The fact that people are being priced out from mid-sized vehicles due to inflation, I'm glad to see KIA is giving the K4 mid-sized car features and it more roomier to make customers feel like they didnt step down below a class of vehicle. The Koreans are always 2-5 steps ahead of the competition with innovation. Im definitely upgrading next year for the 2025 K4 GT-Line turbo! The features and technology I want will not be available on a Corolla or Civic unless I pay $40k for a fully loaded Accord or Camry.
Really needs a hybrid option, but I guess Hyundai Kia don’t want to cannibalize the Elantra Hybrid. Also, I really wish it had amber turn signals in the back.
if Kia is gonna provide a hybrid option for the K4, the performance specs has to be higher than of the Elantra hybrid. Just simply because the k4 is just heavier than the Elantra
Responding to the message of the miniature... I would never have an automatic, my father never had an automatic, and my grandfather never had an automatic either.... And not because of a question of money, but because luckily we don't have motor problems and we like to drive. I even have tattooed on one arm the knob of the manual shifter and on the other one the 3 pedals...
It seems like a very nice car and is priced competitively. My gripe is that economy cars don't seem so economical to own long-term with all of the expensive tech they're cramming into these cars as standard equipment. I don't want or need a digital cluster. I don't want or need a redundant screen for climate control. Watch and see what happens when these screens start failing out of warranty. I hope you have $5,000 set aside to replace these screens.
Nick, The upcoming K4 hatch/wagon looks more practical than yet another coupe-fastback-sedan which fails to match rear seat headroom with generous legroom.
@@naveenthemachine Kia’s are garbage, older or new. Look at some other publications long term reviews and they all report numerous issues on a wide variety of Kia models!
@jackbn9353 I was wondering the same thing...just because it's "tech heavy" and pretty doesn't mean it's low maintenance & reliable...not to mention reasonable in price.
They did a great job The k4 Elantra civic mazda3 are the only truly competitive compact sedans The ones not mentioned… the less said about them the better
Strong looks? Strong like skunk stench. Seen photos and videos. Last week I saw one on the road. This car is absolutely as hideous in person as in photos. Drove and admired the forte models of the past. This one is just trying too hard to be different and “look at me”. No thanks!

The crossover with Sofyan was a welcome surprise!
It’s now Grandpas Forte.
Hope this will make the 2023 Kia Forte Gt manual drop in price even more

@palebeachbum I just rolled my eyes reading all of this..lol. Sounds like you want to go back to 1994. We can definitely teleport you there.
The microphone sounds like it was clipping hard for pretty much the entire video, which is unfortunate.
ABG has the least on screen presence of any channel on RUclips

I know you're super tall so you must love these huge big cars, rightlanehog! The new 2025 Dodge Charger is perfect for you!
I think the new v8 Chevy Tahoe long wheel base will give more leg room and has a hatch in the rear as well..
It sounds like you need a bus!
Maybe it looks better in person.
God damn that rear end is horrendous. Kia either makes the ugliest cars ever or some of the best looking cars, there's no in-between.
How far will it go before the engine self-destructs, like so many Kias?
Your year one grandpa comment hasn’t gotten you far 😂

I don't see the vertical styler he stated.
I Love the exterior styling except for the rear door handles. Given their location, they seem impractical.
The new Prius has it, and it seems more acceptable than the K4, which I just don't understand. I think it's unique. It gives off a clean, svelte look.
I would buy a 2025 Nissan Kick SR over this Forte.
Too funny looking for me
Ugly exterior 😢
Not your fathers Cadillac, not your fathers Lincoln maybe even not your fathers Buick but forte? 😂just doesn’t work.

Stop hiding the door handles! No one likes it, trust me I asked! If anyone comments saying they like it or don’t mind, they’re lying! 😂
Smaller trunk, tight quarters for the driver.. so the only upside is design. Everything else isn’t awesome.
Ugly. Saw a few on the road. These will not age gracefully.
