Miles Overview
The 2012 Forte is Kia's compact car, offered as a sedan or a five-door hatchback, and it goes up against the Civic and Corolla with more standard equipment for the money. It's a light, eager little car that feels nimble around town, and the steering is direct enough to make daily driving genuinely pleasant. The cabin is roomier than the exterior suggests, with comfortable seats and a trunk that swallows a surprising amount of gear. Owners report solid mechanical reliability, though the seats stain easily and the paint is thin, so you'll want to be careful with spills and gravel roads. The EX is the volume trim for the Forte hatchback, offering a solid mix of standard features without the sportier suspension and extra power of the SX. Its 2.0L I4 makes 156 horsepower and works with a six-speed automatic, which keeps the car responsive around town and returns 29 mpg combined.
