Hey, just wanted to share some things about the 2011 Kia Forte 2-door. First, some people say the transmission is a bit sketchy. I mean, mine had some jerky moments, especially when shifting from park to drive. Noticed it myself a few times. It’s frustrating, right? But year bonus: the car’s generally reliable in other areas.
Another common issue is the Bluetooth connectivity. My sis had the same problem where it wouldn’t pair with her phone properly. Had to reset it like, a gazillion times. Do other people have this problem? Also had a weird thing with the door locks freezing up in cold weather. And who wants that?
And the air conditioning can be temperamental too. Mine stopped working one summer day, had to get it fixed. My mechanic buddy said there’s a common recall for that. Have folks fixed it themselves?
Overall, it’s a solid car but watch out for these pesky glitches, and u’ll be good. peace

Other folks in the car group mentioned trouble with leaky door seals too. Anyone else?
