Hi It is my intention to buy a Forte5 Sx turbo in 2015. I generally like to see a new car have at least 1 year on the road before buying. Besides my 2010 Mazda3 Gt still has only 25000 kilometers on the ODO so I am in no rush.
However I would like to hear from owners what their experience has been with their Forte5, what bugs you, what you would change. Would you recommend it, I have heard that the gas milage is not great I am not too concerned about that. I am more interested in reliability issues, mechanical problems if any.
I have found researching on a particular car forum as the best way to get an honest assessment of a car I am interested in buying, and start my research well ahead of buying. As of now I am 99.99% sure this is the car I will buy unless something comes along in 2015 that attracts me more.
What bugs me is the scarcity of the SX premium models they as rare as chickens teeth and sell as soon as they hit the dealers lot. I don't know if this is a ploy on the part of KIA in order to reduce bargaining leverage. Anyway they need to start making the model more plentiful if they want it to be a success. I have yet to see one in the flesh.
At the rate they are appearing on dealers lots you would almost need to order one now to be sure of having it for this time next year. LOL. This is in Ottawa Canada.
