  Excellent Choice - 2010 Kia Forte
  By Mike - August 19 - 12:40 am

  After seeing a commercial for the Forte, I went to a dealership to check it out. I checked it out, drove it, and did some research online. I bought one about a month later. I couldnt be happier. Ive always driven trucks and SUVs, but I needed a more fuel-efficient car because of my daily commute. The Forte SX is fun, looks great, decent gas mileage, and a ton of standard features. I never thought Id drive a small foreign car, but I love this car. I could afford more expensive cars, but I think this one had the most bang for the buck. For me personally, I wasnt interested in the LX or EX, the SX was the only option.

  Kia Forte Koup SC - 2010 Kia Forte
  By fortekoup - August 15 - 12:46 am

  Originally went to the dealership looking at the Kia Soul, but my wife didnt like the look and feel. There was a Forte Koup SX waiting, outside it seemed to be wanting us to drive it. So drive we did and it was a blast on the short test drive. The 2.4L engine has good pull. The transmission reacts quickly. The suspension is firm without being too firm. We got the car in the Copperhead Orange, and its a stunning car to look at. The interior is just as nice, with supportive seats and lots of room inside. The Bluetooth works better than systems in more expensive cars. The standard radio in the SX has good power and sound.

  Impressed with Forte Koup - 2010 Kia Forte
  By Formigaman - May 22 - 2:13 pm

  Great little coupe, lol. Handles well, drives well and has plenty of get up and go when you want it, very leisurely when cruising around the block or on the interstate. I think 0-60 times are incorrect...I hit 85mph before entering the interstate on a standard on ramp. Very nice sounding stereo, love the simplicity of the interior.

  WANTED CIVIC MADE BETTER CHOICE - 2010 Kia Forte
  By emmett linkous - May 8 - 6:26 am

  I really wanted to buy a Honda Civic. I had a hard time making up my mind what to buy when I couldnt get the price on the Civic to meet my budget. I decided to check out the Kia Forte Ex. What a wonderful choice. I saved over 5000 dollars and came away with a vehicle that i think in the long run will just as good as the Civic. This car is loaded with more options and seems to be as well built as the Civic. Only time will tell. This car is really fun to drive. It has more pep than the Civic. I really like the steering wheel controls and the Blue Tooth.

  Great Value, Awesome braking - 2010 Kia Forte
  By themachine1 - March 13 - 5:11 am

  After finding out that Hyundai now owns Kia and the parts are nearly identical I chose the Forte over the Elantra hands down. Styling is 200% better, interior and exterior. Great back seat leg room compared to similar models. Awesome stock stereo system with ample bass. Good trunk space. Good Fuel economy, price, and Great overall value. I have 16,000 miles in a little over 6 months and I havent had one issue. My only problem was my Verizon phone wouldnt sink to the bluetooth, a phone issue not Kia.

  Not Bad For A Kia!!!! - 2010 Kia Forte
  By tgb2012 - February 14 - 7:41 pm

  Bought the 2010 SX Koupe 6-speed manual used with about 36k on it. Work at a kia dealership and fell in love with the car on my first day. decent fuel economy (22 city 27-29 highway 56 miles roundtrip everyday). Could use a little more pep since its main competitor (civic) has about 200 horse while the sx forte has 174. If you buy the car, do it the right way and get the SX. Better handling, bigger engine and sport tuned suspension make the SX the way to go.

  No brainer for the price - 2010 Kia Forte
  By llllllllljkkkk - February 1 - 6:13 am

  I drove a Camry and Acura TL, two of the most reliable and popular cars in the market, so going to a Forte was a big decision for me. Ive had the car for a month and I feel I get far so much than what I paid for. All the standard features are there + USB, Bluetooth and the 2.0L engine is good enough for daily driving with good mileage. Of course you are not buying a $40,000 car, so dont expect any grand performance or power. This is an under $20,000 car with all the features such as moonroof, leather + Americas best warranty. To put all these in a Corolla or a Civic will cost you $5-6k more. I strongly suggest this to any recent college graduates and people who drive a lot.

  Im Surprised - 2010 Kia Forte
  By bigbullldog - January 28 - 11:33 pm

  You can take this one to the bank. Best performance for value out there. The six-speed manual is not for first time stick drivers (Ive driven 5 speeds for years and this took a little getting used to). The car wants to accelerate, the steering is rock solid and responsive even over rough pavement. I test drove a turbo audi A4 six-speed as well and the forte performed as well in all categories except trim. In my opinion, if you go with a comparable honda or acura, youre just paying extra for the nameplate.

  First Time Kia Owner - 2010 Kia Forte
  By KiaGeo - December 9 - 11:36 pm

  Just bought a Forte Ex - leather, sunroof, alloy wheels... most of the toys. So far, less than 100 miles in, were enjoying this car. It looks sharp, and the ride is great for a small car. Its comfortable, fairly quiet, and has enough get up for us. We love the stereo, the Bluetooth, and all of the features that make driving fun, and hopefully, safe, that are usually found on more expensive cars. Very nice for the money. It remains to be seen how it will hold up, but then there is the warranty. Well let you know.
