That faux carbon that you said is actually an ambient light that change colors when you change modes between normal , sport or smart or you can choose the color you want from the 10.25 flat screen

The comment about the lack of road noise is very interesting. I have this same car (except it’s a’23) and the loud road noise is the thing I like least about it. The wind noise is surprisingly quiet though.

I own a 2023 Kia Forte GT2 with the DCT transmission and I love this car ! 🎉🎉 If you think this car is nice stock you have to see it how fast and responsive it gets after installing aftermarket parts it will blow your mind !!!!! 🤯 I changed the whole exhaust system starting from the Down pipe, mid pipe and axel-back exhaust , added a oil catch can a BOV with the selenoide, an CAI with the snorkel , engine struts bar a mid point chasis bar a rear sway bar , lowering springs and a JB4 with a tune from N75 . It really changes the way this car feels and there's more upgrades that you could install to this car is unbelievable !!!

Thanks much for doing this awesome review. I never thought I could see myself driving around in a 4 door but for this car I would make an exception! Im driving a low mileage Civic coupe right now but im thinking I need to at least take this rocket for a test drive. Years ago I had an AWD Eagle Talon TSi turbo and that turned out to be my favorite car ever. When you got into it the acceleration reminded me a lot of the Eagle.So anyway I'm over here in Largo but I might have to get myself across the Howard Frankland and pay this dealer a visit ! 🙂

I’ve had two GT2’s, both black. The 2022 was the manual and came with Michelin Pilot Sport tires standard. I loved that car, so when my needs changed I bought another one - a 2023 with the DCT I use as a daily driver. Each of them came in under $28K - a great value for everything you get.

@palebeachbum 5 ай бұрын

This Forte is based on the 2017 Elantra Sport. It's a nice car. Hyundai/Kia did a good job. I feel like it's a little expensive though considering the Mazda3 Preferred has nearly the same power standard and it too has a premium small car vibe, but for less money.

@TorleifYT Ай бұрын

Issue is with the mazda3 is that its incredibly bare bones in terms of features compared to this. Youre really paying for what you get here. Show me another car that has this many features (((especially the ventilated seats and rear air vents)))) for less than 36k

@M4B21S88 7 ай бұрын

Yes, elantra n-line is kinda the same BUT not quite lol the Elantra has the smartstream 1.6t whereas the Forte keeps the OG. Im not too sure of the differences other than the one in the Forte is the reliable one bc its been around longer and worked on and improved on longer than the smartstream. I remember reading somewhere that the 1.6t smartstream still does not have a proper tuning platform.

If it were really $27K, this would be a sweet deal! Has anyone found a KIA dealer that doesn't try to rape your wallet BS add-ons? This particular dealers site shows "market adjustment not included in price." The other things you have to look out for are the garbage tacked on $3000 Advantage plans and $1K+ paint protections plans.

@M4B21S88 7 ай бұрын

You can, and should, say no to add ons. If the dealer is unwilling to, walk away. You absolutely do not need add-ons, maybe just GAP. Never buy ANY car for over its MSRP. I bought my 2021 GT at the end of 2020 for $24,500 price of car, MSRP was $26,350. Different times but I still hear of some ppl getting good deals. So, shop around

@WTFCRLT1 7 ай бұрын
