I have always had old clunkers and as I reached retirement age I wanted to buy myself a nice car that I would have for the rest of my life, but I don't have a lot of money to spare. I went to Kia because they have a good reputation and I fell in love with the car. It's small but roomy inside with fabric interior (leather gets too hot in the summer, as does vinyl), two doors, 4-wheel drive, and equipped for satellite radio. It rides extremely smoothly and is durable for a car its size. I would recommend it to anyone.

I bought the 2010 Kia Forte about a year ago and have had zero issues thus far. I get about 33-36mpg on the interstate, maintenance is easy and convenient, and it runs extremely well. It was maintained by the previous owner, and I expect it to last for several years!
