I’m loving the GT shown here. Coming from a 2014 Fiesta SE this is very comfortable to slip into.. actually very comparable vehicles! The turbo gives a different feel, and everything else is just what I wish my Fiesta was. That being said, I’d more closely compare this to the Fiesta ST, especially with the GT2 package I’d imagine 😅

Just bought a '23 GT2 in Steel Grey. Came down to it, the Civic Si, and the Mazda3 Sedan. Ended up choosing the GT2 ultimately due to the technology, comfort, and overall features, plus the DCT was all the fun in a manual and then some. Saves my left knee, and it has some real snappy shifting. 1200 miles in so far, and I love it.

I really cant decide between mazda3 turbo, Forte GT or Jetta GLI

I purchased my 2023 Kia Forte GT2 around a year ago. I got the Electric Blue colored one with the sunroof and extra added benefits like the wireless charging, synthetic leather red trimmed seats with the heating and cooling seat effects and more. Mine is the 7-speed DCT. This is BY FAR the most gorgeous and underrated vehicle ever. I was originally going to grab a K5 or a Stinger. But I wanted something new and eye catching. This past year I’ve had more people ask me about my car than ever. I decided to take it out to my friends track to test the power on this thing. Come to find out it actually pushes around 210-215 HP. I also peaked top speed at around 132 MPH (BY TRACK). This car is absolutely perfect by all standards. The back end is perfect. I find no issues or flaws with this vehicle. I don’t like how the guy in the video was deflecting the added details on this car. Kia made the forte GLOW UP in SOOO many ways. If you would’ve told me to get a 2022 or older, I would’ve laughed in your face. The older models have NOTHING on this new sleek design and power push. This car is absolutely perfect, from the interior, the exterior and the power. I HIGHLY recommend this beautiful car.

I owned the 11th gen civic si for a year until it got totaled. I picked up this in manual as my new ride and it's 100% the better value and car overall. If we got the Canadian version the civic is probably better, but in the US you get sooo much more in this car. Not to mention there are some things with the civic that annoyed me: no engine temp, horribly slow infotainment, android auto not working 10% of the time, electronic parking brake, no backlight of climate control buttons, no spare tire, no low washer fluid warning, less flexibility with controls (such as parking camera only on when in reverse vs. Button for camera in GT), having to manually turn off auto stop-start on every drive, ect. Only significant things missing from GT is the LSD, civic shift knob is more premium on si, and no rev matching, but otherwise this car is far better.

I have a GT2 in this color and I love it. It's fast, tons of features that most cars in this class or price point don't even offer. The exhaust sounds just right. I did add my own sub to boost the HK system, and I added ambient lighting under the dash and back seats, and got the adapter to make the CarPlay wireless. Wish the steering wheel was heated, wish they offered awd. Memory driver seat wouldn't hurt. Also wish the rear turn signals were led and integrated into the upper tail lights like he said. But otherwise it's great. I love driving it. Its fun and comfortable, and i get compliments on it constantly.

Bought my 22 Sporty Blue GT with GT2 Package in November of 21, got lucky to get my hands on one as was the first to own one in my area here in Augusta, GA. I swapped out the factory tires with a set of Bridgestones much better ride. I also had a Forte GT hood decal put on mine. I also have 250HP cominh from engine, i have the DCT version. Anybody looking for a great, fun and sporty car with the acceleration without breaking yourself this is the car. I traded in my 21 GT for the 22. The GT comes with and without the GT2 package, if a person can afford it, i recommend the extra few thousands for the GT2 package as you got alot of options for the price. Im over 6 foot tall and i have no problem with comfort. I made a trip to Florida the 1st weekend in June and actually averaged about 40mpg on just straight Interstate driving. Great car.

Love it. I just bought the GT manual 2 weeks ago in Snow White pearl. It has the heated seats the sunroof and the sound system. Also dealer installed ceramic tint. It’s way better of an every day driver than the civic. The gas mileage is absolutely incredible as well. I was using double the amount of gas in the compass I had previously.

