The 2018 Kia Forte is Ideal for Lake Geneva Drivers
Being a four-season resort town, Lake Geneva residents see their fair share of new (and old) vehicles zip in and zoom out of their city. So naturally, Lake Geneva residents are going to be a bit more discerning when it comes to choosing their own vehicle. This is a stylish community but also one that loves its outdoors.
After all, no matter where you live in Lake Geneva, you're just a 10-minute drive to outdoor activities like zip-lining, golfing, snow-shoeing, and boating. For these reasons, residents here often go for either a large, cargo-friendly vehicle or an attractive, well-equipped compact sedan. If you fall into that latter category, then we invite you to take a gander at the refreshed 2018 Kia Forte available near Lake Geneva.
The 2018 Kia Forte is a refined sedan that's packed with features, stylish on the outside and luxurious on the inside. So if you are seeking an attractive vehicle to drive around Lake Geneva in, then consider the following reasons the 2018 Kia Forte would make you a happy driver:
3 Reasons the 2018 Kia Forte is Ideal for Lake Geneva Drivers
1. Best in Safety. Let's face it, Lake Geneva tourists aren't always careful or knowledgeable about community roads and traffic patterns. And no matter the time of the year, tourists are an inevitability. That's why it's important to look for safety features and ratings when buying a vehicle for Lake Geneva.
The 2018 Kia Forte is a superior choice when it comes to this department having been specially designed to absorb and redirect collision impacts so as to minimize and avoid driver and passenger injuries. This design along with the vehicle's plethora of safety equipment and features led it to receive a five-star rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the highest possible scores from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
2. Upscale & Comfortable Interior. The 2018 Kia Forte boasts an attractive and upscale interior designed for passenger comfort. This means large and supportive seats both in the front and the rear boasting plenty of leg, hip, and headroom. Designers included nice sound insulation materials so that occupants won't notice a great deal of road noise and a well-equipped suspension system means that you won't feel the big bumps and road jarring that you might come across.
3. Outfitted with the Best inTechnology. An advanced infotainment system is a must for today's car buyers, and yet many auto manufacturers fail to include a comprehensive, easy-to-use system. Kia is certainly an outlier here as this brand has created arguably the best such system currently available, the UVO e-services system.
This infotainment system boasts menus that are easy to navigate with large, crisp graphics. Also included is a sophisticated voice command feature that allows a family to create multiple speaker profiles to maximize voice recognition accuracy so that when you use the feature, response time is quick and correct to your query (no repeating a half dozen times as required with some voice systems). Plus, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support are included for seamless integration of your smartphone with the vehicle system.
