I'm probably one of the few that really likes the design of the car, especially the rear. Its just long enough to not look like a hatchback. Reminds me of my CTS wagon.
I love this mix of design. A bit of hatch, wagon and coupe is a good kind of crossover. Check the new Hyundai i30n fastback for a great example of this trend.
Literally 8 hours ago I was disappointed to see that the only videos on this car were Kia dealership walk around videos....and then I wake up to this, killing it guys!
The is my favorite non-premium car review from you guys in a long time! Love the collab with Sketch Monkey, love the double box test, and the little things like showing it driving in reverse, the piped in sound, and even dropping the coffee cup on the cup holder test. Shows that you guys care about staying creative and not afraid to try new stuff and that's super cool, keep it up!
Elgoog Ssie obviously they don’t edit anything, I mean duuuh, they just throw all the footage on the computer and it magically comes together like this... They literally said they had already done the box test but Jakub said to just put it in again, it was more for fun.
These real people car reviews are the best ones! I think you guys should do a large-scale comparison between all cars like this at the same time. Make the video 30+ minutes long and I'd be happy to watch a current 2019/20 comparison between all of them. A lot of your viewers are in the market, like myself.
I got one recently also and it's great! I opted for the 7 speed dual clutch since my wife drives it on occasion but it's still very sporty when you want it to be.
@Mark Nichollsthe rear end of the cerato/forte 5 hatch just looks awful, compared to the whole Kia ceed family. Just google it and it's not necessary to get foul-mouthed and to insult other people just because of their opinion.
Its depressing that this model didn't make it to the US. It's almost exactly what I've been looking for. It also sucks that North America in general doesn't get wagons these days. The ProCeed in Europe is essentially a Forte wagon and I think it looks awesome.
Go KIA!! I’m glad their making fastbacks! So tired of every vehicle manufacturer ditching cars for bloody SUVs!! Love the looks, both inside and out! 2:49 - also awesome job with the photoshopping skills!
Man, I love this video. The small little moments like the double box test, dropping the coffee cup into the cup holders, the hot diggity dog made this review much more entertaining compared to some of the more recent ones. Thanks guys!
The european vesion (called Ceed Proceed GT) looks a lot better. In europe we call them "Shooting Brakes" and should present a sporty wagon with less space - comparible to the SUV Coupes.
Holy.. I currently drive a Civic (and will always love Honda) but Kia has been stepping it UP lately. I wouldn't mind having one of these or the upcoming Optima.
I just picked up a used 2018 Hyundai Elantra GT Sport w/ 15k miles and really love it. I cross shopped w/ Mazda6, Mazda3, GTI and Forte GT. Overall I liked everything I drove but I couldn't justify the $ of buying something new and the value of the Elantra GT was great compared to the Mazda's and GTI. Add in the remaining warranty and I feel it was a win!
I got a 2020 Forte GT sedan. I’m got a 6 speed manual (USA). Like the looks of the sedan over the 5 door looks. Fun car to drive. Great value for the money.
I like that they now sell a version with a 6 speed single clutch - and instead of a computer handling the shift, there is an extra pedal and the driver controls it!
I bought this car (2021 version with manual transmission) about 10 months ago. Love it! Its our family of four car. With our two teenage boys we have no trouble packing up everything we need and hitting the road for vacation in it with all our stuff. over 6ft never an issue with head and leg room front or back. Personal I don't get SUVs but that's just my opinion, to each is own. For me ... no SUVs and no Auto trans ever so long as there are practical manual options out there. Love all the practical storage space in its fastback trunk. The controversial rear end design as commented on in this video actually lends the car to have a huge load floor in back way better than any traditional hatchback out there with more storage under the floor! Also love that I get 201hp running 87 octane as opposed to other cars in this class requiring premium fuel in their similar power rated motors. The manual trans final drive is too short though in this car pulling too many revs when cruising at high speed however this short final drive make for the car being quick getting to that speed. Despite the gearing car actually gets good fuel economy. Also love that I never see another car like mine on the road .. ever ... and the exclusivity also drew me to this car like with my Nissan NX2000 I had when I was a kid, never saw another one.
By the way Straight Pipes, I bought a set of Continental Extreme Contact Summer Sport tires for my GTI due to your sponsorship! My pleasure, you're welcome! :-)
Better off with a GTI in that case. At least the sedan KIA Forte GT is a legitimate alternative to the GLI. A tick slower. But more compact, significantly less expensive, and still very fun to drive.
Great video -- as a grammar Nazi I was pleasantly surprised to hear Yuri differentiating between good and well. I continually correct someone here at work all the time because she always uses the wrong word.
I got the sedan version just last week and am loving it! I had originally planned on getting the Elantra GT Nline based on your review but didn't really want to drive out of town for one, plus the Forte was a bit cheaper anyway. And we don't have the hatch here yet =(
I own a Forte 5 GT Limited, I tested the Civic Sport Touring and the Entrant GT N-Line and chose this due to the more space in the hatch for my dog. The Forte 5 GT handed better than the civic and was more fun to drive in an Auto. The GT N-Line was fun, but has a much smaller trunk space. All in all I am loving this car, it is great in the snow and on dry days it fun to drive on some twisty roads. I am looking forward to the summer when I can get the 18"s on it.
It's a good car by the looks of things.. Still not sold on ownership of Hyundai/Kia products especially long term. If a car like this proves to be Toyota reliable while still being sporty then it's definitely a good buy.
I actually like the look. Looks roomier than a sedan, but not quite as boxy as a station wagon. I love a good wagon, but I don't mind this design either.
Interesting, I was expecting this to be a twin of the Elantra GT N Line, or at least have the same dimensions, but it's clearly not the case. The interior is similar, but the Forte5 is 7 inches longer and has less ground clearance. And it's not available in manual.
What do you think of the Forte5 GT?
The sedan looks better
I like the european version more, where we also have a wagon :)
i preferred the sedan version. 👍👍👍
TheStraightPipes it looks like a budget Panamera sport turismo
It’s a cool daily driver. Like a more practical VW Golf GTI.
I love that the preview video in your playlist of "affordable four door cars" is the McLaren GT.

