  Nothing but problems - 2010 Kia Forte
  By Kris - November 17 - 1:06 am

  I bought this car in october of 09. Loved it for the first 1000 miles then the driver side window had adjustment problems and was hitting the molding sounding like the window was gonna break. Now when i shitf gears i get a back fire threw the intake and no one can figure out what it is and now since 4200 miles its have a clunk and the front end and they say they cant fix it cuz they cant pin point the noise. WTF?? ive owned 14 cars before this and this is my first new car and id rather drive my 1990 vw jetta with 200,000 miles than this car!!!

  High Value for Money - 2010 Kia Forte
  By ausman - October 17 - 11:56 am

  Well designed, in and out. Fit and finish impressive. Feels stable and powerful. Classy, understated interior. Very well appointed for price. Instrumentation and dash clearly lighted. Strong acceleration, though A/T is a little balky and indecisive (note Oct. 09 TSB that promises a fix). Cruises quietly and effortlessly. More than adequate leg and head room front and rear even with sunroof. Seats comfortable enough, but could use more lateral support and cushioning. Above average suspension, but a little jumpy over uneven surfaces. Sound system excellent, but speed sensitive audio feature is ineffective. Bluetooth needs better firmware. Large capacity trunk. Very good fuel economy.

  great little car - 2010 Kia Forte
  By minotrice - October 14 - 3:04 am

  we bought the ccar used in 2012, since then it has been all over fl and 2 trips to ga. on the hwy i get between 36-41mpg and on the slower back country roads going 55 i get 52mpg. not a single problem with the car the only reason i gave it a 2 for comfort is the front seats are only good for about 150miles anything longer and and they let you know your in an econmy car. the car has good pick up and go too

  By kiaMgirl - July 9 - 6:46 pm

  I saw someone driving this car and I had to have one. I spent months researching it before test driving. Bought it Oct. 31st, and found rust LESS THAN A MONTH later!!! Car is great otherwise. So take your chances people, remember you get what you pay for.

  Forte sx 6 spd - 2010 Kia Forte
  By John - June 28 - 7:03 am

  To now, put 150 miles on the car. Really fun to drive after i got the hang of the really touchy clutch. I have drove manual cars forever, this one is really hard to adjust too. But, once done really fun to drive. Interior is very nice in the sx, my only complaint is the seat adjustment is a little weird. Im 62", so seat adjustability is crucial. Overall, great car. Awesome buy for the $$. Had a civic prior to this car, this is hands down a better car in general. 10 yr warr is great too. Only complaint is fuel mileage. I work 2 miles from home and average 24 mpg. But, the fun factor of the 2.4 L 6 spd is worth it.

  So many standard options for a compact - 2010 Kia Forte
  By Mark - June 18 - 4:20 pm

  2010 Kia Forte SX - We were lucky enough to get the SX with all the options including the leather. This car is amazing. With times a little tougher my wife sold her 2003 Bmw M3 Convertible. We both love the car and the heated leather seats made the transition to this new car great. We drove 500+ miles to pick it up and it was fun to drive home after the purchase. It is almost unbelievable how this car has so many standard options on the base model. With the sirus radio and bluetooth radio it makes it even easier and very fun to drive. The car handles very well at 80 and seems to stop very good. The ride is smooth until you hit small pot holes, then the car feels a little ridged.

  I love my Forte! - 2010 Kia Forte
  By New 2 Kia - April 3 - 10:23 am

  I made the switch from a truck with terrible fuel economy to this vehicle - I am getting more than twice as many miles per gallon! I really do love my Forte. One of the great things is all the features that come standard with every model. I have only had it for a few weeks but so far so good! I would suggest to anyone considering the LX to think about getting the EX. The baseline EX is not much more expensive and I think the power windows and locks is a great feature. Hassle those dealers!

  Great Car for the money.... - 2010 Kia Forte
  By lisa - March 24 - 2:30 pm

  I just purchased my 2010 Kia Forte SX 4 door...i love this car! It looks good from the outside and drives great!! I thought because of the 4 cylinder....no power but this car really can kick into some speed! The gas use has been great and it really gets some mileage to the gallons. If you are looking for a great looking car, great price then the Kia Forte is it. Im very happy with my purchase and never thought I would say that about a KIA...no doubt KIA has done a great job with this new vehicle.

  Great bargain - 2010 Kia Forte
  By dankocke - March 23 - 1:07 am

  For the price (with rebates) this is hands down the best car in its category. For the price that is... not for what it is. While it has all sorts of wonderful features like bluetooth, satellite, etc., it does not have the same feel of a VW, Toyota, or Honda. That said, the fuel economy is not as good either. Ive filled it up 3 times now and in cold weather in mixed driving Ive averaged 27mpg. I use to get that in my Acura TSX. The Forte is a very nice car, though. It feels solid, is very quiet, and has a huge trunk. I have the coffee interior which is fantastic looking. I wish Kia would drop the 2.4l into the EX as the suspension on the SX is too stiff.

  Kia Forte Koup - Do not buy - 2010 Kia Forte
  By Lynn - February 25 - 10:50 pm

  Carpet on below the mats are ripping and I have had them replaced and they are ripping again. Below my glove box the carpet is hanging down and I can see the bolts. My gears are slipping already. Horrible. I have only had it for 4 months.