I think the key thing about this vehicle that really sets it apart from anything in its price range is the fact it has a freaking DCT transmission. Imagine if they had put a CVT in it? - I highly doubt it would be selling the way it is. Kia has really knocked it out of the park with this car and the price they charge. 1.6 Liter Turbo DCT, just put it in sport mode and from the very moment you take off at the lights the first gear gives you such a powerful launch.

Still identical to my 2017 Elantra Sport. This one has a better sounding exhaust. Deeper tone. I really like it. The Forte just needs a few mods that I have on my Elantra and it’ll be the best car you’ll own. Fuel efficient too. The best I’ve been able to get on my Elantra is 46 mpg but it’s rare with perfect conditions. The Forte mpg on a factory tune is very impressive. Better than mine when it was on the stock tune.

Had the Hyundai Elantra GT N-line version of this with the same engine and DCT, it actually felt great to drive and I even brought it to tail of the dragon and to a few tracks. Only reason I got rid of it was it was ROUGH on long rides and started being unreliable after the 3 year mark at only 25k miles. The wind noise and vibrations above 60 mph is crazy. My fuel pump, alternator, several electrical components were replaced and there were several issues with the DCT at low speeds.

Good review, and straight truth on the pizza rolls.

I drove the Forte GT, but it had a manual. I want something performance oriented, so the Forte GT is definitely a vehicle I'd consider for my next ride. The Civic Si and Jetta GLI are others that I'd consider.

Change the stock KUMHO tires. I did to Michlin Pilot Sports, for better handling, better ride, and since I'm 70 years old, tire spin off the line doesn't matter anymore. Why, I don't floor it from a stop. I did plenty of that with my 1973 340 Cuda, and then with my 1975, Trans Am, with the 400 4-barrel engine. Of course, I was 20 and then 23 years old, respectfully.

I've always had a thing for the Forte Gt. I got outran by a damn base model in my Dart Rallye 2.4 multi air II with TCU tune up to 115 in Mexico of course. I had to cheat and pass them around a sharp corner because I knew I could take it faster with my racing background. That's why I have zero faith in the Dodge Hornet you reviewed they are all looks and no performance.

If he doesn't, Joe should get merchandise for "TO THE DOOR PANELS!" and "Gonna have to zone that." The latter saying could also be a double entandre Lol

Sure Honda cost cut a lot of things from the si and still cost more the forte gt. Here on the gt you get more bang for your buck but can’t deny Honda does the best driving dynamics in this class. At least both models you can still row through the gears

This car by far beats the price! Plus, if your a commuter this DCT works like a charm!!

Actually their DCT is worst in the business. The 7 speed is quite problematic. I admin two KDM 1.6T focused group both with 5k members or so each and weekly there are people posting about DCT issues and having to get them replaced. Not to mention I had my DCT replaced twice on my 1.6T Elantra sport. It’s a horrible option for a daily driver, especially one that sees traffic use. Kia and Hyundai will continue to sell them to people that think they work like regular automatics and they’ll keep getting people back into the dealer with issues because of it.

Hyundai KIA cars are 1. catches fire, 2. easy to steal, 3. engine Blow up 4. weakest transmission in the market 5. company lie about gas mileage 6. insurance refuse to cover 7. use child labor to manufacture.

I have a 2023 KIA Forte GT. I bought in July last year. Just turned 12,000 miles and not one single problem,not a single rattle or squeak. I drove to NJ in June an was averaging around 38 mpg at 70 mph. The only issues I have is the stereo isn’t the greatest and the headlight sensor is very sensitive. Drive under a tree and it will tell you your headlights are off. Other than those issues I love my steel grey GT.

Wish they did this in a hatch. The other dealbreaker is that low-lives still mess with Kias too much in my area. Otherwise I think it's a neat little car, and you get some good features for the price.

They have a hatchback in Canada and it looks good too

I placed an order for my GT Line the other day. I got Hyper Blue colour.

What about this vs the Elantra N line

Beautiful
