I'm probably one of the few that really likes the design of the car, especially the rear. Its just long enough to not look like a hatchback. Reminds me of my CTS wagon.
I love this mix of design. A bit of hatch, wagon and coupe is a good kind of crossover. Check the new Hyundai i30n fastback for a great example of this trend.
Literally 8 hours ago I was disappointed to see that the only videos on this car were Kia dealership walk around videos....and then I wake up to this, killing it guys!
The is my favorite non-premium car review from you guys in a long time! Love the collab with Sketch Monkey, love the double box test, and the little things like showing it driving in reverse, the piped in sound, and even dropping the coffee cup on the cup holder test. Shows that you guys care about staying creative and not afraid to try new stuff and that's super cool, keep it up!
Elgoog Ssie obviously they don’t edit anything, I mean duuuh, they just throw all the footage on the computer and it magically comes together like this... They literally said they had already done the box test but Jakub said to just put it in again, it was more for fun.
These real people car reviews are the best ones! I think you guys should do a large-scale comparison between all cars like this at the same time. Make the video 30+ minutes long and I'd be happy to watch a current 2019/20 comparison between all of them. A lot of your viewers are in the market, like myself.
Man, I love this video. The small little moments like the double box test, dropping the coffee cup into the cup holders, the hot diggity dog made this review much more entertaining compared to some of the more recent ones. Thanks guys!
Go KIA!! I’m glad their making fastbacks! So tired of every vehicle manufacturer ditching cars for bloody SUVs!! Love the looks, both inside and out! 2:49 - also awesome job with the photoshopping skills!
I just picked up a used 2018 Hyundai Elantra GT Sport w/ 15k miles and really love it. I cross shopped w/ Mazda6, Mazda3, GTI and Forte GT. Overall I liked everything I drove but I couldn't justify the $ of buying something new and the value of the Elantra GT was great compared to the Mazda's and GTI. Add in the remaining warranty and I feel it was a win!
@Mark Nichollsthe rear end of the cerato/forte 5 hatch just looks awful, compared to the whole Kia ceed family. Just google it and it's not necessary to get foul-mouthed and to insult other people just because of their opinion.
I got a 2020 Forte GT sedan. I’m got a 6 speed manual (USA). Like the looks of the sedan over the 5 door looks. Fun car to drive. Great value for the money.
I got one recently also and it's great! I opted for the 7 speed dual clutch since my wife drives it on occasion but it's still very sporty when you want it to be.
Its depressing that this model didn't make it to the US. It's almost exactly what I've been looking for. It also sucks that North America in general doesn't get wagons these days. The ProCeed in Europe is essentially a Forte wagon and I think it looks awesome.
Holy.. I currently drive a Civic (and will always love Honda) but Kia has been stepping it UP lately. I wouldn't mind having one of these or the upcoming Optima.
I bought this car (2021 version with manual transmission) about 10 months ago. Love it! Its our family of four car. With our two teenage boys we have no trouble packing up everything we need and hitting the road for vacation in it with all our stuff. over 6ft never an issue with head and leg room front or back. Personal I don't get SUVs but that's just my opinion, to each is own. For me ... no SUVs and no Auto trans ever so long as there are practical manual options out there. Love all the practical storage space in its fastback trunk. The controversial rear end design as commented on in this video actually lends the car to have a huge load floor in back way better than any traditional hatchback out there