[@HelloAgent47]

Bro, that is a nice ass color. It works well with the shine gloss tires and rims. As soon as I have a house of my own, I'm gonna talk to the wife on getting one but the GT in manual. Hopefully they have a Forte5 by the time. I miss my old hatchback. Great vid.

[@ZOfFamine]

I just got my Forte ex+ 2021 mine's sporty blue and I love it. Kia got game now! Good review man!

[@kaboongu9292]

Cracks me up when people say.. “I got it tinted.. all the way around”😂😂 You mean you didn’t want to tint just half the windows? My brother said this too. Lol

[@ronzineg]

Brought my daughter this same color 2021 today. She is loving it.

[@JamesBeBored]

Im glad she is 🔥

[@fredfields7281]

Great video bro. I just bought my daughter a 2021 GT line. Got the blue color. Her 2011 mini cooper was just about dead so i surprised her with the kia. What an awesome car especially fir the money. Tons of safety features and tech you usually find in more expensive cars. Great riding and great looking car. You're right when you said kia is stepping up their game. I bought it on a tuesday morning at 11a.m. and the dealership was packed!

[@tailorthetrucker7357]

"Just don't trash my car thank you very much" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@JamesBeBored]

Yep!

[@JustinPennito]

I use to have one & it was a great car! Went to a Stinger 2.0T & now a K5 GT with the 2.5T. Just noticed you're in Louisiana, I am too, Shreveport.

[@JamesBeBored]

Nice! Big big big upgrades lol! & ayeee Louisiana stand up. How is the k5 gt?

[@desmond.deshaun]

Bro watching your vid just confirmed it for me. I have to get this car.. I’ve been eyeing it for a minute and idk what I’m waiting on cause it’s 🔥, I currently have a 2017 Kia Rio .. she my baby but I think I need to do a lil upgrade lol

[@JamesBeBored]

I appreciate that my dude. But go for it!! You wont regret it! Kia stepping their game up frfr. In the my new video, which is right here kzbin.info/www/bejne/bKS7iqF7qK-toZI i talk about my kia rio i had before i got my forte!

[@1231coolguy]

Look for a stinger gt line , really reccomend it

[@2004cyrus]

Car looks super clean too I noticed how much effort you put into the wheels and then you said you washed it! Hahaha love it

[@memadelrey7711]

Congratulations 👏🏽 may it keep you safe and you pay it off quickly 🙏

[@JamesBeBored]

Thank you

[@mjrd1978]

That shit looks clean AF with that tint.

[@andreasadams6053]

Nice bro . I just gotten my 2020 Kia forte GT Line last week the burnt orange color in love it

[@JamesBeBored]

Oh yeah when i first seen that color i was like oh yeah thats nice lol

[@elredo7277]

Thanks for the video man. Seriously leaning towards buying this car.

[@JamesBeBored]

Anytime!

[@ikotherainman4866]

Car looks sick, your review got me wanting this car. Gonna go peep it later today! Great review!

[@JamesBeBored]

Thank you man! I hope all goes well!

[@freddukepoo3359]

I got the 2021 GT 1.6L turbo. Sport mode is fun! I just put in a oil catch can since it’s a GDI engine. I got it in Gravity Gray.

[@Inelegants]

Just copped the 2020 GT Line im hyped to get it on Saturday.

[@JamesBeBored]

Yessir! Congratulations! You gonna enjoy it!

[@MrCONNOR624]

GT is best option imo, turbo charged 1.6 liter, 201 HP, high beam assist, 18 inch alloy instead of 17 and red stitching:)

[@2004cyrus]

She is beautiful and you did a good job James you should be proud! What do you do as your job? I’m ready to be a subscriber to your channel. You cool !

[@2004cyrus]

Kia is really stopping their game up. I like the red in the grill and the LED daytime running lights

[@ronzineg]

You step your game up Young Brother! Clean!

[@JamesBeBored]

Thank ya thank ya

[@southbayer236]

That car is bad ass looking!

[@JamesBeBored]

Thank you

[@32blackful]

U did real good in this video 💯

[@JamesBeBored]

Thank you. I really appreciate that💯

[@2004cyrus]

Oh nice I looked at this very car at the Kia dealer in Oklahoma City. Same wheels and color. It was almost $22k before taxes.

[@typicalfritz6284]

Loved the video man fr fr!!!! I’m currently 19, and really like the Kia Forte GT line. Mostly, because of that sporty and compact style it gives off. Do you think this is a good car for me especially at my age?

[@JamesBeBored]

Thank you, i really appreciate it! & YES! Go for it, if you can get it, get it! You can maybe start a project on it like ill be doing so stay tuned!

[@jdubdoubleu]

Lease it if you want cheaper payments and you don't plan on doing anything aftermarket.

[@2004cyrus]

It’s the perfect car for your age and even my age at 28! Good on gas and safe

[@MrNothingButAir]

whats your mpg? Also does this take regular or need 91? Not bad for a 20k car . Also what did you pay for it after taxes and everything?

[@jtc9442]

We both went from the 19 Rio to the GTLine 21 Forte big upgrade

[@JamesBeBored]

Yessir. Congratulations!🔥

[@reginaarmstrong1018]

Great job James. I got the same car this weekend. Mine is blue, her name is Diana (like Diana Prince from Wonder Woman). You know the blue and red. 💙

[@elisebeverly3352]

Do the door handles really have lights in them at night ? Nice color btw

[@JamesBeBored]

Yes. The driver side & passenger side only tho. & thank you! I will do a night video on my car & show everything! So stay tuned!

