  • amazing ^^

  • It's sad that the Canadian Forte version doesn't have two tone interior or the metal center dash for the lower trims.

  • Hi, Please help!! Stop at 1:25 to 1:31 sec!! Anyone know in which website can i get this Forte EX model dashboard radio panel for OEM DVD player at lower price?? Which means its without the original CD changer and radio. Its just a big rectangle hole replacing it. Thanks in advance.!!!!:))

  • I'm typing this as the ad is playing before the video.

  • the 2009-present Kia Forte is assembled in

    China: Jiangsu

    Kazakhstan: Ust-Kamenogorsk

    South Korea: Hwaseong, Gyeonggi

  • Just bought one last week myself, and love it! 31.4MPG AVG. Can't beat the car for the price!

  • I hate the commericals at the beginning of videos ...

  • I just bought the 2010 cherry Forte EX last week and im loving it so far. It's saving me so much money in gas over my Escape, and its so fun to drive:)

  • I rented a Forte last summer & liked it so well, I'm thinking of buying one now. It rode very well for a small car. Also, I personally think Civics are kind of ugly but think the Kia looks sharper on a lot of levels. The Civic hybrid is about as ugly as the Toyota Prius.

  • I love this little car. A friend just got one & seemed well built. Living in San Fran, a small car is the only way to go especially if u want to park it. It has a great warranty, safety features & peppy good sized engine. So what if it's Korean. For those of us old enough there was a time not long ago when Japanese cars were unreliable & a joke to buy. Things change n evolve. Korean cars are selling at a faster rate every year. The more options we have the better for us.

  • @shwmehvn Well, the more Korean cars we buy mean less produced here in the US&Can which means less jobs, which means more money funnelling out of our economy and into theirs, which means less options for all of us.

    Fuckin moron, why don't you move to Korea if you love their shit so much. You're obviously more supportive of them. Poor soldiers in the mideast dying for America and your freedom, and you support Korea. Thanks.

  • @sisterblister77 It is the other way around in our state! Our governor begged the Koreans to build a Kia plant in our state a few years back. Of course, several Georgians took these off-shoring jobs provided by the plant. I bet home-front Koreans don't like that...

    Btw, you're over exagerating the context of shwmehvn's post. Just because he says he favor Korean cars does not mean he hates America and doesn't support our troops. We live in a global economy. The world lives off mutual trade.

  • @LastXdeth Well Korea doesn't live off our mutual trade as they restrict foreign produced cars from being sold in their country. Where I'm from,(Ontario, CAN) we have the US3, Honda, & Toyota plants. The pittance Honda & Toyota pay their employees does nothing for our economy. To save, they put their plants in rural areas with small populations. GM has contributed greatly to our large community over the past 60 years. Honda & Toyota do nothing. All their money goes back to Japan (after taxes)

  • i might get one of these cars but i want some of those cool gray pants this guy is wearing too.

    i'll never buy a dodge or gm until they have a 125,000 mile warrantly.

    

  • mazda 3 is best kia is cheap. lol

  • @dhruvilshah30

    I have Mazda and i'm going to buy this new KIa

  • @ProtegeTuype tell me which u like most not kia because its new compare those two car because i m really confuse which one i should buy. thanks

  • lol i do not see how the kia looks like the honda civic the civic is less sporty

  • looks good every time

  • great review!

  • I bought LX blue !! I LOVE IT!

  • just bought one...and its pretty awesome!! i bought mainly for the warranty so it was between hyundai and kia...test drove the elantra...it was like driving a corolla...boring...but i was really blown away with this car...highly recommend it

  • Civic looks so gay

  • kia is CHEAP... It dents VERY EASY and u sure dont see them around LONG.... Because THey dont last!!! VALUE of them DONT HOLD up at all.... Looks so fake!

  • Comment removed

  • @giannial1985: Wrong. Fifteen years from now, the Civic will still be going and the Forte will be scrap metal.

  • Comment removed

  • @thunderstruck665 u can say that again!!! :) thats why u dont see older kia or hyundai around now......

  • @giannial1985 u think?? haha u should go ahead and pay a "little more" and get whats good

  • Kia produces 3 door hatch of the Forte and that car is the most appealing design than any other, but they don't bring it to the US.

  • looks like a civic

  • this car is the best

  • "It has some things to learn from its competitors like the Civic and Mazda 3 but I'm not going to mention what those are. Why? Because fuck you that's why."

