I've had my 2010 Kia Forte almost 10 years! GREAT gas mileage especially on the highway. I could drive to my college town 100 miles away on 1/4 tank of gas (used roughly 3 gallons, CRAZY). The only issues I've ever had out of it were a weird shift from I think 1st to 2nd, the mechanics fixed it up for me, and my battery was just changed last year! I think 3-5 years is recommended but mine held up, I noticed the power was starting to diminish and it was having a harder time starting and I knew. Most of the OEM parts like headlights and such, I have only replaced a tail light and turn signal light. It's been a great car, I don't have 100,000 on it yet and it's my daily driver. It'll be hard to let it go, I don't plan to anytime soon.

I was impressed with the 2021 Kia Forte that I rented this past wknd on a 600 mile roundtrip road trip. It was overall comfortable, had a solid quality interior, nice exterior style, very good gas mileage and accelerated pretty good merging on the highway for a 4cyl. It handled curves fairly well and had a good amount of standard features. It's a car that I now am considering owning and running up the miles on and its one that I could say I even seen the value purchasing new and just keeping a long time. Solid ride people, check it out if you're looking around.

@@ArthropodSpidey let's put the unintended acceleration to rest. It was proven that there was absolutely no problem with the accelerator. The reason it was happening was a design flaw and it was proven. The gas and brake pedals were too close together which is why the acceleration happened unintentionally. It had nothing to do with faulty parts. Look it up for yourself.

Just got the oil changed on my 2014 Kia Soul. Great car, with more space inside than I thought. It's my everyday work car, and it's had no major problems at all through the years. My daughter is patiently waiting for me to hand it down to her, which I probably will be doing soon. I have no problems buying a Kia again. They seem pretty reliable to me! Thanks Scotty for all that you do! Keep up the great work, and God Bless! 👍🏾🙌🏾🙏🏾

Scotty, I own a 2017 base model Kia Forte LX myself. I bought it new as a leftover with steep incentives in Feb of 2018 for around $16k. It now has over 70K of hard miles (I'm an Uber Driver), but it hasn't given me the slightest bit of problems. Mine has the standard 6-speed transmission, which I think gives it quite a bit more oomph than the automatic, but I'm still able to get a combined average of 35 MPG. If I maintain a steady 55 on the freeway I can get around 45 MPG, but who am I kidding, I never drive that slow. My brakes still have over 40% remaining. The size of the trunk is surprising for a car that size. I often pick-up passengers headed to, or from, the airport or seaport that are amazed that I got all their luggage to fit. My passengers often compliment me on its ride and comfort, and are quite surprised by how well it compares to the Civic, Corolla, and even its sibling, the Hyundai Elantra. I only wish it had an independent rear suspension, as driving over railroad crossings or pot holes can sometimes be quite jarring. All in all I'm quite happy with it, and just wanted to share my experience.

How much do you pay a month for your kia if you dont mind me asking. I’m a college student and really need a car. On the website it says that I could pay as low as $250 a month (without insurance) but I wanna know how truth that is.

@robertcabrera6232

@@Juliquiny As a young person in college my advice to you would be to buy a reliable older used Civic, Accord, Corolla, or Camry rather than buying anything new. Before rideshare driving I sold cars for years, and I can't tell you how many young people I know who messed up their credit by getting into payments that they thought they could afford while they were in college, but struggled with them when the realities of independent life in the real world hit them. Most students, unless on full ride scholarships or getting tuition paid by their parents, are racking up student loan debt, and most jobs right out of college are entry level even if lucky enough to get in their chosen field. There are a lot of costs associated with car financing that no one ever thinks about when purchasing. For one, there is routine maintenance and normal wear and tear which isn't covered under warranty, that usually means taking to a dealer during the warranty period, which is expensive. If you don't put a lot of money down you'll need to get GAP coverage, so that if your car is totalled you won't end up owing the finance company more than your insurance will pay for the car's value. You'll also need full coverage insurance, and since you are young without a lot of money saved, you'll probably want uninsured motorist protection added and a lower deductible, so again you won't end up owing the finance company way more than insurance will pay if totalled. As to my Forte, as I mentioned it was a 2017 leftover that I purchased halfway through the 2018 model year. It was the cheapest, most basic, trim level, with no other options, and I purchased with $2000 in factory incentives, plus what was probably nearly that amount in factory to dealer incentives to move out the old inventory. So I got it for around $16,000 OTD. When all was said and done, my monthly payment was just under $250, but I also had well established good credit, had been on my job for several years, and put down $2500. I hope this helped.

