I just got me 2016 Forte and it's great! 31MPG city and 39 MPG highway. No need spare tire. Comes with tire flat repair kit. It has Eco mode. Basically on a full thank of gas you can drive from DC to NY and halfway back! almost round trip 375 mile range on a full thank

[@steevee1945]

Key selling/performance item on this car is the 6-speed automatic transmission, instead of the rubber band CVT on the Nissan, Civic and Carolla.

FOR A YEAR AND A HALF I HAVE WISHED THE STEERING WHEEL WAS CLOSER TO ME (without having to move the seat further up) AND I FREAKING JUST FOUND OUT I CAN MAKE THAT HAPPEN! SO PISSED AND SO HAPPY! Thanks.

[@dragon-lf9ow]

Just got one my self and really enjoy it

[@tropicallover19]

I’m getting the same model & color tomorrow. My wife has a red one too.

[@skiriigreen6323]

Im getting this next week. Great Review Bro! keep it up. Forte is so elegant and has great exterior design. Great Job KIA!

[@ShawnandStefan]

Have you got it yet??

[@ripcord9754]

+ShawnandStefan i got the 2016 kia forte lx. i like it. pretty comparible to my 2013 civic lx. slightly more horsepower. nice interior.

[@CanConserveGear]

Very good review, Happy that I did decide on the Kia Forte a 2016 LX plus

[@baconwingz]

lol @ the dogs in the red car. how does this compare with the mazda 3. the value for the forte seems hard to beat with price tag, and the 100,000 mile power train warranty. i test drove the forte lx manual 6 speed. not as much giddy up as i would like but enough to get up to speed fast on the fwy and passing is ok but not ideal. what do you know about leasing to own? is it sometimes better value this way?

[@disan9135]

I own this car and I love it!

[@johnhancock1989]

Would you recommend purchasing a Hyundai Elantra? I've seen the 2017 re-design and it looks exquisite.

[@LuisMendoza-qv1er]

+John Hancock hey hyundai and kia are practically the same brand (they come from the same corp.) so you just have to choose which one you like the most, both of them designed by the same guy and with the same reliability really.

[@fazlkarimkhan5244]

+John Hancock Have You Seen The 2016 Toyota Prius?

[@LuisMendoza-qv1er]

Fazlkarim Khan men i know you didnt ask me but i just watched it and it is hideous.

[@fazlkarimkhan5244]

KJ DSBDJ Okay But I Think It's Beautiful

[@LuisMendoza-qv1er]

Fazlkarim Khan oh so then you must have loved the mirai's design right?

[@sagarsarker6929]

please do review the porsche panamera...I just love your reviews.

[@johnhancock1989]

Will you be reviewing a 2016 Cadillac Escalade?

[@CameronsCarReviews]

+John Hancock Yes!

[@AventadorBeats]

Do the new civic type r when it comes out lol

[@Broba_Fett]

Android Auto available?

[@taylorrichardson1908]

1 question. ( I do have that kind of car) How do you get that screen there where you look behind 3:04 Someone please answer..!

[@taylorrichardson1908]

Philip Rivers thx

[@taylorrichardson1908]

Nevermine I don't have that kind of car.

[@issavibez394]

Civic is far ahead of Forte and focus in handling n sport

[@Blacksilkhtx]

NO SPARE TIRE IN ANY 2016 EXTRA 275.00

[@ripcord9754]

how many times have you really used the spare in the past? once 4 me.

[@jjd3216]

Swecc High. Unfortunately would likely have to use AAA service anyway, unless no cell towers in area.
