LIVE: 2023 KIA Forte LX - Is this vehicle replacing the Rio?

[@tomdrummy4984]

Gabi is a natural at this…..or you could say…..it’s her forte ! 😃🙃 hee hee

[@247Coby]

I ordered the model above this on the hatchback 5 door on silver colour with all the extras added. I'm still waiting shipment and delivery to me in Australia. I chose this because I had 2 Corolla hatchbacks in the past and wanted something a little bigger and less boring this time around. The two circular air vents in the front remind me of my old Corolla which brings back some fond memories.

I❤my Kia Forte just bought a 2023

[@charlespresley8238]

I purchased a Kia Forte lxs in March 2023 pearl white I paid 26000 out the door excluded was plate an insurance now have two thousand miles on her happy so far gas mileage decent 73 mph lower get 40 mpg 74 up get 36 high way would recommend the forte still not broken in yet about 4000 will be broken in 4 stars out of five I looked at the civic Corolla they were 4000 more less options have a blessed day

[@rogerayala6878]

26k was a bit too much for it but its still a nice car... I live in PR and I got that same one the LXS, red color though and it only costed me 25k, and mind you, I live in PR, cars here are usually around 3 to 4k more expensive than anywhere else! But still, pretty good, solid, reliable car! Hope yours last a long time!

[@robertmaxa6631]

Is the Forte available with a standard transmission?

[@rodneygough4532]

I would tottaly buy this. Dont need all that fancy stuff that many cars have now days. For me this would be perfect, but I would throw on a set of alloy rims to spruce it up

[@rogerayala6878]

Then youd get the LXS, comes with some nice 16 allow rims which actually look kinda nice!

[@JL-is9rg]

​@@rogerayala6878This is Canada. No LXS

[@AL-kc4kg]

Slim but curvy, I meant the car…

[@brendenaerosmithfarr8226]

I have a 2021 Lx. Great Car. I upgraded to the factory 16inch alloys. The original 15inch are just too small and ugly on steel rims with wheel covers

[@RigiLiquid945]

how much is it to buy the spare tire for this, with the jack kit?

[@davidcohen2762]

Standard features, idk about that. I have the brochure right in front of me. The EX actually comes equipped with a good amount of stuff but this thing doesnt even have a rear centre armrest or tire pressure monitor. Heck you dont even get any of the safety features unless you go EX.

[@KasimTurkoglu]

Very nice video with a lot of informations. Thanks Gabi

[@PhilominaBendeh]

Does this model have open roof?

[@williebutsch8948]

Will Kia make an electric Sorento?

[@LisaHarper-zg2qc]

Would requesting chrome door handles cause a big wait time?

[@BrantfordKia]

The Factory doesn't offer a chrome door handle option so I have no comment on wait time. However you could probably find some options online.

[@marinoint]

Really hope the base Elantra would have fold down rear seat back too.

[@Darkheart1964]

I have a 2023 RIO. Good luck doing better than that lol. The best of both worlds. 36/41 mpg respectively, and my 120 HP smokes Elantras and Fortes all the time lol. Not just that, but I believe that my RIO will outperform any entry level vehicle on the market. Not that I bought my RIO for racing, but still lol.

[@rlatkdgns162]

lol you got rio cuz its little cheaper than forte didnt ya

[@dbzownz12345]

@@rlatkdgns162 rio really isnt much cheaper than forte if you go for S package. LX is pointless as you dont even have cruise control, so that alone would make difference over yrs in gas savings. Anybody who gets an LX rio is an idiot imho

[@rogerayala6878]

You got the Rio cause you couldnt pay for the Elantra or the Forte huh? Its ok, we all find ways to justify our purchases!... You didnt make a bad purchase at all so dont need to sound all goofy trying to justify it, RIOs are pretty nice cars, simple... Cheap, get you from point a to point b... You dont need any of the tech crap cars nowadays have!

[@dbzownz12345]

@@rogerayala6878 actually, you do. Atleast, with Kia/Hyundai it's a good idea to have push-button start at least for safety. Kia Connect & Hyundai's Bluelink are GPS trackers inside the car. I'd def opt for those options. Not sure if Honda/Toyota offers has in their newer cars or anybody else for that matter. Maybe BMW/Mercedes cause they cost 2 yrs of people salary brand new nearly. I do agree with you points about Rio. Good A to B car with cheap + tech package could give you decent resale value

[@Darkheart1964]

Lol. Watch some reviews. The base model RIO out performs not only base model Fortes, but also most models of Versas and Corollas. Please keep in mind that the RIO is a subcompact and its main competitor is the Mitsubishi Mirage, so yeah, we're punching way outside our weight class and getting some KO's. The RIO has 50 more HP than it's closest competitor lol. @@rogerayala6878

[@PhilominaBendeh]

DOES THIS MODEL HAVE OPEN ROOF?

[@alyankovsky]

No heated sits in my 2023 Kia Forte LXS

[@joshuacamarena2556]

This car doesn't have a truck release? Who made that decision?

[@johnfranklin5277]

TRUCK?

[@classic287]

So no more $16,000 Kia? What about Hyundai Accent?

[@jumbonoval]

LUCKY SOB

[@KCGB414]

Kia Sonet?

[@melvinma]

Does anyone Gabi’s IG for sharing ?

[@porfiriato84]

This car is so basic.... But pretty reliable 😅 I've had my 2017 forte base model for 6 years and I've had one recall. The trunk wouldn't latch SMH. I'm keeping it for one more year then trade it for the '24 Elantra N or 24 mustang GT.

[@andriykalatskyy5948]

We all clicked this video not for the car, we all know that ;)

[@jaysmokin]

Bro what😂

[@ridwan8648]

nah that’s just you bro

[@MarkLuffman]

Treasure!

[@aseroxmilez]

Forte is the cerato right😅

[@247Coby]

Yes

[@Brian-om2hh]

It won't replace the Rio in Britain. Nobody buys small cars with a boot/trunk here. They prefer a hatchback.....

[@oligendreau2111]

The forte is a hatchback too, they make both the sedan and the hatchback

[@yusufsrwk3804]

Hallo good morning

[@yasseralsaidi1168]

So many poor Americans did rely on the Rio because its very affordable

[@BrantfordKia]

It's sad to see it go, I wish there was a bigger sedan market in North America. Unfortunately, many people are moving towards SUVs

[@mikethompson9359]

What ever happened to Peter?

[@freak66969]

Moved provinces, he has his own channel now.

[@LuisSilva-ic1zp]

😂

[@LuisSilva-ic1zp]

He reversed it

[@michaelp8476]

She said 2023 is about change and transformation. I stopped watching at that point.

[@andrespelaez315]

Let's see how many people unsubscribe after you said you had a boyfriend 😅
