  Amazing Comfort for a Compact - 2010 Kia Forte
  By pnassos - December 29 - 11:43 pm

  I downgraded from a Chrysler Concorde; the Forte is really quite comfortable & I am 62", 230 lb. Buy the SX trim - great value, handling, & fast engine. This car hits 90 with ease -- feels like 60. The 2.4 Liter engine & 5 speed work well together. My family likes the heated seats, iPod / USB port, Bluetooth, & satellite radio; prior to this car, I called these luxuries - but they are now necessary. You have to spend $ 25K plus to get this equipment in comparable cars. This car has been solid from the start & is more comparable to Camry, Fusion & Malibu than the compacts. A great value. Kia has now come to Georgia to build their cars & SUVs.

  Good Car - 2010 Kia Forte
  By Dot T - November 22 - 2:20 am

  We all like new cars so I kept this 4 months before writing a review. I get good gas mileage, an average of 26 -28 mpg hwy/cty. I love the stereo, cell phone and other controls on the steering wheel and the fact that I dont have to turn my lights off and on. I will wait to really rate reliability. In 4 months Ive had no problems. My previous car was an Accord, this car is quieter and more fun to drive. I hope it lasts as long.

  2010 forta - 2010 Kia Forte
  By weso1 - November 16 - 4:33 pm

  Wow this car is fun to drive. Its everything said about the car and more. We first tested the 2.0L EX 5 speed with a little better fuel mileage and like the car. We then tested the 2.4L with a 6 speed SX model loaded with options and fell in love.The transmission was a little getting used too with the gears so close and has a lot of get up and go.I would get this car in this price range over any other. We are very happy.

  2010 Kia Forte SX (5A) - 2010 Kia Forte
  By Chris - November 10 - 8:50 pm

  In August I purchased a 2010 Kia Forte SX with black cloth interior, and love it. I looked at the Civic, Mazda3 and Corolla; the Forte SX was ~$1500 less money, had a few more standard options (e.g., bluetooth)and to me, looks better than the other three. Plus, the warranty is very good (5/60 & 10/100). The exterior color is black, and I had the windows tinted, so it really adds to the overall looks. With the sport suspension, it takes the small road bumps kinda hard, plus there does seem to be a rattle in the suspension area when going over the bumps (Ill drive a little longer, if still an issue, Ill get this checked out). Overall, great ride, great looking compact car, great value.

  Best car in its segment! - 2010 Kia Forte
  By Muhammad Waqas - November 2 - 2:33 pm

  I bougth this car couple of months ago. I dont think there is any car better in this segment than forte. I have driven almost all the major cars in the segment, and forte beats them all. Civic might be a little more refined, but forte has more power and features. Mazda 3 is fun to drive on short routes, but on highway, forte beats it and it has better fuel economy with more space. Lancers engine is very noisy, and it has a terrible fuel economy.

  Great for the price - 2010 Kia Forte
  By jezdjb - September 10 - 4:04 am

  This little car is quick, comfortable, and good looking. 6700 miles so far and no issues what so ever. We avg 29mpg with city/hwy mixed. Havent gone on the "long drive" yet but Im guessing it will be fine. Like it so much we went and bought a 2011 Rio SX so it wouldnt be lonely :)

  DO NOT BUY THIS CAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - 2010 Kia Forte
  By lydiac8668 - September 2 - 8:11 pm

  I am amazed they have not recalled this car! My engine has stalled on me 4 times now and no one knows how or why. According to other sites, I am not the only one! I drive only 4 miles away from my home daily to go to work on a very busy street. The last time it stalled, my lights were still on in my car, except my engine cut off, as well as my power steering, in drive, and I had to throw on my emergency lights and use my entire body weight to pull into a lot. This is day 5 of having a rental car through Kia and they still cant "recreate the situation" or "fix it". If you wouldnt put your loved one in it, dont buy it!

  Cant buy a better car!!! - 2010 Kia Forte
  By forteowner (: - July 29 - 4:16 am

  Ok i had a Ford Escort before and i loved the fact it was american. But when time came to get new I wanted something nice. I dont make a million bucks a year and i really dont need to with this. Had this basically since it hit the car lots. I do a good bit of driving and no matter how i drive whether its pedal to the metal or soft and slow the worst mileage i had was 28. I love the radio its a blast and everyone who rides in always loves it. Everyone who saw this car loves it. Its already gotten pretty cold here already and ive had no probs with it starting. This car takes corners and just all in all drives like a champ. I have no complaints about this car!! BUY IT!!!

  Disappointment - 2010 Kia Forte
  By Patricia Wald - July 6 - 11:46 am

  This car is a major disappointment. Ride is rough. Brakes and gear shift poorly responsive, fuel injection uneven. No vision out rear window. Rear headrests further block vision. Back of car too high for vision. Drivers left vent for air very poor. Controls for sunroof make no sense in terms of open being opposite of closed. Takes excessive time for sunroof control to result in desired position. Remote key to open trunk is extremely slow. Have to be right at trunk for it to respond. The trunk door doesnt stay in the up position. Very narrow access to truck. Would recommend against anyone buying this car.

  Im in love - 2010 Kia Forte
  By crazyyank - June 20 - 1:23 pm

  I traded in my 07 Corolla for the 2010 Forte SX Koup. Ive had the car for 2 weeks and I still smile everytime I look at it. I got the silver exterior and the sunroof. The car handles like a dream and the acceleration is more than enough (esp when you hit it at 60 to get past a slower car). The ride is a little stiff, but as someone else said it is a sports car. I do not miss my Corolla at all nor do I regret not getting the 6cyl Mustang I was thinking about. You get more "bang for the buck" with this car and more than one person has commented on the exterior styling.
