I have this exact same car and its literal perfection! It does everything you need a car to do and does it very well. I absolutely love this little car!

@CEALLIFORNIA 27 дней назад

It is a wonderful car, I had much more fun with it than I anticipated. I’m happy you’re enjoying your new ride so far, thank you for watching!

@OneLove.1996 Месяц назад

I love mine just got it in July!

@CEALLIFORNIA Месяц назад

It’s a wonderful car in this price range, I think I’d take one of these over a Corolla or Civic, not only for how much fun it is but also what an incredible value it is! Enjoy your new car, thank you for watching!

Excellent review and Kia should added blind spot monitoring to every Kia for safety and maybe sell more with this feature.

@CEALLIFORNIA Месяц назад

I do agree, but also at the same time I’m happy they make it an option so that if you don’t want it and everything else it comes with, you can keep the cost lower so it’s more affordable for purchase. Thank you for watching and I appreciate the kind words!!

The Kia Forte LXS msrp is about $20,490 plus freight is about $21,500 but they wanted $27,000 at the dealership, they have $5,500 in bogus fees and markups, it is not an affordable cheap car, it cost the same as a Honda Civic, so I went and bought a Honda Civic Sport 2024, The Forte is a good car, don't get me wrong but if it cost the same as a Civic, I won't buy it. It is like the difference between iPhone and Android, the brand. The Civic is much more car with a big resale value compared to the Forte.

@CEALLIFORNIA 2 месяца назад

I can’t say I don’t agree there. If this was the same price as a Civic, I would go with a Civic too. If you can get this car at MSRP then it definitely is a great value like you said. Enjoy your new Civic, I really like that new body style. Thank you for watching!

@DeadofWinter321 2 месяца назад

I test drove a 2024 Civic Sport and a 2024 Forte GT Line a couple of weekends ago and ended up with the Forte. The Forte has a much nicer interior, a more refined engine and the transmissions are more reliable than the Civic. Also not to mention the fact that you get cooled seats with the Forte, which is a must in the Summertime.

@GuojiLyu 2 месяца назад

@@DeadofWinter321Why do you says Forte have more reliable transmission? I'm looking for a used forte.

@DeadofWinter321 2 месяца назад

@@GuojiLyu - I've seen several Honda Civics in the current generation being filmed on TikTok, Facebook and Instagram where owners transmissions have failed entirely. But only found 1 of someone with a Forte that experienced transmission failure.

Shop around. I just closed a deal for a friend today on a 2024 Kia Forte LXS w/tech package. $20,400 OTD (all taxes, fees, etc) Took about 2hrs of negotiation to get the deal. MSRP was $22,340

@CEALLIFORNIA 3 месяца назад

I’m happy you’re liking it! I remember when I first showed up to take this for a drive, I didn’t think it was gonna be much fun, but by the end of the day I wanted one for myself. Thank you for watching, enjoy your new ride!

@therdhgamer9219 24 дня назад

I think they advertise it as having an IVT, instead of a CVT. Cause it doesent use traditional gears in a CVT?

@CEALLIFORNIA День назад

On the window sticker they do have it displayed a little different than just writing “CVT”, it’s just still not a regular transmission so it’s not my first choice. However, Kia did a really great job with it, so I don’t really mind it honestly. Thank you for watching!

@adamskaboy 2 месяца назад

Nice review…my kid bought the LXS…very nice car…I’m impressed with just how nice it is for a low 20’s cost…solid, nothing fancy but an extremely nice vehicle in many ways. Very affordable AND NICE inside and out.

@CEALLIFORNIA 2 месяца назад

Congratulations on the purchase, I’m sure he will love it! I had the same thoughts, for this car being in the low 20’s, most everything feels good on the inside and I like how the engine is n/a. I think this is a solid choice in the price range. Thank you for watching!

@sandhawk60 24 дня назад

Does it have adaptive cruise, was thinking it just had regular cruise control.

@CEALLIFORNIA День назад

If I’m not mistaken, it’s looking like you have to step up to the GT-Line trim in order to get adaptive cruise control. I hope this helps, thank you for watching!

Any vibrations at highway speed that Kia is known for?

@CEALLIFORNIA 9 часов назад

I only made it up to about 40mph or so during this review so I didn’t get to experience it. There have been reports of some Forte’s recently having vibration at highway speed, so it is best to test the specific car you’re buying to see if it suffers from the same fate. Thank you for watching!

Got mines & changed those yellow cringy bulbs for LEDS, looks WAY better. great car no complaints!

@CEALLIFORNIA 2 месяца назад

Cringey really is the best way to describe them too 😂 It dates the car, so if you change them out it gives it a much fresher appearance. Enjoy your ride man, love this car! Thank you for watching!

Great review brother! For the $$ that is a really nice car. Perfect to get you from point A to point B. I hear you about the simplicity of it. I find that I don't use most of the features that my ride is capable of. Summer seems to have found it's way here but it's all good except for when the electric bill comes lol! How are things in your world? I hope that you have been doing great and enjoying life always!

@CEALLIFORNIA 3 месяца назад

Thanks for watching James! You cannot beat this car for the price, the Chevy Trax in this price range would be another consideration for me, but I don’t think it would be quite as fun as this to drive. Same here! I mean I like all the cool buttons in my Silverado, but if you put me back in my pretty basic, 2014 F-150 XLT I wouldn’t really be disappointed. Yeah man you know that, I spent the day in the pool which was unexpected for June. It was incredible man. It was awesome! I’m doing good man, it has been a busy couple weeks, but I think once I get things sorted, hopefully July will be a lot smoother! I hope you’re doing good my brother, It is always good to hear from you!

I have a couple in mind. Either heavy duty RAM or Chevy Traverse RS!

@@matthewolson2679 When looking at the driver door handle, you’ll see a little “cap” just behind the actual handle you grab itself.

I mean I’m not saying it’s sports car levels of fun to drive, certainly not, but it is more fun to drive than some Toyotas/Hondas in the same class is more so what I was getting at.
