KIA FORTE KOUP SX 2011

[101Hitman]

painted alloy wheels? geesh

[lilgurby]

Those speaker lights are really awesome. Pretty high end feature for this class of car. Are they standard?

[TheTikiReviews]

"ok lets take this guy out for a test drive lets see what she's made of!" lol trans car

[LewisAlk3]

@Stevenlannetta You're right, the SX get the automatic air conditionner + leather seat and this one doesn't.

[StevenIannetta]

This is a EX, not a SX

[metallica58266]

@StevenIannetta Its SX. you can tell by the Koup emblem on the back "the K is red and chrome" and inside the speedo has the red glow around which is on the SX not EX

[metallica58266]

@StevenIannetta oh and the speedo on the SX goes to 150mph the EX goes to 140mph

[swaqqkidd69]

so ive noticed they changed the design of the rims and led sidemirror lights on the 2011 its looks better i cant wait to get one i want the corsa blue tho

[yummy1234098]

WHERE DID HE GET LED TAIL LIGHTS?!?!?!

[swaqqkidd69]

@yummy1234098 the 2011 ones have them now & they also changed the rims on the sx

[yummy1234098]

@swaqqkidd69 oh ok i noticed that little later on after watching a few other videos.

[sneauxflayke]

Looks great in red. The color really pops out.

[jokomosa87]

[kompleti]

CIVIC S 2011 BEAT IT

[45barber1]

What options did it have or was it a standard

[Hazza101]

Why does your voice randomly turn into Homer Simpson's?

[giu2085]

@Hazza101 hahaha i saw this cmment and laughed so much when his voice changed!

[ninjaman989]

@Kulaness Yea, I think he said there was @ 0:13

[The19paul68]

Man i thought those were GPS.

[The19paul68]

wow nice review man. so i can change this car to auto or manual anything i want?

[insanitystudio]

saw a nice red one the other day with a big spoiler on it that made me turn around and take a second look cause it was so nice

[KatiushaVN4]

I like Honda but this car looks less gay than Civic

[Ashrak2002]

Screw honda. A kia is just as good, AND its cheaper

[JSCJL]

Pedal shifter as stock???

[kronosdb]

Does The SX come with Back-up camera navigation option ?

[pack13sheet]

hi... I just wanna ask... i thought the wheels should be a black 5 spool... can you get that for stock too? do you need to add a little bit of a buck to upgrade it to that nice mags? thanks man... and good review....

[the3idiots14]

sunruff? or sunroof?

[Aqrab1]

MPG CITY ???

MPG HIGHWAY ???

please give me for the 6 SPEED AUTO

NOT 5 SPEED OR 4 SPEED

[blackarrow0007]

i am not gonna take a test drive with you because you look very very unsafe driver to me ... both hands on the wheel !!!! 10 and 2 !!!!

[aaronisstellar]

@kompleti then why are you watching this video if you're just bashing kia's? If you love hondas and nissans so much then watch videos about those...

[NickBHawkinsonVideos]

@aaronisstellar WELL SAID WELL SAID....

[aaronisstellar]

@NickBHawkinsonVideos thanks i just hate when these honda fanboys visit all these kia forte videos talking about how shitty a kia is compared to their "cool" honda's it's like they have something to prove to themselves, the forte koup is a damn good car with a price/warranty you can't beat.

[NickBHawkinsonVideos]

@aaronisstellar thanks man thats pretty cool of you... Honda fanboys are honda fanboys you know... Kia is going take over we all know it...

[alexlugovoy]

@aaronisstellar so not true)) I would say it's pretty good car and for that price and options you get, it may be even better value than my 2008 si. When you buying Honda or Toyota (scion) you paying more money just for the brand. And it doesn't mean that Honda or Toyota is better, but they have better/more history and it makes a difference. I like this KIA, but I would better go for manual transmission. I would wait for couple more years and if I'll see that koupe is reliable I may get one.

[ray2971]

@NickBHawkinsonVideos How much does it cost to test drive that car???

