I really hope you put good tires on it. The single best upgrade you can do on a car is having good tires. It not only improves the handling and launch but safety also. Tires before Turbo. Remember kids.
I drove my Forte 2019around 800 km a week, its great, top speed for almost two and half hours at 170-180, smooth and control, when driving the same distance at 120km/h is gas saver around 5 lt per 100km
I just bought one 2019 Kia Forte lxs just lost for word so fast so nice of a car and Audi designer designed it for those who didn’t know best bang for ur buck
I hope that cvt transmission holds up.. one of my friends who drives like a maniac ended up replacing his in about a year(warranty covered, fortunately). Same driving style, says he had no problems with his previous forte.
@@GPN007a the gt with the 1.6 turbo has a 7 speed dual clutch traditional transmission you are correct, but this one in the video is the lower model gt “line” with the cvt and non turbocharged 2.0 4 cylinder.
It is not a traditional CVT, it is an IVT. Which means in the transmission it uses a chain, rather than a belt in a CVT. In translation, it should hold up better than any Nissan CVT
@@samcarter3327 yeah it’s got a factory limiters I’m having the motor rebuild after the piston rings blew at 50 k miles then Kia said I needed a new cluster then that took another two months now the valve seals leaking bc they rebuild the motor with oil gaskets and didn’t do a proper engine overhaul they wanted to charge me over 10 grand for a “new motor “ but all they swapped out was the block and used the old top end smh total scum bags they won’t even give me the build sheet
I got a 2022 Forte EX little over a month ago here in Ottawa and I'm loving it so far. Quick for a 4 banger. Handles great. Feels more like a luxury vehicle.
@zedone8253 if you drive fast, it gets thrashy and loud over 80 MPH. You're better off with 6 speed Mazda 3. I had both. Mazda is much more civilized.
Is it me or the care is very noisy? I am not talking about the motor but the wind blowing generated from the over 100KMH seems like really noisy on the highway.

Good job , that little forte sounds strong and Pepe.....
As a 2020 lxs owner the kia is pepe in sport mode it'll spin the tires to from rain while in it
But ima be honest I havent driven any brand new cars or cars in general (like my trusty 1500) so it might just feel peppy lol
Put the car in sport and really see her move

lol I just bought a 2016 Kia forte bad ass looks the same outside. just the inside here is much newer
@@intothewild8477 yea mine looks like my bro’s 2017 wrx I just 5% tint done
🤔over 120mph, that's pretty impressive. Especially since it's not even a GT. Which I'm sure can pull that plus a little bit more.
I think that's Kilometers per hour bro so that 120 is more like 70 mph.
@@GPN007a no, it's not. It's actually MPH. The speedometer is the same as mine. He must be in a US spec model.
It is in mph, read the speedometer exactly! And it was driven on German autobahn which has no speed limit part there
@@GPN007a that's mph. Sheesh
@@TESTDRIVEFREAK ahh ok understood. I just figured Germany = Kilometers Per Hour considering how much other Europeans clown us for using MPH. 🤣
Can you test top speed kia forte 2022 gt
I hope that cvt transmission holds up.. one of my friends who drives like a maniac ended up replacing his in about a year(warranty covered, fortunately). Same driving style, says he had no problems with his previous forte.
I might be wrong but I believe that's a Dual clutch not a cvt.
@@GPN007a it's a cvt. Pretty easy to know that from sound alone.

Just bought wife new car and part of the buy was NO CVTtrans
It is not a traditional CVT, it is an IVT. Which means in the transmission it uses a chain, rather than a belt in a CVT. In translation, it should hold up better than any Nissan CVT
I would want to see the rpms at those speeds. I would expect the cvt to overheat driving at those speeds.
Have mine up to 130-140 on almost daily basis, ride is smooth, handles great. Still haven’t see what she’ll go to yet though.
The 19” ex tops at 123 mph with the limiter still tryna figure how to remove it ggrrr
@@NJbassAnglerdid you figure it out ? im aldo curious

How would you rate the Forte overall vs similar models such as Civic, Jetta, and Corolla?
Hi,
Awesome video, how did you manage to register US spec car in Germany?
Nice to see Kia Cerato on European roads.
Another reviewer said this car gets shaky after 120 KM per hour, true or no? I'm debating between 2021 forte or elantra, low end model, automatic...
That's not true. I put 30k on mine and regularly drive 90mph. It's a slow reliable car, but not super slow.
@@610smoke thanks. I want the 2022 forte now, i like that look better but don't know when it's coming to Canada

Gets thrashy over 80 MPH.

Great video.👍😁
3:58 Another US imported I think??
Yes in Kaiserslautern is big US community with over 40k Americans, bcs of military base
Max speed I got my 2017 Kia Forte LX 2.0l was 122 mph
Its a *CVT*. Why is it *shifting* like a normal transmission???
CVT has shift points to make it behave like a regular trans.
what’s that piece in front of your gauge sitting behind the steering wheel
Gopro, for gauge footage
Was that in sport mode ?
Was handling smooth. Wonder what the ungoverned top speed would be.
yes handling was smooth, if ungoverned top speed would be 130-140 mph, in my experience lots 150 hp european cars can do 140 mph
@@TESTDRIVEFREAK What was the governed speed? 120 exactly?
@@TESTDRIVEFREAK if you didn’t know, kia isn’t European. It’s South Korean
@@imcorrect9122 My fiance has the same car. They're governed at 129
I am from Iraq and would like to have an American friend ❤️
BAD ANGLE SPEEDOMETER in your bottom right corner, please show up it straight, better view, and post 0-60 and 100-200 times too
His car topped at out 120MPH this morning.. amateurs don’t use nitrous oxide!!
I got that car to 133mph once same model
Funny, I happen the know the 6 speed manual can hit it's US 122MPH limiter no problem.
Edit: Fuck CVTs.
I went 143 in mine
Is that mph ?
@@CryptoBro ya
@@kylezLand nice 👍
Is yours gt?

noisy cabin
Cause it is using engine and if you think youd like to have a lambo it is much more annoying
