Lol tricked one of these into a project car . Still runs phenomenal. Crazy when I got it in 2018 absolutely everyone was talking shit and ain’t nun of em got they the whips they drove no more 😂😭 first car and fell inlove with it , took care of me through everything and still only got like 50k miles on it 😭🔥🔥🔥 go head kiaaaa 😈🤞🏾
@@sebastianrios1221 sorry for the late response just take care of it! Regular oil changes all that! YES I still have her to this day 80k miles just needed to swap out some things no more than around500-600$ absolutely Purring!!
I bought my mother the LX with the EX options so it has the Upgraded 17 inch rims touch screen Siri’s radio all the EX trim and Luxury’s with the Base price.
This dude has clearly never driven a manual. My 2018 is well broken in and I average 52 mpg on my 150 mile commute round trip every day and I can keep up with other vehicles so called sporty compacts. I wouldn't change my 6 speed manual for nothing especially CVT's
How many 2017 kia forte lx from day 1 new leaks when its raning and car when your washing it are smelling gas in the car at times are pull out from a stop sing to cross the road are hwy want go mooto are transmission just a lite real Rev of the engine then how to let fully off the pedal and smash again for it to go crazy almost got killed
TruthHasSpoken The highway mpg on these is incredible. I did even better in an Elantra. Hell, I got 36+ in a V6 Charger between Oakland and Denver this summer. That's shocking.
I have a 2018 S model and what he said about the suspension is not true. It sticks to the road very well absorbs shock with ease and is smooth and quiet. I'm not sure what this guy is talking about.
Yes car still unde new new warranty just says in the yard low miles it just smells bad kid won't replace it or the real tail lights and leaking so I won't have to pay about four to five thousand have it fixed Merry Christmas to me
But any way like kia sorry we can't help you like we said we get it handled everything's going to be all right weeks and weeks go by I call they call come get your car kia is not going to fix it your car been in car wreck and you should have reported it no my car's never been in a wreck it's never been hit in the rear ever or run into pretty much said that yes it has and I'm lying there you go I didn't have to fix it after 7 or 8 days no car no rental true story
My 2015 Kia Forte EX has everything that LX, S, EX has. All put together to make my ‘15 Forte lol plus It has more horses and lbs of Torque for being a ‘15. Why is it that the newer the car the less HP and torque???
So much to tell but don't let me run it for all I want u to now no online refresh it to be clean some how there recall s people they hide them look and u will find the old wise one said to me that is what I did many many . kia lovers I wanted to be but kia want let me 4 real life .not a hater just another sad Kia owne .r a human person truth is out there
im just getting a new car and the best options are still these two options, most people say go with a forte. the forte test drove very well, not sure about the sentra, but lots of people say its too underpowered.
I got a loner 2017 Forte with just 33000 miles on it and its a piece of junk ! Road noise is beyond defining! Handles like crap! Gas peddle is so stiff its annoying! . Why anyone would pay almost 30 grand for this car is beyond me!
complaining about road noise in a sedan without any form of noise cancellation is like yelling that a plane engine is too loud and you didn't bring earplugs. its kinda on you.
Yes, you are wrong. Because Hyundai, although having almost the same engine is a better car both design and driving wise. 2018 Subaru Impreza also ranks much higher than Forte in both interior styling and overall durability and reliability. So.... Yes you are wrong if you think Kia Forte deserves 3rd spot among the compact cars.

I love my car. I feel like it gets very good gas mileage and it is a very beautifully designed car.
I have an ex and it runs beautiful..I'm so glad I chose this over the Corolla
Doesn't the Toyota have a CVT ?!?!
I bought my mother the LX with the EX options so it has the Upgraded 17 inch rims touch screen Siri’s radio all the EX trim and Luxury’s with the Base price.
I love my forte it's amazing car and beautifull never change my car

CVTS are JUNK

I rented a new Forte from Avis and got 46 mpg on the highway. Overall too small for me but the gas mileage was pretty amazing.

after that review,he has been put on waivers,lol
This is a 2017 model not a 2018 model
Agreed I just got a 18 forte S as well . It drives nice
2017 definitely has some bounce on rougher roads but it's pretty smooth on the the highway. The road noise is 100% true, however.
Got a used LX 3 months ago, no frills but great gas mileage.
The engine is smooth and quiet 👍👍👍
Amazing car
I had a 2010 KIA Forte Coup SX and all I did was change the tires to Street Slicks and that car was steady on fast hard turns.
muntaser barsoom What happend to it?

finally just having to replace my first car (a honda pilot for 03), the manual transmission forte seems like a great option.

My wife's 2016 Forte5 EX has 173 HP at the engine. The 2017s seem to have less power.
Mybe it is because of the trim,the HP varies,,,

The exterior looks bland. If you said it was a 2010 nobody would question you.
Ivan Vojt They smartened it up a bit, but I'd prefer this over death-by-design overstyling.
Wait until the 2019 new model comes out this fall, it looks like a mini Stinger
I know the reason Kia is selling cars,because Hyundai own most of the shares,but Hyundai will notput in a high end engine on a Kia,
l that probably not going to end awesome but I pray.
I wanted to be a happy owner and tried and tried but I'm in a nightmare
Same color way I got 😭😭
The hatch is better looking and has the 1.6T but be careful! It can get pricey and into VW GTI land
vwmatt33 If you find yourself in GTI land - buy a GTI.
Car cover yes on number six
Kia and Hyundai really struggling with fuel economy. Really.
Why are they still so trashy?!?! The plastic sucks
Since you are rich, buy $100,000+ cars and shut up.
How does it compare to the Elantra?
20 years ago, when I was a kid, I didn’t even wanna ride in a Kia
And now they’re one of my favourite cars
Since when did a manual transmission get worse MPG than an automatic?
Automatic transmissions have been better for years. The future is now, old man.
@@NeapolitanApe Tell that to anyone with a CVT transmission...
A while ago, modern automatic transmissions are much more effecient.
should i get a 2017 kia forte lx or a 2017 nissan sentra sv
the Forte, sentra are very weak and small. Btw I drove both of these cars
im just getting a new car and the best options are still these two options, most people say go with a forte. the forte test drove very well, not sure about the sentra, but lots of people say its too underpowered.
The problem with the Forte is the Elantra. The Elantra Sport for a similar price as this ex forte is superior in almost every way.
Blake Swan I don't know. I've driven an Elantra cross-country twice and I wasn't anywhere near as impressed, other than the mileage.
In my opinion even though both are almost the same cars I believe the Kia’s are put together better.

greg ackerman oh really? How is it holding up to this day?
complaining about road noise in a sedan without any form of noise cancellation is like yelling that a plane engine is too loud and you didn't bring earplugs. its kinda on you.
Isn't the SX the top trim?
Blake Swan Only in the Forte5 hatch.
Michael Perkins oh okay. My fault. Did not realize they separated the 2 as such
Blake Swan Strange, right?
The Cruze has a much better attractive front end. Plus the Cruze offers more for less $$$$.
Along with less quality and reliability for less $$$$ :-)
Yes, you are wrong. Because Hyundai, although having almost the same engine is a better car both design and driving wise. 2018 Subaru Impreza also ranks much higher than Forte in both interior styling and overall durability and reliability.
So.... Yes you are wrong if you think Kia Forte deserves 3rd spot among the compact cars.
I have the 17 lx and it handles very poorly on freeway.
My forte is comfy & fast great on gas
Forreal but its a nice car.
HP and torque at 6200 RPM?? No thanks, horrible.. no Toyota
