  • From Suzuki to KIA great move - 2010 Kia Forte
    By -

    I got the EX with the sunroof and the alloy wheels. This car has truly surprised me the way it drives and handles is excellent. I have only had it about a month but have already taken it on to lengthy road trips and it was very comfortable and easy to drive. The satellite radio and bluetooth are awesome too. The stereo in this car rocks!! I traded in a Suzuku SX4 that rode terrible when I got in this car and drove it I felt like I was in a cadillac but for a much cheaper price. I would highly recommend buying the KIA and the warranty cant be beat. I am very happy that I purchased this car. It looks great and is fun to drive. I look forward to driving it every time I get it in it.

    This is my second Kia and I am very happy with the Forte so far! I have the SX with the 6-speed, the ride is a bit bumpy but this car is a lot of fun to drive and it has a ton of features for a 17k car!

  • Power to Surprise ***** - 2010 Kia Forte

    Bought my Forte last week and so far the car has been very good. Korean Cars has been very reliable lately. Theres nothing i have as complain so far. Besides the good looks i like all the amenities and not to mention MPG is great. 1st Fill up i rode 400 miles w/ a full tank. I take a lot of Freeway maybe thats why but still very good for a 2.0 4cylinder.

  • Outstanding Car: The KIA Forte Koup - 2010 Kia Forte
    By -

    Ive been driving many different domestic and foreign cars for 33 years. I can say with certainty that the Forte is one of my top favorites. Its both sporty and classy inside and out. Its turning heads out on the road. All my family members (my wife and 3 kids) love the looks of and driving the car! If you are interested in the Forte and live in the Chicago-land area, visit Rosen Kia in Elgin. They provided me with a no-pressure and pleasant experience. They worked hard to make sure I was a happy customer and I am.

  • kia forte koup sx with leather - 2010 Kia Forte
    By -

    This is my first car and it is perfect! Everything is great. Every little thing is perfect. The quality sound of closing the door is great. Its a lot of fun to drive and has great power. I test drove the ex and sx and was much more impressed with the sx. The sx comes with everything nice from red stitching in the seats to speaker lights that flash to your music and it comes with the better suspension and engine.This car is truly amazing.... kia did a great job!

  • Seriously its a KIA! - 2010 Kia Forte
    By -

    Look I am a die hard Nissa/Infiniti lover, but I was tired of my 07 Versa. This time around I researched forever and narrowed down to the Nissan Sentra SR and the Kia Forte Koup. I bought the EX koup. I love 2 door cars and ultimately that was the deciding factor in the purchase, well that and the warranty. I drive quite a bit and wanted something that I would be happy driving all the time. So far not one disappointment with this car. Now I know its a KIA and that may be hard to stomach, but please give it a try. You will not be disappointed. And really if your buying it for a race car, dont its not and neither are any cars in a compact class. These class of cars are not Ferraris!!!!

  • 2010 Kia Forte Sedan SX - 2010 Kia Forte
    By -

    In several online reviews, the clutch is mentioned as a negative. I agree that the clutch is definitely "Different" in the 6spd Manual, but I think thats the way it is in many cars. While shopping, I drove a MINI, Civic Si, Genesis Coupe, all manual. Every one had different clutch characteristics. Aside from that, I really like the Forte. It has great exterior styling for a compact car, and nice interior arrangement and surfaces for a car of this price range. The seats are comfortable and the upgraded cloth of the SX feels more durable than the standard cloth seats. The trunk is surprisingly large for a car of this size.

  • Forget Honda or Toyota - 2010 Kia Forte
    By -

    Have no complaints whatsoever. Wife loves it. Smooth ride, comfortable, great interior and looks great. Have a 2005 Focus and the Forte makes the Focus seem like a wooden crate with wheels. I couldnt stand Kias in the past, they looked like generic junkie cars, but when we seen and test drove our forte ex we said "well take this one in White".

  • Best Car I have bought - 2010 Kia Forte
    By -

    Between me and my wife we have bought about 6 new cars in the last 25 years. We have owned Ford, Mitsubishis, Toyotas, Nissans and finally Kias. I have owned the Kia Forte for the past 6 months. It is the best car I have bought. My enthusiasm for the car hasnt diminished in the past 6 months. I like the firm suspension that the Forte was intentionally designed with unlike the VERY soft ride of Toyota and GM. Quality, pickup and gas mileage is great. I do not know how they got the highest horsepower with the greatest mileage in its class for a gas driven car. The engineering of the car is solid and the interior is nice and the car lines are good. I would highly reccemend this car.