Check out the Kia Proceed, same design but it looks much much better
I still cannot tell it's a hatch, wagon or shootingbrake.

Incredible how Kia just gives you heated and cooled seats while other manufacturers sometimes don't include them in lower priced models
This was easily the most casually made video you guys ever made xD
KIA and Hyundai are just killing it right now. They have learned their lessons (from their past failures) very well.
One thing I learnt from #thestraightpipes is the continental recommended tire for every car.
Great work tho, you guys nail it every time ♥

HOw u liking it so far? If it weren't for them and other youtube reviewers i wudnt have eVen considered it.
You like it?

I did also!
Wtf it’s snowing outside and yuri is wearing a T-shirt. You Canadians are something else
Bilal Faruqi that’s Spring
AGHHHHHH SKETCH MONKEY, this vid has made my day so far
I love the look of this car it reminds me of the Lancer Sportback and that car was a beauty!!
It's not pro_ceed, not Ceed SW like here in Europe. What is that??
We have an actual station wagon and Panamerish Pro_Ceed
And we've also got an "suv" version called Xceed
@Mark Nicholls the cerato gt looks like kia took a proceed and drove it backwards in a wall
The ceed family is way better than any other version of it on the other continents

7:59 The old Kia Forte actually earned Ward's Best Interior award.
The wagon structure looks lovely!!! I would have bought this car if it was a wagon.
Yup, more of Yuri's awkward grinning and presenting an imaginary rectangle. This is definitely the new meme to end each video.
I was watching in PiP to read comments and there was no thumbnail shown in that mode, that was super wired.
When I see you upload it just brings smile to my face
You guys have really made me love wagons again and I don’t know how I feel about that
The answer is you feel good about that. Just let it happen.
Hot diggity dog! I currently daily drive the similar, 2019 Forte S (tail end looks much better) and have enjoyed every commute in it. Great video!

I bought the Forte5 EX, and now it's my favorite car ever.
There's a station wagon in Europe it's called the Ceed SW
I have a 2023 Kia forte GT with a six speed manual in that car is like a rocket. And it’s very fun to drive. I honestly love driving a manual.
The civic did 12 box’s like wtf?
Dam that a lot
I got a 2020 Forte GT sedan. I’m got a 6 speed manual (USA). Like the looks of the sedan over the 5 door looks. Fun car to drive. Great value for the money.
Straight Pipes making us wake up early for that sweet sweet sense of humor...