    Yeah, great review.

  • Can't believe that Kia has gone a long way from the dragged to the draggers. They are distinctively stylish to the point of revolutionary and evolutionary of their tedious forms and inspiration and they are evolving in terms of quality and value. can't wait for the Sportage, Optima, and Sorento to dominate! The Soul and forte are already proving such. This is a very stylish and unique looking car.

  • hmm , i was BIASED against KIA but it looks like a nice competitor to Corolla and Honda..interesting. but which one is better?

  • unibrow

  • TourDeSomwhere take ur stupid ass comments and shove them up ur pie hole!!

    let people think wht they want.. AND by the way.. I DO KNOW ABOUT CARS BITCH =]

  • this car still isn't as good as corolla or civic but price is tempting and for the money I will buy it

  • I don't know why people say it looks like a Civic. The back of the Civic is butt-ugly compared to the Forte's.

  • umm everyone put sum input on this when i say; the kia forte looks way better than the honda civic right?

  • I think the forte is 10x prettier on the outside, and the drivers interface is way better too. the civics 05' and up model is annoying with the speed being on top...

  • @Cars(dot)com:

    You can't even afford a good camera??? As I know, You-tube pays you, right?

  • Hyundai and Kia are going to take over Toyota and Japan just like Samsung and LG did with Sony and Panasonic

  • This car has a very attractive design and it is a good car, no doubt...However, I would rather preffer a Hyundai Elantra, since this last is more confortable, taking in consideration the Suspension system in Forte is Mcpherson (front)/Torsion bean (rear), while the Elantra features Mcpherson(front)/ Multilink independent suspension(rear).

  • Oh, BTW, Elantra has a better dashboard soft feeling, it is not all hard plastic, it is soft to touch, and that is a very good point.

  • strange, I have an LX with split folding rear seats and the center armrest, and basically all the other EX and SX options except leather and heated seats. Not complaining

  • For people who thinks that this car looks like the Civic, you know nothing about cars. If you cannot tell the difference between two different cars, you are good as those people who could not be bothered about cars. You think you know cars? You know nothing.

  • so you know, the new civic and the forte were both designed by the same guy, which is why they do look alot alike. We got a better looking and functioning version of the SI's interior in even the LX model though, for less money

  • @TourDeSomewhere

    u talked as if you know a lot.

  • @chowcp85 Safe to say, I do know alot.

  • @TourDeSomewhere

    maybe what they meant was that Forte front end looks "similar" to the civic. Go to kia.com and you could see them side by side.

  • @BALLIN02130 Yeah I understand that the Civic and Forte looks similar. But the difference is very significant such that it is not a blatant copy or rip off. Many cars in the market now looks the same. I mean, how different can they be? Unless you want to be different and drive a Ssangyong. I just cannot see why stereotypical people can't accept the fact that both Kia and Hyundai are improving at a very fast rate. And to say that the Forte copies the Civic...eh no.

  • @TourDeSomewhere I personally think the Civic is an ugly (almost boring) looking car. So many people rave about it, but I would never own one myself. I have driven the Kia Forte in a rental car & actually loved driving it. I did not not want to give it back to the car rental place. It was a fun car to drive. :)

  • @TourDeSomewhere Why didn't you explain the differences to try and educate us? *Exterior*

  • pff ford same reliability as honda/toyota my ass tell that to all the people that bought ford and have to choose between taking the bus or pay their rent the only vehicle id buy american is a jet because you guys do make the best jets

  • @thebankcard Do you know what you're talking about ? It really doesn't sound like it. First of all you must have forgot about Toyotas most recent recall involving the accelerator getting stuck under the floormat which has caused accidents, what's Toyota's fix for now ? Telling you to remove your floormat. Oh and I suppose you didn't hear about Honda's problem with randomly deploying airbags either ? 96 cases Honda denied.

    Why don't you do some reading and stop being such a jap sack rider.

  • I remember working on the 2000 and 2002 Camry's and Accord's on their transmission problems. Just cause Ford had a bad number of years doesn't mean that they're bad currently. I've driven someone's 2008 Ford Fusion and that thing is great. The build quality is great, good ride, spacious. I can't think of anything wrong with it. Its not sporty but that's not what we're looking for here. Anyways my point is that every manufacturer made a bad number of cars at some point.

  • Are these car people stupid or what? Why on earth do they keep saying that its similar to the Civic when the Forte's prototype first came way before the civic? its like saying the chicken came before the egg.

