2023 Kia Forte GT 6-Speed Manual | One of the Last True Driver's Cars | Available at Route 66 Auto Sales in Sullivan, MO

Rare. Fun. Engaging. Manual Transmission.

In a world where nearly every new car is automatic, this 2023 Kia Forte GT Manual stands out as a true enthusiast's car. Finished in stunning Sporty Blue Metallic and powered by a 201-horsepower turbocharged engine paired to a 6-speed manual transmission, this Forte GT delivers the kind of driving engagement that's becoming harder and harder to find.

If you've been searching for a manual transmission car for sale, a 6-speed manual sport sedan, or a vehicle that lets you stay connected to the road instead of simply pointing and driving, this Forte GT deserves your attention.

The combination of a responsive 1.6L Turbocharged GDI engine, precise 6-speed manual gearbox, sport-tuned suspension, and Michelin Pilot Sport tires transforms every commute, backroad, and highway on-ramp into something you'll actually look forward to.

Why Enthusiasts Love the Forte GT Manual

Unlike many modern vehicles that have eliminated the manual transmission entirely, the Forte GT Manual was built specifically for drivers who enjoy being part of the driving experience.

The short-throw 6-speed transmission gives you complete control over the powerband while the turbocharged engine provides strong acceleration whenever you need it. Whether you're carving through Missouri back roads, commuting through St. Louis traffic, or simply enjoying a weekend drive, this Forte GT delivers excitement every time you grab another gear.