[kompleti]

prefer the civic si coupe for live 2.0 i vtec kia copy lots of honda civic in front. the upcoming 2012 civic beat this easy the 2006-2011 civic also beat this. this 2.4 is weak

[helorm341]

@kompleti current gen honda civics are boring as hell. maybe the 2012 will beat this but how can you know? There aren't even any real pictures of it out yet

[kompleti]

@helorm341 if the current civic beat this the next gen is sure. the civic coupe is more stylish than this kia has copy lot's from honda front end but the real thing is hondaa special the si trim 2.0 i-vtec doch eat this trash slow 2.4 and get the same gas milage

[helorm341]

@kompleti ivtex-dohc is ANCIENT technology compared to direct injection engines. Do you even know what vtec is? It is, no matter how you slice it, old technology compared to direct injection. Direct injection on a car in this price range is new, many car companies don't even have direct injection engines just yet. vtec/dohc engines have been in cars in this price range for over a decade.

And there is no way the civic is more stylish, it's a 7-8 year old design for crying out loud!

[kompleti]

@helorm341 WATEVER I LIKE THE HONDA MORE PWERFULL

[Aqrab1]

@kompleti honda is expensive

[kompleti]

nissan altima coupe 2010 beat this

[NickBHawkinsonVideos]

@kompleti FORTUNATLEY WE HAVE KIA AND NISSAN AND THE ALTIMA COUPE BEATS THIS FORTE HOW???

[kompleti]

@NickBHawkinsonVideos the 3.5 sr more power smooth rear camera the 2.5 s is also more powerfull for the same price i take the altima coupe. nissan honda toyota are more reable

[NickBHawkinsonVideos]

@kompleti THATS GREAT THE ALTIMA ISNT EVEN IN THE SAME CLASS AS THE FORTE SO IT SHOULD BEAT IT... CHECK OUT THE 2011 KIA OPTIMA IF YOUR COMPARING NISSAN TO KIA. FORTE IS IN THE CIVIC COROLLA FOCUS COBALT SENTRA CLASS SIZE IS EVEN THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCE... THE NEW OPTIMA WILL BLOW THE DOORS OFF THE ALTIMA...

[kompleti]

@NickBHawkinsonVideos i never take a kia korean car over a japanse or american or german car.the optima is only stylish but in real world is crap qualty. wait for the new camry and altima for 2012 or 2013 will eat the optima. i prefer a 2011 altima fusion malibu accord camry vw passat over an 2011 optima

[keithie13]

i have a question the rims on the 2011 are different then the ones on the 2010 (the black and silver ones) SX model are they still available on the 2011 model SX???

[NickBHawkinsonVideos]

@keithie13 SORRY THOSE RIMS ARE NOT AVAILABLE ANYMORE THEY HAVE CHANGED TO THIS NEW STYLE DONT LET THAT HOLD YOU BACK FROM GETTING ONE...

[marishortstop05]

Great video Nick..I'll come in for a test drive today! Can't wait

[NickBHawkinsonVideos]

[NickBHawkinsonVideos]

[KatiushaVN4]

[NickBHawkinsonVideos]

[pureplaya999]

This is without a doubt a very nice car, and I've been anticipating the news release of a 2011 Koup, but let's be honest here.... Is this really a 2011 Koup, or is it just a 2010 Koup with refined modifications? Because other than a few minor differences, everything else looks the same, and I can't find any press releases yet for 2011 Koup, or if it's even gonna be produced.

[NickBHawkinsonVideos]

@pureplaya999 Yes this is a 2011 koup it is the only SX that I have and it is real... Yes they didnt change much on the vehicle from 10-11 but yes this is 100% a 2011 kia forte koup. get back at me if you have any other questions or cponcerns...

[pureplaya999]

@NickBHawkinsonVideos thanks for the reply... ironically, earlier today, i saw on their website, for the first time ever that the Koup is now being presented as a 2011 model. I've been saving up to make a solid down payment on one of these bad boys. I'm sure to be getting one soon.
