Overall, the 2015 Kia Forte is a good car for a beginning driver. Gas mileage is great. You can get about 400 miles per gallon if driven on the highway. It is roomy and holds a car seat quite well. Power in the car is very lacking. Whenever going up a hill or small incline the car has to almost come to a stop to change gears and go. The trunk of the car is quite large and can carry a great amount. The car does not feel like it is put together very well. All materials feel cheap. It is easy to program more than one smart phone to the car. It does take a while for the car to register that the Bluetooth has been turned on once you get in, but works well otherwise. Windshield wipers are of unusual sizes and hard to find at large retailers. The windshield fluid container holds more than a gallon of fluid.

The kia forte is an excellent vehicle for people who need something reliable that also gets great gas mileage. It's very basic, but it works. On the highway I have averaged 40 mpg. There is a lot of room in the back and the trunk is very spacious. The sound system is very modern with bluetooth and usb capabilities. The warranty is amazing and I have received free oil changes for the first few years of ownership.
