  2010 Kia Forte

  Submitted on 2/19/2011 11:07:20 AM

  Summary

  Think twice before buying

  Pros: Its a tie between the slipping transmission and the customer friendly service department

  Cons: Everything

  I've got less than 10K miles on this piece of Korean krap, and the transmission slips, it's full of rattles and squeaks, and the service department at my local dealership can't duplicate any of the problems, so therefor they can't fix any of the problems.

  2010 Kia Forte

  Submitted on 4/23/2010 8:16:40 AM

  Summary

  best bang for your buck

  Pros: The exterior styling

  Cons: the cheap floor covering

  After looking at A Mazda 3s Gran Sport, Corolla XRS and Elantra SE the Forte had the most interior room, I think the best exterior styling, most horsepower in the group. It has a sport suspension huge brakes and it a blast to drive. It has the most standard equipment of all the vehicles I looked at. It also has a great Warranty. The craftsmenship was the best of the bunch. The gaps in sheetmetal and finish were superb. The interior was laid out the best with steering wheel controls and bluetooth standard.

  2010 Kia Forte - EX (M5)

  Submitted on 10/22/2009 10:01:07 PM

  Summary

  Pros: Bluetooth

  Cons: none. LOVE the car

  Advice: buy the Forte

  I bought a 2010 Toyota Corolla back in September, and have since started working at a Kia Dealership. Once i started driving the Forte for a few weeks, seeing the features it had in both safety and convenience, i knew i had to have one. My dealership bought out my lease on my Corolla, and cut me a huge deal on the Forte. I've had the car for two days now and am very satisfied. Best vehicle in its class, hands down.
