Miles Overview
The Forte is Kia's compact sedan, the one you cross-shop with the Civic and Corolla if you want more standard features for the money. It's a light, easy car to drive around town, and the steering is accurate enough that you won't mind the daily commute. The cabin is roomier than you'd expect for a compact, with generous rear legroom and a large trunk that swallows luggage easily. Owners like the comfortable seats, the big trunk, and the easy Bluetooth phone pairing, though some wish the touchscreen were larger. The LX is the base trim, so you give up the EX's larger engine and upgraded audio for a lower starting price and the same roomy cabin. Its 2.0L I4 makes 147 horsepower and 132 lb-ft of torque, and the six-speed manual is a willing partner for around-town driving, returning 28 mpg combined. The LX rides on 15-inch steel wheels with wheel covers, which is the trade-off for the low base price, but the standard cruise control and Bluetooth help it feel less basic.
