Bought it in January. Best features for the price hands down. Engine power, dct trans, steering, handling, braking, and fuel economy are very impressive. Add in the heated and ventilated seats, navigation, safety features, very good sound system and with Kia's warranty it really is the best in this segment.

I love that IVT transmission, it is so smooth and fuel efficient but not dronny like other CVTs

I had a fully loaded 2021 Kia K5 EX and decided to switch up after moving farther away from family and church. Got the 2024 Forte GT with Sport trim (spoiler) with every available feature, same as my K5, one week ago today. Steel gray with some new kind of paint finish that it says never needs waxing. The trim, seats, sunroof, interior and screen are same as this video. The look and front, fog and dashed rear lights are super cool. It handles well and is comfortable (I'm 6'), and roomy enough for passengers and freight (just moved, holds a lot of stuff). The turbo engine comes in handy when I feel zippy or need to get ahead (LOL) and the gas mileage is good. The K5 was sweet I must admit...I miss it, as it was a stunner. But it was large, heavier, and the gas mileage wasn't that great (especially if you used the turbo). Still, this smaller brand new Kia Forte is perfect for me in this season since it has all of the amenities I wanted and I now have a brand new warranty. Bonus, mine has a button that allows me to turn on the rear camera when sitting. I was waiting for someone at night, used the camera to watch and make sure no one was walking up behind me. As a lady driving alone, I love this feature!!

i own a ‘24 forte gt that i just purchased. it is such a fun little car, and provides everything necessary to have a fun, engaging, and reliable experience. and for the price, you can’t beat it. unfortunately, it has been/will be discontinued shortly, so if you’re in the market i suggest moving quickly.

How's the driver seat? Comfortable or stiff? I expect it to be a bit stiff because it's a sports sedan but would like to hear your opinion since you're an owner of this vehicle.

Going later this week to take a look at this. I'm trading in my current car, mainly because I have an absurd interest rate and it has issues, it's my first car. But Kia is offering the most trade in value. Hopefully the numbers and everything works out. I will definitely update this comment if I do get the Kia Forte.

I'll take this over civic accord camry and corolla. Looks miles better, more aggressive. And you get heated/cooled seats and sunroof under $28K and nice warranty. It might don't have as good of resale value as competition, because most still live in mid 2000s🤣

@anthonykiedis1765 10 ай бұрын

It also won't have the same level of reliability, which in return is what affects the resale.

@i.d.6492 10 ай бұрын

@@anthonykiedis1765 I absolutely disagree. Kia now is more reliable than Honda. Honda has been having electrical recalls, air bag recalls etc. These new modern kias can easily last 200K miles with proper maintenance. But it doesn't matter because even 100 years from now they'll still have bad resale value of the stigma that they've build back in early 2000s

I have a 2024 LXS in Deep Sea blue (which is the exact same color as the GT here so it’s funny to hear they’ve given it 2 names) , bought brand new about 3 weeks ago…I really wanted the GT but our payments were already sky high due to multiple outside reasons. However! I absolutely adore the lxs as well. It does have a sport mode (and smart). The screen always shows me that “maybe I need to take a break” when I’m getting too distracted. I’m a knee driver and it’s already told me to put my hands back on the wheel 😅, every time I leave the car it always reminds me to check my back seats ❤ . I have A LOT of features on this car, way too many to list. The ONLY DOWNSIDE I know of to this car is its volume. To hear the radio well enough you will already have it turned half way up the limit to start with. That bothers me a bit. But this is FAR from a BASIC car for sure! Wow 🤩!

If you're driving on those conditions it's not the best but doable. Snow tires would definitely help or an AWD vehicle. I've driven FWD in that in PA plenty though and it is doable if you're careful.

How is it that the Elentra gets top IHHS ranking but this doesn't?

@GlennLaycock 10 ай бұрын

The Elantra moved to the Tucson's frame in 2021 - one or two years earlier than planned as that platform was exceeding expectations so well - and the Elantra had dropping sales and there was pressure to get something new out there. They moved the motor and engine (longer nose) and put in very advanced engine mounts and so on (as I understand the powertrain is lower and forward more, so the driver is on top more - I think that is how it works), also the SUV frame is stronger; they even left the AWD tunnel in as it makes it stronger and saved re-engineering costs (but a bump in the back floor).

I didn’t even notice it til you mentioned it. The 3.5mm is on my 21’ GT2, but I never had to use it anyway. Only thing I’m missing out on the newer models are the remote start and bigger infotainment screen. Too bad they got rid of the manual handbrake as well.

So now I own the car out right because I paid it during this down time of over 2 years but as I was sending it from mechanic to mechanic and then back to the original place I purchased it Carriage Kia who's the only suggestion was that I replace the engine and they can get it to me for $6,000. No thank you. But if you're interested in purchasing this 2017 Kia forte from me please do. Pm me
