you're aware on Mitsubishi Lancer cars, the proximity keys actually lock/unlock the doors using their proximity sensors so you don't even need to press the button. I was wondering if the Kia system is the same?
Thanks
I owned one - you still have to press the button on the door or intelli-key for access.
USE THE PARKING BRAKE.
What's its bether ...... Honda civic sedan 1.8 vs kia forte ?
Kia Forte is way better in terms of price,space room,technology/feauteres,and support and servicing!Hope this helps!
Kia by far. Honda is a big name and so popular and over rated.they sell u short because we are suckers.
What does "positioning lights" mean? I asked two sales reps and they said the LEDs are not used for daytime running lights. Why would you not use LEDs that use less power and produce the whitest and most distinctive output as your daytime running lights? Either every other car manufacturer is wrong or Kia knows something we don't.
Only the Ex trim level of the forte has led daytime running lights, but all trim levels have led parking lights (the lights that turn on when you put your headlight switch to the first position, although you'll also see them with low beams on. The Nissan Sentra has the same thing.. it has LEDs on the headlights but they're parking lights not daytime running lights.
Ricardo Gutierrez
Ricardo Gutierrez On our Forte EX, the first click position is parking lights and the last click is auto. I keep it on the first click during the daytime because I like the look and I think the LEDs stand out (at least until every carmaker uses these). I think that the LEDs should be part of the auto mode and the daytime running light mode. When it gets darker outside, the other lights (halogen) should come on as well.On the 2014 Toyota Highlander LE plus, the first click is auto, although there are no LEDs.
I need to replace the spark plug
Look at them calves damn, whats that workout?
How do you do? You're A Joy. different place What's your opinion about that, guys
Still got mine with 220000 miles and it runs like new
Nice
Love my wife's civic
seems like you could get an optima for that kind of price...
This guy is buff
no spare tire. wow.
you lost me at cabin noise, no excuse for a 2015 model having road noise.
frank james it's not that bad. Any car with low profile tires have some road noise period
2014
Ain’t this a cerato?
what the hells the point in it coming with two engine choices when they're barely different?
Barley different? The second motor is more powerful than the basic one. Price is also a big difference as well.
decent review. but you didn't really say how the car drives or handles.
looks like a pretty vanilla car though. it seems like every car company uses the same rear tail lights these days..
brad cool Are you looking to purchase one?
change your name to brad fanboy
NO spare??? huh...
nice knees
Why does everyone test the automatic? :(
If I were to get this car I would rather get the civic cause it has better fuel economy
still better looking than civic or corolla
I can't imagine this guy driving a KIA. He should be in a JEEP or something.
Pass.
The new Forte has less power but better aero
He could have made this a very short video ,,, "This is a KIA Soul in every way except the styling."
Brian Tracy It's really not though...
The interior has really, out of date, styling
Kia forte2014.kia does not stand behind their warranty.Bought new 2014 kia forte after 5000 miles paint started chipping off.Took car to dealer try to say it was my fault.Stated they have no paint warranty on they're car.Please take it for granted. This is not a joke!. Took car to two paint proffesional body shops bought stated was kia manufactures bad paint job or hail damages resurfaced paint job.
kia forte car drive clean
pull that crap out of the trunk well and a full size spare fits.

Remove the sunglasses please..
Take off your glasses and focus more on concrete technical specs. Slow down.
dont buy the kia. they are pos cars. i have seen hundreds of video clips on kias not starting. bit that just here say right.? well i have 2014 kia forte bought it with 22,000 and now as of 9/18/16 i have had no problems. other then the car running like crap. i have taken it to kia 5 tines and they keep telling me there is no problems but yet it shakes and jumps. Hesitates to go has no pick up. now as of 9/18/16 car will not start. been fine till i drove less then a miles up the road to waffle house and came out car dead. people have clips all over youtube with kia's not starting.
Daniel Miller lol if a 2014 car with 22,000 isn't starting, it's definitely got something to do with the owner(s). Kia are one of the more reliable car companies. 22,000 miles should be running almost like it's brand new. You definitely got robbed.
Still got my 2014 ex almost 50K still running strong, always do maintenance on it. this car made me consider the KIA Hyundai brands once again that im in the market for an SUV. they are good cars.
Daniel Miller I have to agree I love my Kia (trading it in today) but I’ve put too much money into it, a lot of electrical problems and won’t start randomly. Deff wouldn’t recommend on reliability