I find that the transaxle works tighter if you switch to the sport shift, which also has a lag on hard shifts so you have to shift it early but if you have the interest to do you can experiment with it. Also if you are looking for power use the sport mode. I have to warn everyone that the eco drive mode is not meant for the city stop and go traffic and I have had situations where it was not responding predictably to accelerating, making for a few scary moments. It’s meant for the highway so be careful.

Thank you I wanted you to do a review on the kia forte, I currently own a 2016 kia forte5, appreciate all your insights

my dad has this car and its amazing!!! my car got totaled so ive been driving it while i search for a new car and im definitely looking for a kia for myself.

Kia and Hyundai have worked really hard in improving their reliability.. I think they’re much better than what they’re portrayed to be and perhaps better than any automobiles from Detroit. In 2014 I bought a used 2002 Hyundai Santafe for $6K and drove 50K miles for 4 years with No problems and issues whatsoever.

So happy Kia is getting good reviews

I own a 2013 Sorento. It’s the EX trim. Got it with 55,000 miles in 2017. At 99,853 now. Only thing I’ve paid for is brakes and tires! LOVE this SUV. Smooth and quiet on my interstate commute. Best part, monthly payment is $0.00/ month!

I like this new format of videos Scotty.

Had an Optima 2012. Took excellent care of it.

I just got a Kia Sorento. I freaking love it.

Thank you Scotty! I just went from an '07 Jeep GC Ltd 5.7L Hemi to a '14 Kia Rio Hatchback. What I paid for gas in a month in the Hemi not only covers my car payment but also the gas for the month!

I love this video Scotty . I recommend the 6 speed manual though. Way more performance from the same engine

I really love those 2.0L. I had one in my 2015 elantra. They're fun to drive.

Actually in 2014 I bought a Kia Forte EX. In 2014 they really stepped up the quality, and the bumper to bumper warranties are 5 years, which no other manufacturers have. The EX model, or mid range model had GDI and the horsepower stepped up to 173 HP, I believe. That car was the only car at that price level that threw my head back against the head rest when I floored it. It also had a lot of bells and whistles for the price. I really liked the car, but had to sell it because it wasn't feasible for me. I needed something bigger.

My 2015 forte holding up like a champ, currently at 160,000 after 5 years and only had to change oil, spark plugs, filters, tires-brakes-rotors. Nothing else major

I have owned 3 Hyundai / Kia products in my life thus far. Best cars I've ever owned. Never broke down, maintenance was always cheap, never gave me a hard time. They may not have been as smooth or refined as a Toyota, but they definitely were on the same level in reliability.

@@microtransactions2661 okay, in regards to the Optima, that was a recall that KIA actually took responsibility for, which is more than I can say for Toyota and their unintended-acceleration situation (and current CVT failure problem on Corollas). And paint on a car is hardly anything I really care about if the car runs and drives fine. It's amazing what people consider to be 'cheap' when it comes to a car. Meanwhile, you have Honda Accords on the market with good paint jobs, but failing transmissions. Ask yourself: which would you rather deal with?

I'll buy Korean cars next to Japanese cars because their reability improved over last year's.

I had a 2011 Forte with the 2.0. Loved it. Solid little car. Put 250,000 on it no issues. Pretty sure I still see another owner it driving around to this day.

The styling has aged and will age really well and the value factor is fantastic.
