Miles Overview
The Forte is Kia's compact car, offered as both a sedan and a hatchback for 2017. It handles predictably and rides comfortably, making it an easy car to live with day to day. The cabin is roomy for the class, with a particularly spacious back seat and a large trunk. Owners report strong mechanical reliability, though some note the seats stain easily. The EX is the middle trim in the Forte lineup, sitting between the base LX and the sporty SX, and it adds a more powerful engine and extra comfort features. Its 2.0L I4 makes 164 horsepower and pairs with a six-speed automatic, delivering smooth around-town response and 28 mpg combined. Unlike the SX, the EX focuses on daily refinement and returned a larger trunk than many rivals, offering 14.9 cubic feet of cargo space.
