In general it’s a good car, with minor flaws and I found it at a good price Sep 03, 2020

Comparing the Forte to its competitors, it is a standout! I like the Forte's looks inside and out and for the trim level it is not a bad value. I wish Kia would make power windows and door locks standard, along with alloy rims, and cruise control. Other than those slight gripes, I think I made the right choice and would definitely recommend the car to friends, family, and anyone else for that matter. Now that I know the 2014 Forte comes with all that standard!Nov 27, 2012
