  • not so bad - 2010 Kia Forte
    By -

    2010 forte ex sedan 2.0L 4 cyl automatic. overall, id have to say i love this car. traded my nissan titan for this in 2010, and im LOVING the gas mileage. now has 26k miles. the exterior and interior both look really nice, and the ride is comfortable. i drive from dallas to corpus almost every other weekend, and it handles like a boss. pick up isnt that great, but thats to be expected with a 2.0. only thing i dont like is this thing is prone to dents. i just leaned on the car and i got a dent on the drivers side door. a girl from my university also hit the passenger door with her purse and dented it, and her purse was freaking tiny lol. despite that, KIA made one nice little car :)

    Never thought I would own a Kia like a lot of others have said, but when we test drove it we fell in love with it. Have put almost 3,000 miles on it, and have enjoyed every minute of it. The bluetooth is a neat feature, and we got 42 mpg on a recent road trip. Seats are comfortable, trunk is large, and it looks great!

    I love this car, accelerates nicely, good gas mileage, stylish design, quiet and smooth ride. Good price. Just bought it, only regret is that it has NO air conditioning, just assumed it would have ac, cold here so I did not have ac on my check list.

  • Buy a donkey not KIA - 2010 Kia Forte

    I have had this KIA for a year and 1/2. Been in shop more than a dozen times but still have problems with it. Even worst, in the last 1 1/2 year it lost more than $15,000 in value. Payed $19,000 for it in May 2011, it is now August 2012 and the trade in value is at $4,000. The exterior and interior are in great shape. DO NOT BUY KIA you will loose big time. You and american economy.

  • My second Kia in 1 year - 2010 Kia Forte

    This car is great. After I bought a 2011 Kia Sorento early in the year, I just had to buy the Forte with the fuel economy package for my transport car. Two weeks old with a thousand miles, this car will do just fine. Excellent buy.

  • Sweet SX - Automatic 2.4L - 2010 Kia Forte
    By -

    Just took it on my SX 4-dr on its inaugural tour to north Florida. I have 2,500 miles on it now and LOVE it! Exterior paint and finish is superior. Plenty of exterior chrome and the details have a quality look. A very tight feel to this vehicle. Excellent drive-ability and handling. Steering is sure and responsive. Braking is smooth and reassuringly certain. I preferred the comfort and roominess of the 4-door SX over the 2-door Koup. The transmission can be jumpy with Cruise Control in the hills (combination of 5 speed auto and 2.4 L). Lots of seat maneuverability to find the right passenger seating comfort on the road. Too much plastic in the dash, however it has a finished look and feel.

  • Great Car! - 2010 Kia Forte

    So Ive had my forte for 2 1/2 months now and so far so good! Ive logged about 5,200 miles on it already! Ive taken about 5 road trips this summer in my Forte, and it has been nothing but an awesome experience! I got my Forte SX model after much research. I used to own a 2000 Chevy Impala (Horrible Horrible Vehicle) and I wasnt in the market for a "New car" per se. I just happened to go to this Kia dealership in my Area to drive a chevy trailblazer, but I ended up walking out with a brand new Forte, lol! I was pretty much going to pay the same price for a brand new car, and a car with over 50,000 Miles on it. It was a no-brainer for me.

    This is a great car especially for the cost. Very Peppy, good handling, good road feel, quiet, smooth, big trunk, outstanding features. You cant ask for much more. I have a little over 100 mi on the car and have averaged about 26mpg according to trip computer with a mix of highway and city driving. Pretty good so far but hopefully that will increase with break in. This car really is an outstanding buy!

  • Fully satifisfied with my Forte - 2010 Kia Forte
    By -

    This car is pure pleasure to drive from the moment you get behind the wheel to the highway experience. This car has excellent handling good performance, pretty decent gas mileage. The bluetooth is nice and the satellite radio is another plus. Steering column control is not only convenient but it is also good for safety. I couldnt be happier with this car.

  • Wonderful Car - 2010 Kia Forte

    I traded a 1996 Accord for this car. It rides great, has plenty of pep and the warranty is the best.
