  I hope I didnt make a mistake - 2010 Kia Forte
  By bj - April 28 - 10:33 pm

  I bought this KIA 2 days ago. I really liked the looks and the price. Today I noticed that my front right bumper little loose. I took it right back the dealership after they looked at it they said they have to wait for KIA motors response since they dont see any damage and they never seen this happen before. Interior looks nice but the material is little cheap compare to my 11 yr old Honda Civic. Leather doesnt feel like good leather. Too many oily fingerprints. I hope I didnt make a mistake buying this car. We own 7 Hondas in the family, this is the 1st Korean car.

  Give Kia a go - 2010 Kia Forte
  By truth1107 - January 29 - 3:41 pm

  Any negative impressions I had previously about Kia have changed dramatically. I bought a 2010 Forte Koup recently and have enjoyed it more and more every day. Exterior styling is best in class. Great features like Bluetooth, satellite radio, ipod inputs. Car is very smooth especially at high speeds on the interstate. Drove the civic, the corolla, and found the kia to be more stylish. The Forte Koup could use a little more pep on the lower end and sometimes there are severe downshifts with the automatic transmission when you gas it hard. Feels great seeing the ECO light come on when cruising at 75mph.

  character in a car - 2010 Kia Forte
  By dave - January 10 - 7:43 pm

  I traded in a mazda6 which was good but just boring.Ive had the car for 4 weeks. The new Forte has character. Its a fun car to drive. It has plenty of room, a large trunk, plenty of back seat room.It handles great and with the 2.4 engine has more accelaration then the old mazda6 with a 3.0.The satellite radio and easy MP3 hook up is great.It evens comes with bluetooth which I didnt care about but makes driving safer.It has most options standard on the SX.The new mazda 3 may have a nicer interior(ugly grill) but I would rather have the extra money in my pocket.Once you get used to the delayed throttle its a blast to drive.Nothing in its class has as much power or is as much fun to drive.

  Great car for a great price! - 2010 Kia Forte
  By littleashley - January 6 - 4:35 pm

  My husband and I owned this car for a year, and I loved it! We put 20k miles on it with no problems, and the gas mileage was great.. We made it from San Diego to Phoenix with one tank. The body style is classy, not like the older kias. The interior also looks extremely nice with leather, and I liked the digital radio and the way it worked with sirius. The car was also fun to drive.. Its only a 4 cyl, so it doesnt have a lot of pick up, but it handles really well. We had to trade in our car because it was difficult getting the car seat in and out of the back, but thats the only reason!

  Excellent Car... - 2010 Kia Forte
  By jmp2010 - January 3 - 2:46 am

  I traded a 1997 Ram 4wd i have had for 6 years for this car. Obviously the gas mileage was the problem with my truck. Over the course of 3 days i drove a total of 27 different vehicles. I came to my kia dealership with the sole intention of a used car. My salesman gave me the keys to a new 2011 Forte Ex and said drive it like you stole it lol. I was so impressed with the car i signed papers 30 minutes later. My car was slightly used as a low mileage lease to the Kia manufacturing plant a few miles from my home. Its primary function was a carpool car. It was perfectly maintained and had 3400 miles on it. It now has a little over 29000 on it and not even the slightest hint of a problem.

  Great car for an even greater price! - 2010 Kia Forte
  By gnatmarie - October 19 - 3:43 pm

  I have had this car for 7 months now and I am thoroughly impressed. I am coming from a 2002 Volkswagen Jetta so the fact that I never have to take my Kia Forte into the dealership for a check engine light every month is a very nice perk. My Forte hasnt had any problems yet. Ive had the oil changed once (I love that it only needs to be changed every 7,500 miles) and I will be getting a second oil change soon enough. The inside of my Forte is really classy. I love the materials used for the interior. I especially love the type of paint they use for the interior trim. It doesnt chip and peel. Then again, I make sure I never use any kind of harmful cleaner on it.

  Fuel Economy Package - 2010 Kia Forte
  By Allan M - September 4 - 5:40 am

  If fuel economy is important to you, get the Kia EX with the "Fuel Economy Package". Its worth the upgrade ($600) and you get a 5 speed auto instead of a 4 speed (averaging 38 mpg right now- mostly highway miles). The interior is nicely detailed for its class. Bluetooth and Sirius Radio are great features included w/ this car! Pretty roomy interior for its size(Im 65") and the trunk is big too! Overall, Im very happy with my purchase of the Forte (have owned it for a month) and would highly recommend it! Nice looks, great fuel economy, spacious interior, a lot of features for the money, and a great warranty. With all that, you cant go wrong!

  Best Value for Your Money - 2010 Kia Forte
  By Mike - August 20 - 8:43 am

  This is the first car that I bought. I bought the Forte new and had the car for almost 6 months now. I didnt run into any problems with it. I have the EX model with cloth interior. The inside & outside appearance of the car doesnt look cheap. It is sporty looking which I like. I can keep up with bigger cars on the highway. The engine is pretty powerful for a 4 cylinder. I was surprised. The car has great stopping power if you need to stop fast. I was looking into getting a Corolla and a Mazda 3 but they were both a lot more money & I didnt like the smiling grill on the 2010 mazda 3. Forte looks better. I got a lot more for my money with the Kia Forte. I am very pleased with my purchase.

  We are getting excellent value from our sedan - 2010 Kia Forte
  By smulvey - August 17 - 10:39 pm

  We have a 2010 FORTE EX lease car for $ 239 a month with -0- down, -0- first month payment and a $ 400 disposition fee. So our monthly cost for this car is pretty low. We have 20,000 miles on it to date. We just drive 500 miles Sunday Dec 9,2012 and we got somewhere between 32 and 35 MPG. We have Blizzack Snow tires, four adults in the car, limited luggage. We adjusted the seats to get good leg room, we are all 6 foot tall. We have the Automatic 4 speed. The cars equipment all works good. We have had no dealer service. We do oils changes and tire changes. That is all. Our dealer is a dishonest crook. ( Vision Kia of Fairport NY ). He cant change so we just pray for him and hope for best