  • kia and hyundai are great better then any american car

  • hell yea, all day any day

  • The Ford focus is pretty close

  • @SMGslimg00dy focus is crap. i sat in one at the masconi center autoshow in sf and it was all plastic.

  • the koup should have a 3 liter engine..

  • The forte is very nice! awesome car

  • wannabe thats all kia is about.

  • This is a Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla, and a Mitsubishi Lancer all slaped into one. lol

  • everyone's dream... a cheaper civic

  • The Forte starts at 16K (still higher priced than the Spectra was).

  • me gusta muncho este carro.. pienso que tiene mejor vista que el civic and corolla y toda la demas marcas... pero mi favorito es el kia Forte Koupe.. ese si esta padre y la maquina 2.4 wuau es sorprendente. LOL

  • Looks much better than the Corolla.

  • Although similar to Civic, I think it looks better from every angle. Both sedan and coupe are so much more sharper and more mature looking. However, I HATE the hard plastic dashboard. That screams cheap to me. To make it worse, it leaves scratch marks very easily. I test this on one. Was very disappointed scratching my almost nonexistent fingernail on the dashboard left a permanent mark. Not cool. It did feel fairly roomy and comfortable inside though. Not a bad car, just too cheap for me.

  • The offspring of a Honda Civic and Hyundai Elantra

  • Taco man are you a racist?

    If you don't like me because I'm white, Then you can kiss my ass.

    People like you cause wars between friends.

  • I working with Kia on the Forte and wanted to clear up the comments regarding safety. The Forte achieved a 5-star crash rating which is as high as it gets. In addition to the positive reviews it has received, NADA Guides also named it car of the month this month for among other reasons, safety.

  • it simply sayng that it replaces the generic spectra would grossly underrated potencial impact. and its available and kia forte coupe too

  • Wow so many people who think they know everything. No, Kia is not japanese, yes, I do shop at walmart and will defend it to the end because I'm not an arrogant self righteous prick. Now back to the car and MY honest opinion. I think Kia/Hyundai have definitely matched the "big japanese two"'s reliability and surpassed their value. But from a newly converted VW guy, and just judging by this video, I think they copied the Civic a bit too much in the styling dept. and fallen short in the interior

  • lmao, moon roof. Does he mean sun roof, or am i missing something.

  • You are missing something.

  • This is hopefully going to be my next car.

  • Comment removed

  • Looks like a 2006 Accura TSX

  • i think kia needs a car that will get it noticed, like hyundai's genesis sedan. overall this car looks nice but it does look similar to the honda civic, and im not sold on the quality of this car.

  • It may look similar but if you see this car in person, its a bit wider than the civic and more attractive than the civic, over all i would get the fully loaded KIA Forte SX model that has173hp and cost the same price as the 140hp base model civic. what other car offers so much at $18,000? ah and dont forget that kias are very reliable too and come with 100,000 mile warranty.

  • 3:00 did that Mitsubishi cut off that speeding cement truck. i was waiting for a wreck

    Saw this car on the road today. Hyundai/Kia is stepping up! kudos to them. i still want a Genesis sedan.

  • I'm pretty surprised by this Kia, it actually looks pretty attractive. The interior looks good too, and it starts at a pretty damn good price.

  • i'll take a kia over an american car anyday

  • so because im american i have to be forced to buy a piece of crap ford? no thanks

  • no. you dont have to buy them, but you can support it..and you dont have to be a total dick there good cars well ford is, chrysler isent

  • in 2008 consumer reports rated ford #4 worst car company. the best were Honda, toyota, subaru, bmw and nissan

  • thats funny because i read an article where consumer reports stated ford has the same realiability as honda and toyota?

  • I deff dont shop at walmart...

  • Sorry buddy KIA is Korean.

  • Even if people purchased more products that were made in our country, we would still be in a recession.

  • No, Kia is Korean brudus.

  • looks pretty good and its a great overall package in tis class

  • lol, you know it's trying to compete with the civic because...IT LOOKS JUST LIKE A CIVIC!

  • The Forte looks decent

  • its amazing how it looks alot like the civic >_>

  • the windshield of the Forte doesn't go as forward as the Civic, personally I perfer the Forte's exterior over the Civic ... but the interior dash is kinda boring and busy looking, espeically the centre dash needs some rethinking in the Forte.

  • the rear end looks like a galant
