I am the happiest I could ever be right now. My Mom just gave me the keys to my first car. Which is a bright silver 2013 KIA Forte EX sedan! I love it!!
Cole Griffin good for you man
Do you still have the forte 2013 ? I'm about to buy one. Can you give me your opinion please ?
Harim Aguilar No like yeah totally. The car was honestly reliable all throughout the time I owned it. It never gave me any issues, it never died on me, it never failed me. I kept routine maintenance and it just kept going. Despite the small little four banger it had, the car got up and went. Considering how light it was as well. I was involved in a 40 MPH accident to where I actually rear ended someone’s car. No one was hurt, the car held up and kept me safe. Yes it wasn’t that fast of an accident but still. I’ve always felt safe within a KIA. Gas mileage was quite good with that car. I always got 30+ on average when I drove it. It’s a super economical little car. The only like, drawback I guess you could call it was this car and Wisconsin snow. This car did not like snow at all. It spun tires all the time and got stuck on basically nothing. Now I’m sure my tires had a play in it as they weren’t the best but with good tires I’m sure the car would be fine. Overall though, I loved the little Forte when I had it and I do recommend this car for anyone looking for a reliable, economical, safe and fun and cute car.
@@colemichael6409 wow what a review !
I have a 2013 2 door SX Koup and the only way to get max performance out of it is to put it into manual shift mode and use the paddles to bypass the ECU. The ECU in full auto is way to fast getting the trans into high gear for fuel econ. Shifts around 4500 + keep the engine rpms up and throttle response and power is much better. Overall I really like this car. Performance, standard features and handling are great especially for the price. Mixed driving mpg is 30.
I have this car in the sedan form. 2013 Kia Forte SX. It has a tight sport-tuned suspension, which handles corner like a dream! it's built for smooth, windy roads. On broken roads the ride can be a bit bouncy though but not bone shattering. It is reliable and haven't given me any mechanical issues so far. Great car imho!
I just bought the same exact car and the motor has to be replaced, and the transmission is super rough and probably getting replaced. Not only is the motor getting replaced though, but the engine is being gutted.
I still love the forte. Mine has 149k miles. I'm getting it fixed for free since I have a warranty with the dealership.
I have this same car in the hatchback variation ex. I've done some modifications like straight pipe a nice burble tune on the ecu and aftermarket rims. Next is putting it on bags
This is what every freaking car review should be like. Thorough with now words
I love kia forte car they are the best
Looks fine for first car
That car is so fast and dificult to take the control 🔥 first car? I don't think so 🤷♂️
Nice video, if you place the shifter in the manual spot, the throttle becomes much more responsive, and 0-60 is a lot quicker
I bought a 2014 EX Forte5 a few months ago.
I think the quality is there, but yours, being a turbo, is faster.
I miss a stick shift and good-handling suspension. The Kia has a "torsion bar" rear suspension, which is just a hollow steel bar. I can feel the difference, even from my former car, a 2000 Honda Civic Hatch DX.
So.... Tomorrow I'm going to check out how bad a bath I'd take if I trade it for a Scion FR-S.
Sad, in a way, but the Forte is too staid for me, even with a nice window tint.
Thanks for the ride!
Update: I did get an FR-S. After driving to & from Vegas (apx 280 mi each way), I miss the ergos, convenience (esp the back-up camera), room and comfort of the Kia!
Haha! Nothing's perfect, I guess.
So, Sunday I'm going to take yet another bath either swapping for my exact former Forte5, or downsizing a bit & getting a bit better handling with a Ford Fiesta.
+KutWrite lol
PS I did trade the FR-S... for an automatic. Over a year later, I still like it a lot.
KutWrite this was the 2.4 model. it wasnt even in manual mode. the 2.4 is pretty quick for a NA V4. they had it up to 200 hp on the optima. they should have upgraded it from 173 and 170. a few bolt ons and your over 200 hp and 200 ft lbs. I have seen the 2.4 optima go against the Veloster and it was neck and neck. if they upgraded to the 200 and 187 ft lbs in the forte I bet it would wipe the floor with the 1.6T
pls test the new turbo charged forte koup or 5 door sx model... i heard it has improved a lot in driving dynamics.
I bought the 2015 Forte5 SX Turbo, it's a blast to drive! I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a sporty hatchback.
i like how it starts off with the driving
Liquid Image goggles
Plz help me I want to play cruze control in my kia forte 2013 but it is 1600cc I can do that or no can anybody helps me to slove this problem
This car looks very nice
It's the same interior since 2010.
Can't wait for the new 2014 mazda 3, this car seams like it needs more sound deadening.
Really like the leather interior. Hate the paddle shifters. Paddles sound plasticky and shifts half a day after you tell it to shift.
I don't want anybody else to experience this frightening situation. Some people's Kia/Hyundai's are even starting on fire because of this issue. Even while parked and off!
Kia malfunctions and I still owed about $6000 on the financing.