Liked the wagon edit for the Forte 5. I'd be interested in seeing how the 2020 Hyundai Sonata looks as a wagon.
USA vs Canada: Canada gets the Forte5, but not stick. USA gets stick option, but not the hatch.
Thanks for clarifying! I went to Kia USA's site and couldn't find the hatch (5) version. Not sure why we can get the combo, but at least we now know.
0:04 i really thought i was about to see a Neutral Drop special no mercy revercy
The “hot diggety dog” slo mo cut with Jakob was worth watching the video! You guys excel at you editing skills. 😂
You Canadians and your hockey bags :-D
They should’ve brought the kia Proceed over, looks STUNNING
Kinda reminds me of my old vw scirocco...nice oldschool design
If this had panoramic sunroof like the Elantra hatch it would be damn near perfect
Wao body shape looks a like like the Mazda 3 hatchback and the shape of the old Elantra GT hatchback
I thought the same. Looks like hyundai/kia takes what it likes from other cars and mixes it all together into one.
In South Korea here, we call this car "K3 GT" and normal sedan version(1.6NA with CVT) is called "K3".
Lmao when u did the jeep grand Cherokee and the jaguar, I needed it for homework like actually LOL
The new intro was very well done
Times to the music, fun to watch, great way to start the video

Maaaaan, they need to release it in the US. Totally cool.
0:51 no graphics about the power output?
LOL'd at the comment about all the plastic cladding getting you to your cottage. 😂
Don’t understand why Kia doesn’t just bring the Proceed to the North American market. Looks 10x better than this thing.
You guys are my number one choice for new car impressions, keep it up gang
10:02 that looks a car that could vs the Subaru crosstrek
Been waiting for this video for months! Enjoyed it, thanks!

Brilliant job by Kia and another very well-made review from The Straight Pipes.
The Honda Civic did 12 boxes. Because manual transmissions are better for drivers, I’d prefer a Hyundai Elantra GT and Honda Civic Si.
Sketch Monkey, saves the day! I actually like it the way Sketch designed it--I'd buy that.
So you never heard of the kia ceed sw or kia Proceed? They're basically just more practical and better looking versions of the Forte
The best B roll shots on UA-cam
You guys have one of the most entertaining channels. Right there with throttle house.
OMG IT HAVE A MANUAL PARKING BRAKE !!! that alone there is a win for me
I have a 2020 gt and I love it mine is also hatch. Pops nice and pulls strong and handles quite well in the snow for a small hatchback
Thankful for your awesome reviews! They just got me through a 70 minute treadmill workout!
So it's basically the kinda car where you realize you have to get a family car but not have to compromise the fun factor to a degree.
By the way Straight Pipes, I bought a set of Continental Extreme Contact Summer Sport tires for my GTI due to your sponsorship! My pleasure, you're welcome! :-)
I actually really like how the seats look. Very retro.
In Europe we have the wagon it's called the Kia Proceed GT Line
Better off with a GTI in that case. At least the sedan KIA Forte GT is a legitimate alternative to the GLI. A tick slower. But more compact, significantly less expensive, and still very fun to drive.
I absolutely LOVE the profile of this car. Idk how practical the profile is, but I think it looks better as is, than as a wagon.
Great video -- as a grammar Nazi I was pleasantly surprised to hear Yuri differentiating between good and well. I continually correct someone here at work all the time because she always uses the wrong word.
I enjoy your reviews all the time. Makes it super fun.
I got the sedan version just last week and am loving it! I had originally planned on getting the Elantra GT Nline based on your review but didn't really want to drive out of town for one, plus the Forte was a bit cheaper anyway. And we don't have the hatch here yet =(
I’m looking in this price range, with those specs. If it was a wagon I would be all over this.
I think it looks fantastic! Especially the side profile and rear
Did you guys see what we have in europe instead of this weird looking forte?
Check out 2019/2020 KIA Proceed. Shooting break body is amazing.
I own a Forte 5 GT Limited, I tested the Civic Sport Touring and the Entrant GT N-Line and chose this due to the more space in the hatch for my dog. The Forte 5 GT handed better than the civic and was more fun to drive in an Auto. The GT N-Line was fun, but has a much smaller trunk space. All in all I am loving this car, it is great in the snow and on dry days it fun to drive on some twisty roads. I am looking forward to the summer when I can get the 18"s on it.
What i dont understand is that the top trim Forte GT gets the harman kardon system but the the top trim Forte5 GT does not - WHY???????
It's a good car by the looks of things.. Still not sold on ownership of Hyundai/Kia products especially long term. If a car like this proves to be Toyota reliable while still being sporty then it's definitely a good buy.
I actually like the look. Looks roomier than a sedan, but not quite as boxy as a station wagon. I love a good wagon, but I don't mind this design either.
I wish the US still got hatchbacks and wagons.
diffuser + exhuast looks like the new rs5 sportback
The GT is sold in sedan form in the states with fog lights standard. Journalists call it the baby Stinger.
Interesting, I was expecting this to be a twin of the Elantra GT N Line, or at least have the same dimensions, but it's clearly not the case. The interior is similar, but the Forte5 is 7 inches longer and has less ground clearance. And it's not available in manual.
