This car is absolutely loaded for the price
The $1900 GT2 package is definitely a must have!👍
I took a test drive the other day (it was white as well). I loved it! The looks, handling, engine sound, etc. were fantastic!
thank you so much for this review , its just what I was looking for!
I own a 2023 Kia Forte GT2 with the DCT transmission and I love this car ! 🎉🎉 If you think this car is nice stock you have to see it how fast and responsive it gets after installing aftermarket parts it will blow your mind !!!!! 🤯
I changed the whole exhaust system starting from the Down pipe, mid pipe and axel-back exhaust , added a oil catch can a BOV with the selenoide, an CAI with the snorkel , engine struts bar a mid point chasis bar a rear sway bar , lowering springs and a JB4 with a tune from N75 . It really changes the way this car feels and there's more upgrades that you could install to this car is unbelievable !!!
Man 😅 how much would you charge for that? 😅
Great! I’d like to know how much was all of it.
After putting that much money into it you might have been able to get a K5 GT.
@@shivpalps7653 the K5 GT is almost 10K more than the Forte GT I paid 27k for mine " Forte GT " if I was looking to buy the K5 GT I would have bought a Stinger right ?😎 😁 The K5 GT and the Forte GT are too different cars one is a mid size the other is a compact and the Forte was built to take it to the track !
@@GR33ZY.A1 you can do all this yourself it's not difficult all you need is the right tools and time to do it 🙂
Insane new Kia Forte sedan I wanted to buy.
The comment about the lack of road noise is very interesting. I have this same car (except it’s a’23) and the loud road noise is the thing I like least about it. The wind noise is surprisingly quiet though.
Nicely Done, Thanks for the review.
Thanks for watching! Hit the subscribe button if you’re new and stay tuned for the next reviews of the 2024 Nissan Versa SR and 2024 Subaru Ascent Touring!
I keep my eyes open for those videos!
Amazing review bro.
Thanks much for doing this awesome review. I never thought I could see myself driving around in a 4 door but for this car I would make an exception! Im driving a low mileage Civic coupe right now but im thinking I need to at least take this rocket for a test drive. Years ago I had an AWD Eagle Talon TSi turbo and that turned out to be my favorite car ever. When you got into it the acceleration reminded me a lot of the Eagle.So anyway I'm over here in Largo but I might have to get myself across the Howard Frankland and pay this dealer a visit ! 🙂
Thanks for the intro, I just bought this exact car and I am waiting now for delivery
You'll be more than happy bro
Omg it took 7monts until I got mine x.x but absolutely loving everything about the car it’s worth the wait!
That faux carbon that you said is actually an ambient light that change colors when you change modes between normal , sport or smart or you can choose the color you want from the 10.25 flat screen
I bought a 23 gt2 and yes must have the gt2 package , actually got scared the first time I stomped on it this car has some real pop to it
Doing rips with almost no gas left, thats very good for the fuel pump especially on a brand new car.
as long as its not bone dry it shoudnt matter
I love my 2024 Kia Forte GT in white (auto). Fun car. Mine is a base one because I was trying to hit a number. Paid $25,410.
great review, thanks. i owned a 2010 and a 2015 forte (2 liter, 173 hp...supposedly) and now drive a 2019 jetta which i love (have gotten 55mpg).
I just bought one today in Sporty Blue
Amazing car ❤🎉
i need a comparison between this and the mazda 3 turbo
I have a 2010 Forte with almost 200k miles. Really interested in maybe upgrading to a GT.
Original engine and transmission?
Yes
Hello, how would you compare this to the base model Integra CVT? Driving dynamics, comfort, fit and finish? Thanks!
Perhaps KIA has added some sound deafening to its under chassis?
How come you didn’t show the Dealer mark up part of the sticker . So sick of dealers ripping us off .
Awesome review.
Is that a true dual exhaust or one side fake?
True dual.
What do we think about longevity on this vehicle???
28k
Heated/Cooled seats
DCT
Best bang for the buck
This Forte is based on the 2017 Elantra Sport. It's a nice car. Hyundai/Kia did a good job. I feel like it's a little expensive though considering the Mazda3 Preferred has nearly the same power standard and it too has a premium small car vibe, but for less money.
Issue is with the mazda3 is that its incredibly bare bones in terms of features compared to this. Youre really paying for what you get here. Show me another car that has this many features (((especially the ventilated seats and rear air vents)))) for less than 36k
I have the 2019 Elantra sport version and wouldn’t recommend. DCT transmission had to be replaced at 30k miles. The steering creeks when turning and Hyundai can’t figure out where it comes from. Now the paint is peeling.
