What customers are saying

The Kia Forte5 is appreciated for its sporty handling, stylish design, and cargo space. Owners highlight its turbo power and value for the price but note dissatisfaction with fuel economy and cabin noise. Reliability varies depending on maintenance history, especially for earlier models with known engine issues. Features like advanced tech in newer models enhance appeal.

2016 Forte5 SX 6spd

I am a huge fan of the “hot hatch”. I have owned a GTI, a Focus ST, and now the Forte5 SX. So far, I am very impressed with this little car and the 1.6 turbo. It’s more fuel efficient than its rated , supposed to be 21 city 29 highway. Generally with mixed driving I average over 30. And on long distance trips I have averaged over 35 mpg! It’s more comfortable than I expected, given any hot hatch will have tight suspension. It is very quick especially with the 6spd. And in my humble opinion looks great. Probably the coolest part of this car is that you never see them. They are hard to find, especially with a manual transmission, and everybody asks me what it is. Bottom line... I love this car.

PROS
Power

1.6 turbo delivers excellent torque with little turbo lag.

Value

Can’t beat what you get for the price. Kudos to Kia, excellent value

Cargo Space

I love a hatch for the space, put the back seats down in this car and you have tons of space. I drove long distance with my wife and 2 children in this car, and fit all of our bags no problem . Not to mention averaged 35 mpg.

CONS
Technology and Entertainment

The speakers and deck are pretty bad, I like quality sound. This is one of my few complaints.

Cabin Noise

Honestly it’s not that bad , but not as quiet as a GTI, about the same as the focus ST.
