Miles Overview
The Forte5 is Kia's compact hatchback, the five-door version of the Forte sedan that competes with the Mazda3 and VW Golf. It drives with a light, eager feel around town, and the steering is accurate enough to make back roads fun without being harsh. Inside, you get a straightforward dashboard with easy-to-use controls, and the hatch body gives you a roomy cargo area that swallows gear easily. Kia's reputation for dependable mechanicals carries over here, and the long warranty backs it up. The SX is the sporty pick of the Forte5 lineup, trading the EX's fuel economy for a stronger engine and sharper handling. Its 1.6L I4 makes 201 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque, routed through a six-speed automatic to the front wheels, and it returns 24 mpg combined. The SX also gets a sport-tuned suspension and larger brakes, so it stops and corners with more confidence than the standard Forte5.
