The Truth About The Kia Forte GT
the 2022 Kia Forte GT is a fun to look at, fun to drive well optioned car do under $30,000. After the new wears off is what we talk about in today's video. What is it really like to live with this kia product. Honda Civic is the most notable competition when you take the sporty side of the KIA Forte GT 2. Can the Kia keep owners happy when the newness wears off?

As the owner of a purchased in 2020 18' Elatntra Sport DCT, I was exited for it's platform mates refresh and a little jealous of the much more dynamic interior (actually having silver door pulls for starters) Very happy with this platform for what it cost. Handles great, dampened perfectly if you ask me. I recommend everyone at least get a K&N drop in if not get rid of the air box and the car gets its breath much better and maybe a slight improvement in mileage, also a catch can. I swapped for a catless downpipe and unlocked a ton of boost and now I get a higher typical running average of 28.8 mpg.

I just got the GTS 5 Black with Bluetooth for my Stinger 2.0t. I also put in some HKS plugs and a K&N intake on 93. It made the car so much more fun. Map 7 is awsome!! Pulls the whole way through.
One reason this car is a winner: rear-seat vents, which can no longer be had in any equivalent vehicle. I want sedan + "leather" + stick + rear-seat vents, and the only other option would be a GTI at $10K more.
I actually like the turn signal in the back being close to the ground and not integrated into the back brake lighting. That was a nice feature for me. 🤷🏻♂️
i own the 2020 gt and honestly prefer the look of the pre-face lift model. the headlights going straight into the grill gives it a weird look that i think won't age well. I also really prefer the butterfly LED in the front and the cool led pattern on the rear lights compared to just lines.

Those that have been down the harder compact factory riding car ownership life are assuredly familiar with what I am about to suggest, so for everyone else, consider dropping down in wheel size from 18". Already have planned my 16" swap. The more tire sidewall, the more cushion. And, if you know how to shop for wheels, you can drop some rotating mass weight for greater efficiency that correlates to better braking, increase in power to the pavement, and more affective performance and lower wear on the suspension/brakes. So many reasons to do this. Nothing but win.
I have the 22 manual gt in black. It’s a fun car. I do find it hard to complain about anything giving I paid $25k for a brand new car. Not being able to lock the car while it’s running is the most annoying thing to me. Lol and it beeps loud as hell too. I’m at 12k miles. No issues at all.

Look around for the bigger dealerships and they'll more than likely start getting more and more inventory in the near future. Keep your ear to the ground on these, and just keep in mind that worst case, they'll try to upsell you like they did me. (sticker price with the GT2 package was about 27k, they were asking 32k.) Trick that worked for me was 'make sure the sales rep/manager is clear that you dont NEED the car, but you WANT it, and they're willing to budge a bit on the price for the car and if you're trading in one like me, they'll give you over your KBB value for your car.

How is the lighting at night? So, the seating for long distance isn’t very good!

If you're not buying this car with the manual transmission, you're doing it wrong, IMO.
I like the aggressive front look...Forte Gt. But I love my Serento 2015 more. Perfect family car! Strong and safe No worries..
Does the manual also get the cooled seats or is that just for the auto?

Forte GT looks like Civic and Corolla had a baby together. Elantra N-Line much better and unique.

Very loud interior road noise!!!after 1.50 hour trip very uncomfortable!!! I think I need a hearing aid now.
Toyotas seat suck the minute you sit in it
This is not a road tripper buddy. This is a zip around town Doordash, canyon car to have some fun in. If your expecting the seat level of a luxury touring car, not gonna be that.
