  • Awful Build quality! - 2010 Kia Forte
    By -

    We purchased our 2010 Kia Forte brand new car has been the worst car we have every had, heated seats never worked it came from the factory with them not connected, sunroof cracked for no reason took a month for Kia to pay for it. Then windshield cracked overnight for no reason. now at 7000 miles transmission has went out and Kia said it will take two weeks to fix it and will not provide us with a loner car. We will be trading this car in when we get it back but it has awful resale value. We will never purchase another Kia.

  • Great affordable sports car! - 2010 Kia Forte

    I can only echo the comments by Rockin RN -- I agree with everything except that I think its a little harsh on the bumps, but thats to be expected since its a sports car. The 2.4 engine is very responsive from the start and even after its up to speed. The gas mileage is good so far (Ive only had it for about three weeks) and Im averaging 26 MPG combined city/highway. Ive also got the Racing Red, automatic and it gets a lot of compliments. Kia did a great job with it and with their warranty its a winner so far.

  • Better Than Cars Several Thousand More - 2010 Kia Forte
    By -

    Got my new Forte EX and I love it. I just keep finding more and more that I like about it. I think this is the type of car that can turn around Kias bad reputation. THe fact that its inexpensive and is flat out fun is awesome. I love the plethera of options. I have found the places where Kia cut costs and used cheaper things, and overall, I think the car was made well, and designed well. I think that once word spreads about Kia being reputable, this will be Kias top seller, and maybe top seller in its class. Better than the Civic, and cheaper? It just has to prove reliability to me and I will call it a home run.

  • Great Car for the money - 2010 Kia Forte
    By -

    I bought this car 5 days after seeing it. I was skeptical at first because of the kia reputation of being cheap, but after doing research and actually going for a test drive I was blown away by this car. it is responsive, the sport tuned suspension just hugs the turns. acceleration is great, and the gas mileage is excellent. Kia finally got it right with this one. If you are looking at this car take a look at the competition and you be surprised that they cant touch Kias value on this one. I will say that this trim level comes with almost everything standard, I got the added sunroof, but in hindsight I should have also purchased the auto dimmer for the review. Just food for thought.
