Whenever I go to Los Angeles DriveShop is kind enough to let me drive a new car each time. This week it was Kia and because I trust DriveShop and the cars they give me I partnered with them again to drive around town in exchange for this post. All thoughts are mine.
Have you seen the 2017 Kia Forte? The way it hugged the curves on any street I was on I felt like a race car driver. It also has amazing pickup and I was able to zig and zag in that crazy LA traffic like a boss.
I have nothing but great things to say about this car. It drove well, handled well, didn’t take much gas, I felt safe and the sound system was AMAZING. When I drive I always listen to my music super loud and when I tell you I made excellent use of the SiriusXM Radio I mean it. I may or may not have been dancing in my seat.
I had to pick up 4 friends from the airport and they all got into the car with their backpacks and everyone was comfortable, no one complained about legroom, the air worked extremely well in the backseat and no one had anything bad to say throughout any portion of their time in the backseat.
The keyless entry made it so easy to hop in and out of my car in and out of the Kia for the week. I’m so accustomed to taking out my key and trying to find them but not having to search for a key inside of my big ole’ purse was refreshing.
The pics below were taken in the Arts District, my favorite neighborhood in Los Angeles. I love the fact the Forte is such a sexy looking car yet it is so practical. Hey sexy and practical…does that remind you of anyone?
Kia is really looking nice these days. I’ve never driven one but all of these reviews have me thinking twice. Love the graffiti backgrounds btw.
I’ve never driven one, but was behind one the other day. They have changed over the years and look really nice.
I think I’ve rented a Kia once or twice. They have come a long way!
Never driven a KIA before! I’ve heard of drive shop but not familiar with the concept! Born and raised in LA and never made it to the art district, must go now
Kia has come a long way and they haven’t been on my radar but this one is super cute!! I may have to go do a test drive and check them out!!!
Gorgeous pictures! I love the new body designs on all the new Kia’s. The Forte looks like a fun sporty car. I’m gonna have to check it out.
I don’t drive at all so I’ve never driven a Kia but it sounds nice. Maybe one day! It’s so cute
Kia, surprisingly has some good cars. I like the sorento.
Girl my first 2 cars was a Kia! I couldnt stand it because I felt like I got the bottom of the barrel of cars. I am also with DriveShop and over the years they let me drive a few Kias and they have changed their cars tremendously by keeping up with trends! I love the Serena gif lol and I cant wait until I test drive another Kia.
I was talking to a friend over the weekend and they mentioned that they were thinking about getting a Kia!! I will definitely recommend your post so they can get the tea! PS. Is it me or is Serena ALWAYS twerkin’?? LMBO!! I think I have seen her twerk more times this year than a lil bit. That’s my girl!!
