t's been two days since I got my 2014 Forte EX and...... I LOVE IT!!!! What a great little car. Well... it's not that little. I'm 6'2" tall and I feel very comfortable driving my Forte. I got the Aurora Black color with black leather seats. Love those leather seats. And if you are planning on getting this car.... you have to see it in that black color. with the chrome accents it really looks amazing. One friend of mine even told me that when he first saw it he thought it was a Lexus. Must be because of that Audi designer. It really looks way better up close. I did test drove the Mazda 3 (too expensive), the Focus (again.... too expensive if you load it up with features) and the Elantra (very different car than it's cousin the forte) and didn't liked any of those as much as I loved the Kia. The Forte really feels and looks like a way more expensive car..... for the price I paid for it. Took advantage of lots of bonuses since the dealer was liquidating the 2014 fleet to make way for the new 2015 models. So I saved a lot of money and still got a brand new car that I totally love.

I guess everyone has an opinion, but after 22,000 miles in my 2014 Kia Forte EX with the technology and premium option packages, I love the faux carbon fiber on the dash, especially after it has had the preium car wash and the interior is cleaned. I also love the little front windows and the cool clock. The font and color goes with the rest of the interior. Its a matter of personal taste. I highly recommend this car to anyone. If $25 grand sounds steep for a fully loaded car, I'd recommend the EX without the two packages I got. I really like these features but for everyday driving, the EX without these items would be a nice even more economical ride.

For over 25 grand I'd forgo all the nice options such as heated steering wheel, cooled seats ect. and just buy a mid level midsize car like the Mazda 6, Honda Accord, VW Passat, or Subaru Legacy. They are much better cars overall even without some of the features.

Nothing personal against Dave Erikson, seems like a nice guy and all but he also seems like sorta a shill for either dealership/s or manufacturers. He doesn't seem to want to say much negative about any vehicle. Alex lets it all out and has an actual opinion about things, that's why I like him.

Nice video. Really diggin' all of your reviews, the camera "likes" you as they say. Is there anyway you could expand your brands and do some BMWs, Mercedes and maybe even the new Silverado/Sierra & F150. $25-$50k trucks are worth a review no? Anyway, keep up the great work!

The 2014 Kia Forte does not have a 2.4L engine the LX comes with a 1.8L and the EX (shown in the review) comes with the 2.0L. The 2.4L was available in the 2013 model not in the new 2014 model.

I have had my 14 Forte for 8 months now and it is great. I am leasing so i am not worried about long run. I am hoping with the next sedan model they offer a turbo engine and put independent rear suspension and lower the rear window deck.

Alex -- you were referring to the wood finish that I saw on a reviewed BMW 3-Series Modern edition. I agree with you there, that wood looked hideous. However, there are some variants of the 3-Series that had attractive looking real wood grain. If I had to luxury to afford a 3-Series, it would be a sport package. But when choosing a vehicle, I'll always tell people, styling is subjective.

lol bring back Timmy. He was so bad, yet so good. I would never buy a KIA but at least they include things that force the other major brands to step their game up (like the heated steering wheel, hopefully that becomes more standard among Honda, Toyota, and Subaru).

why not test the fuel efficient base engine to compare fuel economy with the other makes you listed with better fuel economy? The engine you tested is the uplevel engine.

The only question I have regarding Hyundai / Kia is will they last. Are they durable. We know Toyota, Honda, and Subaru will go for some time without trouble. Especially Toyota...but all that aside. Is a 2014 Kia a long lasting automobile!

To me, not a whole lot. Never cared for VW. However, they are in a pretty good position. I don't dislike them. Don't read into that....I like a couple of their vehicles. I would buy a Kia over a Ford, Chrysler or Chevy.

Well I wouldn’t have any leg room either if I had the seat all the way back! You can’t make a review on a car when your legs are so long. It’s just negative. Compact cars personally are not for people 6”0 or taller

All depends on how it's done. Some BMW's actually have real wood that looks fake and it's terrible. But anything carbon fiber on a Kia is just ridiculous. Alex

If you were a teen in the 80's you'll know what i mean. Kia reminds me of SoundDesign. They made stereos. They had tons of bells and whistles on their products, but they were absolute shit. I mean real bad...HOWEVER. I don't dislike Kia. It's something I can't seem to help comparing the brand to. I would buy a Toyota, Honda, or maybe a Subaru before I bought a Kia. But I would buy a Kia over a Ford, Dodge, or Chevy any day of the week. I could not have been burned anymore in my life by those toilets.