with more storage under the floor! Also love that I get 201hp running 87 octane as opposed to other cars in this class requiring premium fuel in their similar power rated motors. The manual trans final drive is too short though in this car pulling too many revs when cruising at high speed however this short final drive make for the car being quick getting to that speed. Despite the gearing car actually gets good fuel economy. Also love that I never see another car like mine on the road .. ever ... and the exclusivity also drew me to this car like with my Nissan NX2000 I had when I was a kid, never saw another one.
I own a Forte 5 GT Limited, I tested the Civic Sport Touring and the Entrant GT N-Line and chose this due to the more space in the hatch for my dog. The Forte 5 GT handed better than the civic and was more fun to drive in an Auto. The GT N-Line was fun, but has a much smaller trunk space. All in all I am loving this car, it is great in the snow and on dry days it fun to drive on some twisty roads. I am looking forward to the summer when I can get the 18"s on it.
I like that they now sell a version with a 6 speed single clutch - and instead of a computer handling the shift, there is an extra pedal and the driver controls it!
The european vesion (called Ceed Proceed GT) looks a lot better. In europe we call them "Shooting Brakes" and should present a sporty wagon with less space - comparible to the SUV Coupes.
YAY!!!! They finally reviewed it. I bought a Cerato (Forte) GT hatch back in February but here in Australia it has been insanely discounted at $31, 990 Driveaway (But that's in AUD!!!). It's awesome! Though, I kind of like how it's not a hatchback or a wagon. It's unique, it has more space then a hatch but isn't a wagon. GTI Costs a lot more than this. Golf GTI in Australia costs $51, 000 +.... EDIT: Also the Australian spec of this doesn't pass the visor test 😠
Recently picked up a '21 Forte GT (no hatch). Car is the perfect mix. I agree with the paddles being great. Overall It's like a Supra had a baby with a 4 banger Camry. It's a dad GT... Perfect for a dad like me.
Ive owned one in Australia for 6 months - cost $32k AUD which is about 15k cheaper then a GTI or the next best thing. Value wise it was no question. the suspension 'softens up' after about 2000km but still handles like its on rails. Surprised you didnt mention the heated and cooled seats.... dunno what id do without them....
Great shoutout to sketchmonkey! Subscriber to both! We have the Kia here in Australia badged as Cerato. Sedan model looks nicer at the rear. Has an Audi S3 look (if you squint). We don't get a sunroof though like you guys do but we have fog lights. Wish Kia just did same for all.
Just bought a 2020 Hyundai Elantra GT (kicking myself for not getting the NLine). But i agree about the body style for the hatch. Thats why i went withe Hyundai.
I love the design and the car in general. A mix of hatch, wagon and a bit of coupe is a crossover I can get behind. Just google "Hyundai i30n fastback" to see how cool this is. I would get rid of the fake audio and opt for a manual though. Great filming in the snow you guys.
It's a good car by the looks of things.. Still not sold on ownership of Hyundai/Kia products especially long term. If a car like this proves to be Toyota reliable while still being sporty then it's definitely a good buy.
@thestraightpipes instead of the tuning knob you can actually type it in on the infotainment screen in the settings! Coming from a 2018 Elantra Sport owner. Great video as always!
What do you think of the Forte5 GT?
The sedan looks better
I like the european version more, where we also have a wagon :)
i preferred the sedan version. 👍👍👍
TheStraightPipes it looks like a budget Panamera sport turismo
It’s a cool daily driver. Like a more practical VW Golf GTI.
I love that the preview video in your playlist of "affordable four door cars" is the McLaren GT.