Before I get into the engine failure, the first issue was my Kia Sorento not starting when I turned the key. This should have been a recall but they forced me (and others) to buy a new battery before they could diagnose the cause of the problem.
CAA tested my battery and refused to give me a new one because their machine gave the battery a 'pass'. I also knew the battery couldn't have been the cause of the no-start issue.
The cause of the no-start issue is a flaw in the security system that immobilizes the vehicle. If the user presses lock twice on the key fob, the following attempt at starting the engine would be seen by the vehicle as an unauthorized key/method being used to start the vehicle.
---
OK, back to the engine failure issue,
I was just contacted by Transport Canada several weeks after filing my initial report with them concerning the stalling of my 2015 Kia Sorento on the highway while I was with my wife and my 2 year old son. After the vehicle was restarted and having exited the highway, the engine began knocking loudly.
I took immediately to Mr. Lube who had always done my oil changes and other services, they showed my the oil level was fine and told me to have it inspected.
I took it to Plaza Kia the following morning who diagnosed it and in their final report stated the cause of the engine failure was lack of lubrication.
Well, there was plenty of oil in there and I began reading many other people having this issue around the Canada and the USA.
I even had the computer updated which was supposed to have extended my drivetrain warranty to 10 years and/or 200,000km. The service department still said I had to pay almost $10,000 for a new motor.
This issue is not limited to the Kia Sorento. Many Kia/Hyundai motors in various models are experiencing this catastrophic mechanical failure.

My 2015 Kia Sorento was one of their defective models that developed engine failure in early December of 2020.
Many of their vehicles should have been recalled but Hyundai/Kia has failed to do the right thing.
Do not buy Hyundai or Kia before googling Hyundai Kia engine failures and fires.
They had no interest in caring for me as a customer. They just told me I should buy a new Kia.
[The lawsuit alleges numerous GDI engines are defective, including 2-liter and 2.4-liter "Theta II" engines, “Gamma” 1.6-liter engines, “Nu” 2-liter engines and “Lambda II” 3-liter, 3.3-liter and turbocharged 3.3-liter GDI engines.]

Plaza Kia Richmond Hill Ontario Canada
I'm lucky that I got a warranty on my car BC of how many miles it has. The motor in my forte is being replaced because of knocking rods and a few other things. Actually, the whole engine is being gutted because of so many little issues. I guess this could be because of how many miles it has, but idk. I think the transmission is going out too.
Better then Honda in my opinion
Honda is crap
Is that year engine reliable?
Gorgeous. Want this but probably gonna get the Accent SE cuz of the price
Thank god Kia got a new car designer for 2014 because that body style is so 1970"s.
How does it drive it in rain and snow?
jetta look a like 2006 kia optima from back, and proportion,
also check mad vw ceo on autoshow when he tests hyundai/kia out and why
How so?
I just got rid of my VW. I am thinking about buying a new car. Is Kia Forte a good choice?
do the 2015 model
A pet peeve of mine is a steering wheel like this one where the center doesn't line up with the steering column so it looks like the wheel is bent when you turn the wheel.
Were you driving in Detroit?
Shot horizontally:)
Kia and hyundai are getting better but are waaayyy to overpriced for what they are. They are not at the level of toyota and honda with reliability and resale value yet they charge as much as honda and toyota do maybe a little less.
interesting road 2:00
OMG..what is that horrible hollow clang?? Is that the paddle shifters clacking away?? If I bought this car I would regret it EH-VER-REE DAY.
It makes a base $15K Jetta seem high class.
I absolutely love the footage those goggles give, but I would feel like such a dork wearing them lol. I think we all appreciate what the brief feeling of stupidity brings :P
추억이네용
OK car
10!!!!
slovaKIA
Too bad the 2014 Forte is arriving soon.
i bought this car well the koup sx 2010 and its the worst car I ever owned, in 60 000kms 2 transmission rebuild, a lot of rattles inside, even with perfectly fine anlignement tire use inegally if you have to buy this car buy the 6spd automatic version or nothing and wait for the new forte that came out soon i finished to sell it and bought an Acura csx 2009 ! at 65 000kms, PURE GARBAGE
They are not even close to the level of VW or other German European manufacturers either. I honestly would say Honda is overpriced for what you get though...
why do you want goggles lol
Or, you just got a lemon.
FAQU _!_
Ugly steering wheel
Kia=garbage any other brand is better
