2013 Kia Forte Review

By KBB.com Editors
You'll Like This Car If...

If your budget says mac and cheese, but your self-worth demands prime rib, one of the three 2013 Kia Forte compacts is sure to satisfy both demands. Good resale and reliability ratings should ease wor

You May Not Like This Car If...

Looks can sometimes be deceiving. While the 2013 Kia Forte LX and EX may appear sporty, their overall ride and handling aren't as tight or refined as the Ford Focus or VW Jetta. The exception here

How it Drives

On the open road, the 2013 Kia Forte is the master of its domain – so long as the road to that domain remains straight and level. Toss in a few curves, however, and the Forte LX and EX, with their smaller engine and wheel/tire combo, aren't as much fun to drive as the more powerful SX trim. Even in its most aggressive SX suit, the Forte won't deliver the kind of seat-of-your-pants cornering found in the Ford Focus or Mazda3, and its manual transmission is nowhere near as refined. Don't get us wrong; the Forte is not terribly s

"I've been really impressed with my 2012 Kia forte. It drives comfortably, its very easy to maintain, and I received many vehicle perks like bluetooth, wireless sinking of my iphone to vehicle, controls on my steering wheel (which costs extra if I had gone with a honda civic or toyota corolla). It's very safe, with surround airbags (even for the back seat!), and carries an 100,000 mile warranty which is extremely important and carries a lot of clout for kia's belief in it's vehicles. Value for money-I've been very happy with my vehicle purchase"
