    2011 Kia Forte - EX (M6) Hatchback

    This car is great in the city and on the highway. It is pretty quiet and holds up well to crosswinds (50 mph winds). Fuel economy could be a bit better. Do average 30 MPG for combined city/highway driving.

    2011 Kia Optima

    Sweet Ride

    Pros: Styling

    Cons: N/A

    We have only owned the car for 2 weeks and have yet to make a 'trip' in it, but after driving small SUVs and 'little toy cars' for many years, this appears to be an excellent car...especially when factoring in the price.

    2010 Kia Forte

    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.

    2007 Kia Spectra

    Kia Fans

    Pros: The gas usage and the mp3 input.

    Cons: The size of the interior

    I found the kia spectra to be a very wise financialy sound purchase it is great on gas consumption, very durable and trustworthy. But not for drivers over 6'0 tall.

    2004 Kia Rio

    Kia Rio

    Pros: trunk and gas tank release

    Cons: thin steel wheels

    Good basic transportation, the steel wheels are easily bent on bad roads and quite pricey to replace. Very little maintance and starts very well even in cold weather. All over the high fuel prices this is a good comuter car average 30 MPG.

    2004 Kia Amanti

    Good Except for the Paint

    Pros: Heat, AC, and Trunk Size

    Cons: Radio-Poor Transmission, bumpers useless

    Overall satisfactory but an area of paint on the car door came off at a car wash due to water pressure. I had to get it repainted.
