Kia Forte Review | A Moms View

February 8, 2014 Mary Edwards Leave a Comment

Kia Forte

In November, I was given the opportunity to review the Kia Forte. I just LOVE the Kia Brand and well, honestly, any new clean car is a plus in my book ๐Ÿ™‚ While Iโ€™m not used to a regular 5 passenger car, because we are a family of 6, I was surprised with the space inside this vehicle.

I will start with the MOM stuff that I loved about this car.

  • SAFETY โ€“ Dual front airbags โ€“ Side airbags โ€“ 4 wheel ABS โ€“ anchor & tethers for car seats (we are no longer in this stage, but I like that they have it! We do babysit often. Safety Lock Doors. Rear back up camera *A MUST FOR ME*
  • Roomy โ€“ now itโ€™s not huge, but it is enough for a family of four in my opinion. You could set up two car seats in the back with no issues. Three would be pushing it.
  • Trunk Space โ€“ as a baseball mom x 2 and a softball mom we have a lot of STUFF to take to tournaments. Coolers, bat bags, snack bags, etc. The trunk space was perfect for us.
  • Sunroof. Why is this in the mom section? Because when the kids got restless, Iโ€™d pop open the sunroof and they settled down and enjoyed watching the clouds above! Love that โ€“ mom needs her serenity.

Now, onto the non-mom stuff I loved. (the stuff that doesnโ€™t involve the kiddos)

  • adjustable seats โ€“ with MEMORY โ€“ LOVE this! If hubby gets in, he has his own settings, when I get in, I have mine. MUST HAVE!
  • Back up cam โ€“ yes I said this earlier, but even without kiddos, I need this back up camera. I stink at parking AND backing up! In fact, I wonโ€™t drive downtown just to avoid parallel parking. But with this car, I did go downtown and did great with the camera!
    Kia
  • Remote Keyless Entry with Trunk Opener
  • Push Button Start w/Smart Key & Immobilizer Love love love!
  • Sunroof. Yes, when Iโ€™m alone I love to open it too!

Kia

  • AM/FM/CD/MP3/SiriusXM Audio System with 4 Speakers โ€“ this is a must have as well for me!
  • The speakers were awesome too!

 

Overall, this would be a perfect vehicle for a single person, married couple, or SMALL family. I could see myself purchasing a Kia Forte after the kids are older and off to college and Iโ€™m not carting them around from game to game to school etc :-)

*Disclosure: I was given a full week test drive of the Kia Forte to review on the site. My opinions are 100% mine and in no way influenced.