[@jpresco90]

Yes they do I love my GT line just got it :3

[@jpresco90]

The color of his is really nice

[@bresmith828]

Love the car and color! Does it have satellite radio? (Sirius xm?)

[@JamesBeBored]

Thank you! & yes it does. Unfortunately my free trial just ended tho lol

[@2004cyrus]

@@JamesBeBored oh you can negotiate if you call Sirius and I talk them down to $6 per month. So I pay them $36 every 6 months by credit card. You can get that deal because I always get it. And you can listen to sports or rap or whatever you like

[@2004cyrus]

Dual climate control is nice! That way each person can have their own temperate set. Maybe you can face the car in another direction so the sun isn’t beating down in your video. But you did a great job man and I enjoyed this video a lot. No complaints from me just a suggestion. And I love my dash cam. It’s a Garmin. I love it. It links to the smart phone

[@jordanb7144]

I got the gt-line in pearl white but not gone lie hate they didn’t have any GT trims in stock 🤦🏾‍♂️ if I had more time I would’ve waited. But I’m looking into trading up

[@emyhR]

How is the “Drive Mode” function? Does it like let you accelerate faster? I have 2017 Chevy Malibu and almost got in accidents trying to merge cuz it accelerates like dog shit lol

[@JamesBeBored]

When i put it in sport mode, my rpms immediately go up & it accelerates but not that bad tho.

[@2004cyrus]

Have you seen Kia’s new logo ? It’s pretty cool. And show us under the hood next time too! And also I keep plastic floor mats on top of the carpet floor mats too and it really really keeps the carpets clean and not getting soiled and smelly. Currently I have black rubber mats over the manufacturers carpeted mats.

[@2004cyrus]

I notice on one of the packages on the GT2 I believe you can get Ventilated seats! It’s on the turbo model with 1.6 liter

[@chocolatewheelchair]

Dope video man 🔥🔥

[@JamesBeBored]

Thank you!

[@FedericoEManzo]

Great video!! I want one now!!

[@JamesBeBored]

Thank you. Go for it!

[@charlinebrooks8917]

I like the video son!

[@bryancaswell7586]

Just bought my 2021 forte gt line and wanna detail it. You should do a video on house to detail and what products and stuff

[@bryancaswell7586]

*how to detail. Hahah

[@kennethbaggett6359]

Great Job Lil Brother on this video

[@ricoe3288]

Looks good 👍....go to kiastuff.com and pick up a cargo net to keep stuff from flinging around in your trunk or you could use the spare tire well to hold the bottles...just a thought because I hate hearing stuff bumping around back there...good luck with her.

[@JamesBeBored]

Clutch! Lol thank you, ill have to check that out but trust me i will take care of her

[@ricoe3288]

@@JamesBeBored 👍

[@thriftygemini653]

You should review the dash cam. I’m interested in buying one.

[@JamesBeBored]

i gotcha

[@Silidons91]

I think these look sick.

[@JamesBeBored]

I appreciate it! Lol

[@acoruna5421]

I like the GT 6speed, why don't you get the GT manual? You can get nice mats in Amazon.

[@JamesBeBored]

Well unfortunately, none of that matters now lol. If you watch my most recent video, you’ll see why

[@acoruna5421]

Jamés...ahhh you got K5, niceee congratulations. Goodluck hope you enjoy and keep for long time.

[@JamesBeBored]

@@acoruna5421 thank you! & yeah, i will

[@2004cyrus]

Looks like you just need a plastic storage container in your trunk. I have some from Walmart in my trunk so all the little stuff doesn’t roll around and make noise.

[@kalebschumaker1035]

Do you know exactly what package you got? Was it the premium package?

[@2004cyrus]

Oh you got the aluminum capped foot pedals! Nice !

[@cedrickharris2066]

It is hot!! I'm looking for my first car you got me wanting to get one!

[@kennethbaggett6359]

I have the same color 2021 Kia Forte GT/Line bought it 10-15-21 I love this car good Acceleration and good on Gaa

[@saldanapete10]

Awesome ride! 👍🏽👌🏽

[@malikmcgowan231]

That car clean!

[@courtneymorgan9341]

Hey if you don’t mind could you do a quick night time video with all of the lights on? I love this car !!

[@JamesBeBored]

Ok i got you! Be sure to follow my social media’s. Instagram for sure because my car page is on my main page & ill post it there most likely

[@2004cyrus]

You are cute too James ! I’m surprised you got that 5% tint tho lol

[@Bfeh]

How are the speakers? Sound quality

[@JamesBeBored]

They great! I’ll put a little snippet in my next video

[@Bfeh]

@@JamesBeBored I like blasting music when I drive so the speakers are an important part of the car I pick😂😂

[@JamesBeBored]

@@Bfeh facts! My girl know how i roll. I hate riding silently lol

[@lorainlee7794]

I have the same car. Its dope asf

[@matthewriser1091]

How tall are you ? I’m mid video but I’m a tall guy . Wondering if I’ll have any legroom

[@JamesBeBored]

Im 5’10

[@crisbowman]

From other reviews it doesn't help in the back seats but you can push the front ones back. The knee room isn't much to rave about though.

[@briancampbell3242]

Just bought one im 6.3 I have plenty of head room

[@antoniodaehler4673]

Any transmission issues? I know the 2019’s were having the IVT die around 5k miles

[@JamesBeBored]

Nah i didnt have any. I traded it in around 8500k miles & it was all good

[@antoniodaehler4673]

Bet. Why you trade it in though?

[@JamesBeBored]

@@antoniodaehler4673 i wanted the k5 when i got the forte but couldnt so i got that for awhile & then finally got the k5 lol

[@justrione]

Just got one yesterday

[@miku7873]
