Owned a KIA Cerato (K6, Forte) and I bought the sport model which was around 28,000. Now the sport model didn’t have keyless entry, push button start etc it barely had any features. The 2.0L was slow, loud and absolutely terrible on fuel economy. Ride and comfort was okay and it was quite spacious but would never buy again unless kia/hyundai make big changes to those models that need refurbishment asap. I’m still kinda confused why they are going to give the new sportage the 2.0L for 2 trims when clearly it’s terrible and multiple people have complained over the 2.0L engine that kia and hyundai just throw in every vehicle. KIA/Hyundai is okay but I wouldn’t buy one for now till I see big changes being made.
I think I like the Forte GT a bit more than this. These CVTs are plaguing the car marketplace. Kias ICVTs aren’t terrible but they still feel like they only have 1 gear :(
Like i said before..when we get the updated 2022 forte or K3 in the states. we are not getting that new 10.25 inch gauge cluster but we might get the updated touchscreen radio..typical kia
A bit disappointed. Alloys are not that great, as usual a dark and somber interior Kia seems unable to put tome life in its interiors. As for the CVT, well which car doesn't have one? I'm in the process of buying a new car and I think I will look for a Mazda which I don't like thatch but still has a tru automatic transmission. Kia owners, how is your Kia with a CVT?
Hi! Greetings from Mexico 🇲🇽 , I own a 2019 KIA Forte and it has been really nice. It’s definitely not the fastest car but no issues at the moment and I’m happy with it!
Frankly, that’s complete bullshit. The former CEO of BMW took over for Kia and the quality of their cars is second to none. You haven’t sat in or test drive the new Kias. Not saying the Hyundai’s aren’t also nice, but you have to understand they’re sister companies and both come from South Korea. Many of their cars share the same parts
I disagree, one disappointment from the Elantra which is the K3’s sister car. Is it has no rear AC vents, and I’ll add that it doesn’t even have cooled seats, even in the Elantra limited.

1:45 scared the shit out of me
When I am buying the car I will buy a car from Korea between Hyundai and Kia. Believe me Koreans are becoming the best car manufacturers
En debatable
kia k3 GT sedan please
Whats the cabin noise like in city driving vs highway? Did you feel it was quieter or louder than similar Cars of its class ie corolla, civic
It's quieter than other rivals, but not by much.
A great car with great tech.

I hope this K3 has less road noise than the last year model.
This or the Elantra?

@@MotorgraphWorld thank you!!
elantra is hyundi always its better than kia with everything :))

Yep, you were right lol they just updated the website and no digital gauges smh
I like everything but the tires. They just don't add anything sleek or nice to the look imo. I prefer the old tires.
I don't like the 10.25" monitor. The 8 is better for apple car play
and wireless, which is not a "small bonus".

I want it to still be forte :(
BACK turnıng signals are not led and not located in proper place, 123 hp is not enough with cvt , I would prefer DCT gearbox
Get the GT.
Alloys are not great 😏
its good car but the quality of kia cars are less than hyundi .. frankly .. i will go to Elentra

@@MrSamwiseable yes iam agree with you .. i tried both kias and hyundi .. its similar but the quality is goes to hyundi

@@cogtager the forte gt has rear ac vents and available heated and cooled front seats .
