My wife drives a 2016 LX model in Red with black interior. I seriously would love one for my self in Snow White pearl

I have exactly the same car, but mine has the start button and not the hole to insert the key, but it is a 2017 forte s, and it has more functions than this one, one more is that it has a button to close the doors mirrors automatically when you turn off the car, so why this one doesn't it have those functions? how many types of kia forte s are there?

[@tacocruiser4238]

Elantra or Forte? I think the Elantra looks classier but the Forte is more sporty/aggressive.

is that a camera right next to the touch screen?

buying this car Tues. I wish it had fog lights and wish they would add the technology package or premium package but it's still a nice looking car.

By the way the pockets on the doors . those aren't cup holders. Those are for bottles only. And it doesn't get 38 miles per gallon unless you are only driving 45 miles per hour. Trust me I got one. Mine is white. And I got up tp 45 miles per gallon only driving between 35 and 45 miles an hour.

I got 45.3 MPG combined driving for over 90 minutes at 75 mph freeway speeds and 30-45 in stop and go traffic. And it's barely getting broken in. I can expect to see those numbers climb as it gets properly broken in. Disclaimer it is a 6 speed manual with the 16 inch alloys and no additional equipment. Not quite the stripped down model but no fancy equipment either. And I'm not an agressive driver, I up shift spinning at around 2.3k RPM and I coast when possible . I take off from first and almost never get past 3.2K RPM in first gear.

If you are a female, or a dude who doesn't study cars, then this review is for you. Truly a Lamen's perspective.

[@py1211]

Sure it is not a professional review but it's suffice for me to choose between the S or the LX trim.

[@robotech1990]

No spare wheel?? No buy.

[@AladdinSaneNYC]

Unfortunately this is a lame review.
