    • Dependable, comfortable, good mpg

      By rogern1967 on Tuesday, March 13, 2012

      5.0
      I purchased the "ad" car that was featured in my local Kia dealer's newspaper ad--it is the base model Forte with manual transmission, manual window, manual locks. It is a basic package, and exactly what I was looking for! Now with 20,000 miles, I can review with experience. Fuel consumption: worst: 31mpg, best 38 mpg--averaging 33-34. Interior: lots of plastic, most of it has a soft surface and scratches easily. Left door panel nicked from when I release my seat belt and clasp is drawn over to the left--it slams into the door panel. Seat upholstery stains easily, Carpet, if you can call it that, is very thin.In short, it is an inexpensive car with an inexpensive interior. Infotainment: I like the Bluetooth enabled audio system. I regularly stream content from my BlackBerry, and the connection is dependably seamless. The microphone however is quite tinny--when I speak on the telephone, the person on the other end frequently has difficulty understanding me. Mechanical: No dependability issues. I have observed however that when the engine is cold, there is a noticeable "ticking" noise in the upper engine/valvetrain. I have found other Kia/Hyundai owners of cars with the same engine on message boards who observe the same type of sound. Several took their cars to dealers who called it "normal". I choose not to waste my time in this manner, so I will rely on my 100,000 mile warranty on this issue if there is a problem. Misc: The TPMS (tire pressure monitoring system) warning light has falsely reported under inflated tires twice. The light self-corrected within a few days both times. Serviceability: I do all my own maintenance. The engine bay is spacious and items like the oil and air filters, spark plugs, and drive belts all appear to be easily serviceable. Engine uses no oil between service intervals. Tires are wearing evenly (rotated at 12,000 miles) Summary: I was looking for an inexpensive, dependable commuter car with good MPG. I found the Kia to be the best value in the segment, and I do not regret my decision.
    • Kia Forte SX 2010 best small car overall

      By Jerichoken on Thursday, October 08, 2020

      5.0
      This car has the larger 2.4l engine and performed well. Only warranty issue was a water pump at 95,000 miles and it was completely covered. The body and undercarriage has held up well in the heavily salted and brine treated roads of northern New England. Front seats are okay for short trips, not so comfortable for multiple hour rides.
    • 2011 Kia Forte SX 5 Door Hatchback Fun!

      By LiverpoolGeorge on Saturday, September 10, 2011

      5.0
      This car is a heck of a lot of fun to drive. Mine has the optional sun roof and six speed automatic transmission, both of which I highly recommend. The SX 5 door has a 2.4 liter engine that has plenty of zip. Gas mileage suffers some (about 25 MPG around town, 30 HWY), but because I derive so much enjoyment driving it, the lesser gas mileage compared to the 2.0 version really doesn't bother me. (I owned a 2010 Forte 2.0 sedan and the thing would hardly get out of its own way. Also, the steering on that vehicle was ghastly on the highway.) The six speed transmission shifts smooth as silk in full auto. Convert to manual with stick or paddle shifters and it's a bit rough for sure. I very much hate the fact that Kia did not put a 3rd-5th gear lock out used for limiting the transmission to those ranges. I would have preferred that arrangement to the manual stick or paddle shifters they have on the auto transmission. It would have been very nice to keep the car up to only forth gear traveling, say, up to 40 MPH. Instead you must constantly shift manually to limit it. This is the only VERY negative design deficiency I have found in the Forte 5 door in what otherwise is a very well designed vehicle. The steering on the 2011 SX is smooth and responsive. It makes the car nimble and easy to complete quick agile maneuvers. Brakes are fantastic allowing you to stop on a dime. As far as styling, I really like the appearance of the 5 door infinitely better than the old lady looking sedan. And as far as the 17" alloy wheels, I feel they are as sleek looking as anything on the road. I'm in my fifties now, but I really feel that the entire styling of this vehicle will appeal to the young as well as the young at heart! Combine all this fun with a great new car warranty and a very reasonable price tag, and you have a winner here. But don't take my word for it, go see one and drive it for yourself!

    Advantages of Buying Used

    Many Union City drivers opt for used cars for cost savings, but choosing a used vehicle offers other benefits, too. Let's explore the benefits of used vehicles.

    Lower Costs

    Used cars cost less than new models, which can result in a lower monthly payment that fits into your budget near Warren. Likewise, your used car will depreciate less than a new model when you drive it off the lot, helping your car retain its value as you drive it. You can expect lower insurance costs on a used car compared to a new model, which may offer more savings. Additionally, maintenance fees are lower, especially if you choose a used car that's been on the market for a while. Parts will be readily available if you require a repair.

    Upgraded Features

    When you choose a used car, you might be able to afford a nicer trim with upgraded features. For example, your new-to-you vehicle could have upgraded exterior features, such as a power liftgate or sunroof. Additionally, you might enjoy interior features such as leather upholstery or a large infotainment center. Put, you broaden your options when you shop, allowing you to access trim models your budget might not otherwise allow.

    Factors to Consider When Shopping for a Used Vehicle

    It's clear that used cars are worth considering, so now you want to know how to shop for one. First, choose a dealer such as Genesis of North Plainfield, which has an extensive used car selection. Narrow your focus by deciding which type of vehicle is right for you. You might be looking for a sporty car, a spacious sedan, an SUV to transport a crowd, or a practical pickup truck. On most used lots, you can find all options so that you can compare their size, seating, and features to determine which style is right for you.

    Once you decide the type of vehicle you want, you can explore different manufacturers, check out the interior and exterior features, and consider the color and design that suits your preferences. Researching different vehicles and checking them out in person will help guide you to the right used car for your needs.
