Road Test: 2014 Kia Forte

At first glance it's obvious that this 2014 Kia Forte sedan takes on the Euro-inspired design language of other recent Kia's.

I loved my 2011 Forte and I'm going to love my 2014 too !

My 2014 Kia Forte gets to 60 mph in a little under 8 seconds. My brakes are great. I think the engine noise is fantastic. I love the digital block gas gauge and found the seats to be fantastic on long 6-8 road trips, which I do on my job regularly. I've owned mine for one year now and still love it. Pretty good review but I just disagree with the nitpicks.

Lmfao! "An engine that sounds like it was made by fisher price" that was awesome. Good looking car though. Front end kinda reminds me of a BMW 3 series and the back looks like a focus sedan

Should've reviewed the 2014 Forte Koup...

@MotorWeek, please review the new Kia Forte5 SX Turbo. I own this car and it's absolutely a great buy. I don't think many people know it exist in the lineup of Forte vehicles.

thats what i was thinking too Matt

Still loving my 2010. Gets the job done, commuting, and otherwise. A true L.A. to Vegas and back warrior! 35 MPG minimum, and no one complains along the way. Does a 2 liter, 4 banger really need more than 4 gears? No. Too many choices. And the donk on that warranty?!? Truly an LA face on an Oakland booty.

I thought this was the second generation? I really like the hatchback form a lot.

[@basiccartips]

I'm with you on that. Nice looking car indeed.

[@ExistUNDRGROUND]

Are you thinking of a different car..? This is only the second generation..

[@hnnotyy]
