I just got me 2016 Forte and it's great! 31MPG city and 39 MPG highway. No need spare tire. Comes with tire flat repair kit. It has Eco mode. Basically on a full thank of gas you can drive from DC to NY and halfway back! almost round trip 375 mile range on a full thank
FOR A YEAR AND A HALF I HAVE WISHED THE STEERING WHEEL WAS CLOSER TO ME (without having to move the seat further up) AND I FREAKING JUST FOUND OUT I CAN MAKE THAT HAPPEN! SO PISSED AND SO HAPPY! Thanks.
lol @ the dogs in the red car. how does this compare with the mazda 3. the value for the forte seems hard to beat with price tag, and the 100,000 mile power train warranty. i test drove the forte lx manual 6 speed. not as much giddy up as i would like but enough to get up to speed fast on the fwy and passing is ok but not ideal. what do you know about leasing to own? is it sometimes better value this way?
+John Hancock hey hyundai and kia are practically the same brand (they come from the same corp.) so you just have to choose which one you like the most, both of them designed by the same guy and with the same reliability really.

Key selling/performance item on this car is the 6-speed automatic transmission, instead of the rubber band CVT on the Nissan, Civic and Carolla.

Very good review, Happy that I did decide on the Kia Forte a 2016 LX plus
I own this car and I love it!
Will you be reviewing a 2016 Cadillac Escalade?
+John Hancock Yes!
Would you recommend purchasing a Hyundai Elantra? I've seen the 2017 re-design and it looks exquisite.

NO SPARE TIRE IN ANY 2016 EXTRA 275.00
how many times have you really used the spare in the past? once 4 me.
Swecc High. Unfortunately would likely have to use AAA service anyway, unless no cell towers in area.
