A lot of people view compact cars as basic transportation, but does stepping up in the model line take things from appliance levels of appreciation to true enjoyment? In this video, Peter walks you through the EX+ and EX Premium models to help you decide if they could be right for you!

Driving forte the past 10 years, super reliable cars. One forte 2012 in Lebanon has 320000 km and still running. Kia is high quality for low price.

I love your videos. I bought my first car last year, a 2020 Kia Forte EX. I live in Manitoba but if I move to Ontario (and I'm planning to), I'll go to your dealership for my next car

How good is the harman kardan sound system?

I wonder about the cvt. I have a 2021 gt line and don't have problems because I mindful of the fact it's not a traditional automatic transmission but cvts don't have the best reputation.

The UVO ap on the EX premium, allows you to remote start. Very nice in a Canadian winter.

@BrantfordKia 2 жыл бұрын

Yes, that's probably the key feature to the UVO app which is now called Kia Connect.

@@BrantfordKia I see the 2022 Forte EX premium also has a remote start button on the key fob but that seems a bit redundant if you can do it from your phone anyway. I’m trying to decide between a 2021 and a 2022 EX premium but the $2600 price difference seems like a big incentive to stick with the 2021 with 7 yr 0% financing. The changes all seem cosmetic apart from a minor tweak to the rear cross alert/assist?

@@ORBEX It's not a substantial update, but it is an update. As far as the key fob vs. the app, the key fob is MUCH more convenient as it reacts instantly. The app has a lot of features, but there is a large delay from entering your request on your phone to having it react on the vehicle.

That's awesome! Had no idea you could do that. I live in California and can use it on hot summer days to get the car cooled down a bit.

Yes, I'm pretty sure that all of our cars have heated mirrors. You can turn them on by turning on the rear window defroster.

@@GardoVersace I believe the 2021 Kia Forte was our last model not to receive the wireless Android Auto and wireless Apple CarPlay update. So that's correct, these are still wired. Our 10.25 inch screens are also still wired at this point.

@@GardoVersace The 2022 Kia Forte has been introduced to us on paper, but we haven't seen one yet. My initial specs don't list "wireless" in their listing, but I would be SHOCKED if it doesn't have that... every other 2022 model that we sell (other than the Sportage which is due for a redesign by January) has wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. The Forte will also be receiving a refresh with new bumpers and lights, and new tech inside. It's my belief that they'll call it the K3, so keep an eye out for that.
