I'm not much of a car person, so when I was shopping for a vehicle I went by my friends' reviews. A few friends bought from Kia so I checked them out. I initially drove the Rio but that was too small. The Forte feels like an Optima but a little smaller. Drives/handles very well, has great acceleration, good on fuel. Never had an issue with the car yet. I dislike that it wasn't built for people over 6 feet, though. I'm 6'0 and I need to duck my head sometimes to look around the mirror.

I absolutely love my Kia Forte! I have had it for about five years now and haven't had any issues with it whatsoever. Its dependable, attractive build, sporty and reliable. Gas mileage is something that that I would love to be higher though. Most of my commute is through town/city, and I burn through a tank fairly quickly. But other than that, it has been the best car purchase that I have made thus far in life. Get one for you!