👍🏻👍🏻
Do their DCTs hold up? Ford's Getrag DCT was a disaster.
My 2021 is the exact same even in the interior. Only difference is the logo swapped. They lacked these last few years kinda sad and funny how my 21 gt limited is the same as the 24s... lol
I have 2 weird situations Forte GTs lined up on me and wanna race with my car lol! 😂
Sounds just like the Elantra n line. Wonder if it’s the same 1.6 turbo.
Yes, elantra n-line is kinda the same BUT not quite lol the Elantra has the smartstream 1.6t whereas the Forte keeps the OG. Im not too sure of the differences other than the one in the Forte is the reliable one bc its been around longer and worked on and improved on longer than the smartstream. I remember reading somewhere that the 1.6t smartstream still does not have a proper tuning platform.
The Forte actually first came out in 2010 not 2008 I used to own the forte's predecessor a 2008 Kia spectra as with a manual transmission the last year for the spectra was 2009
I have it and I love this little sleeper to pick up my kid for school lol #dadcar
The rims on the GT line are way different and they are 17" compare to the GT 18" !!!
This is sick but I think I'd rather get the Toyota Corolla XSE.
Here we go
Nice
Nice but I prefer the Elantra n-line 2024
Can you still get this with a manual transmission
Yep! At least in the states
With the manual you get summer tires and the GT2 package is not an option.
If it’s comes manual transmission worth buying
It comes 6 speed manual transmission but the DCT is faster and better and gas mileage !!!
Yes, its fun as hell pushing through mountain roads in w Virginia with the manual.
Much better than the Civic SI and for 27K.
It's not a white metallic paint , it's called Snow ❄️ white 🤍 pearl
No, it is white metallic.
No, it's seashell white
I thought it was screamin’ semen
@@cgmiddleactually it’s Snow White pearl you dumb ass
Shut up.
Other then a Kia boy trying to steal it this ain’t bad at all wow
This car has keyless pushbutton start and an immobilizer, not a key tumbler inside the steering column that’s ridiculously easy to get to like with the older cars.
i have 2023 GT2 on red color, it's looks very sexy, on freeways it's driving like crazy 200hp , on citys it's driving very fast, very quick shift from 1 to 3 , for that money it's amazing choice
Do you think the 7 speed dct transmission will last about to buy this car in 2 weeks 2024
Im a toyota fan because of longevity but I really like how this car looks
Was that English?
@@kennymccormick8295 es español mejor is this language better
IT's an automatic, that's a no go for me. Not sure why you didn't showcase the manual?
Is there anyone who is 5’1 or shorter that has used this car? Is it good for us short people or no? Cus I’m not getting the Kia Soul it’s hideous
a way better value vs the K5 IMO
traded my 23 k5 gt line in for a 24 forte gt2 best decision i love the forte.
@@19schneider85 interesting! if you don't mind my asking do you pay a higher insurance policy for it being a Kia?
Does it have android auto, wired or wireless?
Yes, both Apple and Android
If it were really $27K, this would be a sweet deal! Has anyone found a KIA dealer that doesn't try to rape your wallet BS add-ons? This particular dealers site shows "market adjustment not included in price." The other things you have to look out for are the garbage tacked on $3000 Advantage plans and $1K+ paint protections plans.
You can, and should, say no to add ons. If the dealer is unwilling to, walk away. You absolutely do not need add-ons, maybe just GAP. Never buy ANY car for over its MSRP. I bought my 2021 GT at the end of 2020 for $24,500 price of car, MSRP was $26,350. Different times but I still hear of some ppl getting good deals. So, shop around
Not sure if you’re local but these guys don’t have any add ons, and currently have 4-5 Forte GT’s available so you might even get a decent discount 👍🏼
I brought 2023 kia gt2 all bell and whistles Msrp 30k, asking 32k after everything is 38k after taxes.
@@dtango8345Damn. I dont think there’s a GT with an msrp of 30k.
I think the highest msrp ive seen is $27800. They most likely got you with about 4k in add ons of some sort. Ouch
@@dtango8345 Appreciate the response. That would be an acceptable deal during the peak of Covid supply disruption, but certainly not now. Forte GT is a nice ride w/ a ton of standard features, but not over $30K+ otd nice in a rapidly slowing car market.
To bad this hasn't come in a hybrid if possible.
The new K4 sucks lol
Kia is pure drek the ilx acura is way better build car good for 300000 miles
I have the 2019 Elantra sport version and wouldn’t recommend. DCT transmission had to be replaced at 30k miles. The steering creeks when turning and Hyundai can’t figure out where it comes from. Now the paint is peeling.
Gotta take better care of your vehicle.
