2014 Kia Forte Excels at Urban Commutes

I had the honor of test driving the 2014 Forte EX for a week, and it excelled in my expectations. As soon as the Kia Forte drove up on my driveway, I was struck by its sleek design. The overall shape is strongly reminiscent of a Honda Civic. The Forte’s rear seat provides is comfort for my kids and enough legroom for adults.
There’s an exceptionally roomy trunk, and the rear seat backs can flop forward to expand that capacity. I had fun customizing the driver’s features. One thing that I immediately noticed was the steering feature that allowed me to vary effort over three presets: Comfort, Normal and Sport. It’s standard on EX models but not available on the LX. After enjoying driving the Forte for a week, I enjoy the smooth and comfortable ride in the city. It is one of the quietest cars that I have driven lately. Other posh features that I enjoy were remote keyless entry and touch button starter, power mirrors with turn signal repeaters, a ventilated driver’s seat with power adjustability and the second generation of Kia’s UVO infotainment system, which was developed by Microsoft.
The technology on this car is amazing. As you try to maneuver in and out of the city, the car is consistent. The mirrors protect itself in tight places like a parking garage. The summer heat doesn’t affect the passengers inside with a robust air-conditioning and a driver a/c seat. Your only question is what SiriusXM station that you want to listen to on your commute.
2014 Kia Forte definitely makes an impression on the compact car market. If you are an urban commuter, you should definitely take a test drive in one of these.
