    Kia is doing wonders lately. I no longer hear people mocking that "it's a KIA" that much unlike 5 to 10 years ago.
    Remember Audi 10s of years ago and look at them now. KIA is pretty much the same.

    That Kia Forte is a Nice Vehicle to go in the city from point A to Point B. It doesn't have many sensors and security stuff that other luxury cars do have, which is Ok, for the price. Not impresive, but nice looking to move around in the city. Engine power seems to be enough to be driven in Ecuador (Southamerica) where altitude sometimes is a problem for some vehicles. I like it actually. Greetings from Ecuador!!!

I'm very, very disappointed with the service part of KIA servis, too slow to get the exchange parts.. has been in for 3 months still nothing results from kia, even though I called 3 times to ask and kia gave an unpleasant reason..due to sensor damage all alerts is show out at meter sreen.

    Normally guys, I am NOT a Kia fan. In fact, back in the 90s and early 2000s, I used to cringe at people driving the old Kias. I"m more of a BMW, Mazda, Toyota, & Honda kinda guy. I also, told my family and friends that "You'd NEVER catch me owning a KIA! EVER!! Eww!" However, years have passed and I noticed that the newer Kias were looking better and better, but didn't think much of it. My old Honda accord, reach over 250K, and was breaking down a lot. I was looking around for a good car, for a good price. My friend from college, who's a car dealer, asked me what I was looking for in a car. I told him 3 things really, "Nice Comfort, good fuel economy, and great reliability". He used to be a dealer at Honda but moved to Kia. At first I'm like, "Bruh. Really?" But he genuinely loved his new job and said its better. So I was like okay, I'll check out what you have then. Anyways, I went with him to his job, and saw this black 2020 Kia Forte EX. He told me to just test drive it, and feel it out first. When I looked at the exterior, the interior, and drove it, I actually surprisingly really REALLy liked it a lot! The interior looks WAAAY better than before, and I loved the wireless charging, apple CarPlay, android auto, heated and cooled seats. Plus the driving, felt really nice, and for the price, it was a steal, since it just got off of someone else's lease. When I brought the car back to the dealership, and met up with my friend, I stepped out of the car, and said, "I loved this Kia Forte!". I couldn't believe it myself that I said that. Never thought that sentence would ever come out of my mouth, but Kia, I have to tip my hat to them. They are really stepping up their game. Btw, about the Forte that I drove, I ended up buying it, and I'm very satisfied with my purchase :)! Plus the warranty, you can't beat it! I kinda should've waited to get THIS 2022 Forte. Looks sick! But I'll stick with my 2020 version for now. No complaints here! 😁

Should I wait for the 2022 or purchase the 2021 since the incentives right now are excellent? Other than the larger screen , digital dash, front and rear lighting and facelift it’s still the exact same frame and interior isn’t it?

    Great review, thank you. I test drove this car yesterday here in Mexico where it comes with the 2.0L MPi engine (147HP) and IVT. I was thinking about getting the GT with the 1.6 turbo but I was so impressed with this model that after the test drive I ordered the GT Line Hatchback. The car was much quicker than I expected, handles great with tight steering, equipment level and build quality is excellent. Kia has a plant here in Mexico but for some reason the hatchbacks are not made there so I have to wait a month or two to get one shipped from Korea. Can't wait to get behind the wheel again!

    My brother just picked up a new Elantra Limited a couple days ago. This is his 3rd Elantra and I have to say I was extremely impressed with this car. Very roomy and plenty quick for normal driving. The cabin looks way better than my more expensive car. Nice job on the new Forte, but the Elantra looks way better

    The new Kia logo looks like the the letters K and I in the Cyrillic alphabet. The Kia Forte presented in this video it’s not available in the US with its anemic 123 HP engine - thank God! However, I do like the refresh style for the 2022 model year but it’s not a brand new generation like the Elantra, and therefore it can’t really compare with the more advanced Elantra. I wish that the Kia Forte 5 GT would be available in the US - I like the hatchback for its added practicality plus it differentiate itself from the Elantra.

    New logo is a big step forward. Wonder why they did not go to the new platform to match the Elantra (which I just bought).
