In this video, the Roman discusses the Kia Forte GT, a car that he has mixed feelings about. He begins by reminiscing about the used car market in the '90s and how things have changed today. The Roman then mentions the importance of teenagers knowing what they're doing before getting their first car. He suggests looking at Kia's and mentions how they have improved over the years. The Roman describes his experience driving the Kia Forte GT and mentions its good acceleration and handling. However, he also criticizes its uninspired design and lack of distinction compared to other cars in its segment. The Roman compares the Forte GT to the Honda Civic SI, discussing the price difference between the two and whether it is justified. He also talks about the reliability concerns associated with Kia vehicles, including engine and transmission issues. The Roman praises the fuel economy of the Forte GT and the upgrades that come with the GT2 package. He also mentions the car's negative aspects, such as the lane keep assist system and the rattling at lower speeds. The Roman concludes by pondering the role of Kia as a brand and its reputation, acknowledging that Kia has made improvements but questioning the long-term reliability of their vehicles. He emphasizes the importance of empathy and understanding when it comes to car choices and expresses his attempts to understand why people choose the cars they do. The Roman ultimately finds the Forte GT to be a decent car, but not one that he would go out of his way to drive. He also mentions the ongoing "Race to the Bottom" series and invites viewers to submit their cars for review. The video ends with a thank you to Aiden for submitting his car and a farewell to the viewers.
