1. It’s doing a farewell tour
Kia has announced that the all-new K4 will replace the Forte GT, so if you want one, 2024 is your last chance.
2. It’s got the goods
With a turbo 1.6-liter, 4-cylinder, manual or DCT automatic transmission and sport-tuned suspension, the Forte GT is well equipped for driving fun.
3. It’s old-school cool (part one)
While most modern Kia and Hyundai models have dual digital displays, the Forte GT still serves up handsome analog gauges.
4. It’s old-school cool (part two)
The conservative lines and large alloy wheels still look good – a direction Honda decided to use on their all new Civic line.
5. It’s got a killer warranty
As part of the Kia/Hyundai family, that includes a 10-year/100,000-mile limited powertrain warranty – especially nice on a turbocharged engine.

Ben Lewis grew up in Chicago, and after spending his formative years driving sideways in the winter – often intentionally – moved to sunny Southern California. He now enjoys sunny weather year-round — whether it is autocross driving, aerobatics, and learning to surf.
