2015 Kia Forte Koup Consumer Reviews

It costs $4000 to replace the Catalytic Converter. $4000. It is ridiculously over engineered with 4 pipes instead of one, so, 4 times the welding. This is the kind of stuff they don't tell you when you buy a Kia. Ridiculous.

BAIT & SWITCH ! I asked for an estimate used car value, & all I got was an endless no information windows. This Site is TRASH !

Good gas. CHANGE YOUR OIL. This car is has a 11.5/1 compression ratio you idiots. That's HIGH PERFORMANCE. And DIRECT INJECTION. Keep your oil topped off. Kia warranties this motor for FIFTEEN freaking years or 150,000 MILES.

I recently bought a 2018 Kia forte Lx aurora black pearl 63k miles automatic transmission fully loaded and I absolutely love the car!!! It looks amazing and the interior is gorgeous! I love the infotainment system and all the safety systems make me feel great about driving it! I use a car cover on this car because it's so amazing!!! I Absolutely Love My Kia!!!!

I bought my 2017 Kia new and at 50,000 miles I am having to pay for a new engine due to sludge build up. I have always had the oil changed, maybe a few weeks late at times, but always done. I do NOT recommend. A new engine is close to $7,000!

This was my first time owning a Kia, and my Forte EXGDI starting burning an inordinate amount of oil when it had around 80k miles (almost entirely freeway miles). I started keeping records of the oil consumption in 2019. I've had to check my oil levels weekly for a long time. The numerous times I mentioned it to the local Kia dealer when I was in for recall notices, I was told that it was normal. I subsequently learned that they didn't document any of those inquiries—I didn't realize that I should have ensured they were documenting my concerns about oil (which aside from being a pain, I suspected would lead to problems with my catalytic converter, etc.). Additionally, since about 2 years into ownership, I had to run only premium fuel (and regular Techron fuel treatment) to keep the car from pinging. Anyway, the car eventually started running terribly, and I confirmed that the catalytic converter was shot...as I've long feared would occur. The dealership quoted almost $3k. Even with that repair, the high oil consumption will prematurely clog up the new cat converter, obviously. I recently sold my "still looked pretty nice but would barely run" Kia for $1k. Btw, there has since been a recall, but my vehicle didn't qualify because by the time Kia acknowledged a problem with their GDI engines, my car was several thousand miles past the recall parameters (max 150k miles). I've never encountered a less scrupulous brand than Kia. I tell EVERYONE WHO WILL LISTEN...if you have an opportunity to buy a Kia, RUN AWAY. SAVE YOURSELF. If I can dissuade just one person from experiencing the frustration and mistreatment I've gone through at the hands of Kia, I'll be grateful.

Do not recommend this car. Had to replace the engine twice and it had a bunch of other mechanical issues.

I bought this car brand new in 2018 and have had nothing but problems since. Only at 91,000 miles and the car no longer works. Over the last 2 years i've put over 2k into replacing everything. Constant recalls and engine problems. I do not recommend this car at all. The music cuts off randomly at times, screen will go black just paid it off and now have to get a new car. Put your money into a better brand