Check out the Kia Proceed, same design but it looks much much better
I still cannot tell it's a hatch, wagon or shootingbrake.
LOVE THE COLLAB WITH THE SKETCH MONKEY!

Was pretty surprised - thought I accidentally misclicked on the man's video while watching the review at first. :D

Incredible how Kia just gives you heated and cooled seats while other manufacturers sometimes don't include them in lower priced models
KIA and Hyundai are just killing it right now. They have learned their lessons (from their past failures) very well.
Wagon every time! :)
Hi
You did the box test twice. 😂😂❤
Some people say we script things. We obviously don't and in this case we literally couldn't remember if we had already done the box test lol

This was easily the most casually made video you guys ever made xD
When I see you upload it just brings smile to my face
7:59 The old Kia Forte actually earned Ward's Best Interior award.
I bought the Forte5 EX, and now it's my favorite car ever.
I love the look of this car it reminds me of the Lancer Sportback and that car was a beauty!!
You guys have really made me love wagons again and I don’t know how I feel about that
The answer is you feel good about that. Just let it happen.
Man, I love this video. The small little moments like the double box test, dropping the coffee cup into the cup holders, the hot diggity dog made this review much more entertaining compared to some of the more recent ones. Thanks guys!
I actually really like how it looks, including the side view
The wagon structure looks lovely!!! I would have bought this car if it was a wagon.
AGHHHHHH SKETCH MONKEY, this vid has made my day so far
I have a 2023 Kia forte GT with a six speed manual in that car is like a rocket. And it’s very fun to drive. I honestly love driving a manual.
Go KIA!! I’m glad their making fastbacks! So tired of every vehicle manufacturer ditching cars for bloody SUVs!!

It's not pro_ceed, not Ceed SW like here in Europe. What is that??
We have an actual station wagon and Panamerish Pro_Ceed
And we've also got an "suv" version called Xceed
@Mark Nicholls the cerato gt looks like kia took a proceed and drove it backwards in a wall
The ceed family is way better than any other version of it on the other continents

HOw u liking it so far? If it weren't for them and other youtube reviewers i wudnt have eVen considered it.
You like it?
I got one recently also and it's great! I opted for the 7 speed dual clutch since my wife drives it on occasion but it's still very sporty when you want it to be.

Hot diggity dog! I currently daily drive the similar, 2019 Forte S (tail end looks much better) and have enjoyed every commute in it. Great video!
I like the hatch wagon thing. Yes, the rear lights is BMWesuqe. The face on these two during launch control, priceless.
Yup, more of Yuri's awkward grinning and presenting an imaginary rectangle. This is definitely the new meme to end each video.
I was watching in PiP to read comments and there was no thumbnail shown in that mode, that was super wired.
You guys are my number one choice for new car impressions, keep it up gang
I'm literally in love with the back end though! I would go into extreme debt for this car 😭
I absolutely LOVE the profile of this car. Idk how practical the profile is, but I think it looks better as is, than as a wagon.
There's a station wagon in Europe it's called the Ceed SW
The new intro was very well done
Times to the music, fun to watch, great way to start the video

Wao body shape looks a like like the Mazda 3 hatchback and the shape of the old Elantra GT hatchback

Brilliant job by Kia and another very well-made review from The Straight Pipes.
You can get your name on the box TWICE! 😄
Incredible value. Kia and Hyundai is killing it the last couple years.
Lmao when u did the jeep grand Cherokee and the jaguar, I needed it for homework like actually LOL

Don’t understand why Kia doesn’t just bring the Proceed to the North American market. Looks 10x better than this thing.
The “hot diggety dog” slo mo cut with Jakob was worth watching the video! You guys excel at you editing skills. 😂
Yuri, is "hot-diggity-dog" a Ned Flanders thing?
I really hope this comes to the US. It looks outstanding and it's more practical than the sedan.
I actually really like how the seats look. Very retro.
If this had panoramic sunroof like the Elantra hatch it would be damn near perfect
They should’ve brought the kia Proceed over, looks STUNNING
Best collab video with sketchmonkey.
this format is best video format
Ive owned one in Australia for 6 months - cost $32k AUD which is about 15k cheaper then a GTI or the next best thing. Value wise it was no question. the suspension 'softens up' after about 2000km but still handles like its on rails. Surprised you didnt mention the heated and cooled seats.... dunno what id do without them....
Sketch Monkey, saves the day! I actually like it the way Sketch designed it--I'd buy that.
So you never heard of the kia ceed sw or kia Proceed? They're basically just more practical and better looking versions of the Forte
I love the guy p-shopping this into a full wagon! I've wanted to do that for dozens of cars, but never have bothered myself.
In South Korea here, we call this car "K3 GT" and normal sedan version(1.6NA with CVT) is called "K3".
