If a strong chassis, roomy interior, handsome looks, abundant safety technology, excellent efficiency and an outstanding powertrain warranty are important to you, the all-new 2019 Kia Forte checks all the right boxes.
The only automatic transmission is a continuously variable transmission (CVT) with no fixed ratios, and many people don’t like how they feel. That stated, Kia’s new CVT, developed in-house, is a good one. Also, some hard interior plastic pieces reveal the Forte’s affordable nature.
