VERY informative review - best I've seen yet. Most other reviews I have seen have gone into only very basic detail & mostly spoke about the exterior of the car whereas, this reviewer spoke into high detail regarding the features etc. I'm in Australia where this car is called a 'Cerato Koup' - I'll be getting mine in red next week! Woo hoo!
Good to be aware of it, coz here in Brazil we´ll only get the 2.0 engine no matter if it´s the EX or SX. Koup arrives here on may, and I intend to get mine.
@ReaKtionary i test drove both EX and SX, i actually felt enough difference to want the SX. you can feel that extra 18 horses. You get nicer wheels, better suspension, and you gotta love the 6 speed manual
Really nice car, I drove one. Wish somebody would do a review of a black EX Koup. The back seat is surprisingly roomy in the Koup. SX rides a bit rough. EX rides smoother.
you should do a review for the forte sedan. that would be sweet. i didnt look yet to see if there already is one but if you didnt that would be cool. great review!
damn this car looks to sexy to be a kia

someone should buy an sx and slap a turbocharger on it. that would make a badass car.

For those interested in SX over EX due to power increase:
The weight-to-power ratio is very nearly identical (MF listed curb-weights and power). That's roughly 17.4:1 for the EX and 16.5:1 for the SX.
What do those numbers mean?
Nothing to the average consumer, as they are so close that driver experience will make more of a difference than the power.
That said, I'd happily take the EX over the SX, five-speed of course.
I hope that's helpful to someone.
