  • Redefining Value - 2010 Kia Forte
    By -

    Just bought the 2010 Forte SX 5sp A/M. I had a hunch that this would be a worthwhile purchased after reading all the rave reviews. It was hard to convince my partner that Kia has come a long way since the 90s and even the mid 2000s. The standard features you find at any Forte model are extra on Honda, Toyota, Mazda and Nissans. The bumper and powertrain warranty has no match. The best part is that we were able to buy it at about 300 above invoice with the Southern Hospitality deal (free oil/filter/tire rotation, etc. for life). Thank you Greenbrier Supercenter.

  • I Luv my Kia - 2010 Kia Forte

    Ive had my Coup for just a little over 2 months. I still love walking out to the parking lot at work and seeing my baby. Even better when I get in to enjoy the drive home. I have had so many compliments on this car as well. It feels like I should have paid much more for it. The acceleration is great on this car! I need to be careful though, I have tendency to want to go faster than what the speed limit is because its so fun to drive! Oh, and the gas mileage is awesome! The way this car drives and performs it feels like shouldnt be so efficient. And my teenagers actually dont mind being seen with me in this car racy red car. :)

    I first saw the Koup in online reviews from the 2008 New York Auto Show. I was really impressed with the body lines, and intrigued by the 2.0 with Turbo. When the Genesis Coupe came out with the Turbo, I was certain the Koup wouldnt be far behind - alas it was not to be. I do have to say, however, that the 2.4 with the 6 speed manual has plenty of pep and is fun to drive - once youre used to first gear! After driving an 05 Spectra5 for 111,000 miles, I was certain that another Kia purchase would be a wise one. My milage is a little less than the Spectra - but the engine is larger... After over 2000 miles, I am not disappointed!

    Goodbye 08 Corloa, hello 2010 Forte SX! Features I love: Bluetooth, sirius radio, metal trim, leather steering wheel with audio controls, foglights, chrome tailpipe, 2.4 Liter 173 HP engine that is peppy yet economical, awesome styling (in and out). FUN TO DRIVE!! SEXY CORSA BLUE COLOR!

  • I LOVE my 2010 Kia Forte EX - 2010 Kia Forte
    By -

    With 4000k miles in 2 months since driving it off the lot, I have only great things to say about this car! Everything. Absolutely everything is awesome! It looks sharp, like a Lexus and drives like a sporty Cadillac with room to spare! The bluetooth and Sirius rocks especially now that msnbc is on channel 90. I spend more time in my car than my house and feel like Im not missing out on anything! The fully reclining front seats let me catch some needed zs in sweet comfort, and when I need some zip, its there big-time without hesitation! For the price, it doesnt get any better than this! The fun is free!

    Still in getting broken in period, have the Corsa Blue, get lots of looks as the color seems to glow in the dark.

  • Great car with great mileage and comfort - 2010 Kia Forte
    By -

    I also have the EX with the Fuel Economy package. Runs nice and quiet along with being comfortable inside. I traded in a Dodge Caravan and this is my second Kia (also own a Sedona). Kia products seem to be very well constructed since I havent had any problems and really dont expect any. The 3 months Sirius is great since Ive never used this before so its a good way to try it out. The bluetooth is also great, especially for your phone (it shows who you are talking to and has voice activated commands).

  • Currently have 7500 miles driven and I love it! - 2010 Kia Forte
    By -

    Bottom Line: This is an attractive fun car that is affordable. I have always been a Toyota driver because of their reliability. Well Im 28 and wanted to get a little more than the basic corolla. The corolla S is a joke! It has no added performance features so it was time to look elsewhere. My target was a Civic SI but it just cost too much. I test drove the Forte and fell in love. The manual transmission is a little touchy but with a little practice its easy to get used to. I love this car and if you give it a try you will too! Note: I gave the car a reliability rating of 5 because of the 100,000 warranty and free roadside assistance for 5 years.

  • Forte is great! - 2010 Kia Forte

    I love my Kia Forte. It is strong and peppy. Sometimes I feel like it shifts to 5th in a funny place, but the drive is very nice. I have also been getting better gas mileage than I expected. I love the Blue Tooth and steering controls but wish it had automatic lights as a feature. The trunk is enormous. Overall, so pleased!
