New Kia Forte Koup 2010

[Athrunwong]

I still prefer German cars though.....

[JBodine67]

wheres the audio?????

[dhruvilshah30]

that car is 10 times better than civic si. for this price

[DukeAdonis]

All the 2010-2011 Kia vehicles are gorgeous... And with the coming up of its two hugh limo-berline-sedan cars, Optima & Cadenza Kia is aiming at a very promising and high class future in less than 2 years. The prices have already doubled in some countries. After Hyundai, Kia is stepping up and with the help of various people from various countries they are really making a change.

[LegendaryLvl1]

MMmmmm~~ love this car. Good deal for the price range + it looks awesome. Kia have REALLY stepped up!! :D good on you fellas/

[supercooled]

So is this the US/NA model? I noticed they have a different A/C button whereas the one I've seen is more to the side rather than centre of the stack. Also I didn't know this had push start because again, I thought the NA trims didn't have proximity key/fob having not seen any mention of it or a button on the door handle.

I wonder what changes will come for 2011/2012? Turbo and better interior?

[alagy]

what is the difference between Cerato & Forte ???

[aqa722]

@alagy Same car. Different (nick)names.

[mikecaunca]

@alagy same thing. in america its forte. but some other countries call it cerato.

[WIGTRON5000]

i hope the rumors are true and this gets a turbo. hyundai has been doing a lot with turbos lately

[man0204]

i have a kia pro ceed an i love it... thanq kia for making grate cars.

[minhkhanh114]

This is Cerato , Not Forte Sorry

[Vorash2002]

Fuck german cars. Over priced pieces of shit is what they are

[dodo1702005]

it s a shitty car long live german car i always fuck all the kia on my road by my passat lol

[scenziato1980]

bruttissima!

[TheeDevilWearsPrada]

interior is fucking ugly.

[marabdl86]

Man I hate that steering wheel logo

[dagrome]

the steering wheel is so so, the rest of the car is great. although until sometime assures me that it will last me as long as a reliable toyota or honda im not buying

[KatiushaVN4]

@dagrome

Then go get yourself an old-man-looking Toyota Corolla...Get off!

[dagrome]

@KatiushaVN4 Yeah it may be boring but using the money i save from repairs I will buy a nicer car. Its a little skill called thinking things through and not just going... "oooooo its so shiney and boss i have to have it!!!!"

[ehddnrgusdnr]

this car is fucking awsome

[wweuniversewwe]

hmm i wonder why they dont make this a 4door!

[JohnnyKapz]

@wweuniversewwe: They do, there is a sedan model in EX & SX as well.

[yellowmusicfreak]

Good job Kia, I'll take one over a Civic anyday(not a fan of hype). tho the back end is pretty big n bulky, and the rear fascia/exhaust boasts it to be quicker than I'm sure it is...fav part the doors, really attractive lines...nice wheels too but they certainly copied honda which lowers the points in my book...

[mogul1265]

That car is more a honda than the new civic is.

[dickson318]

yeah they do have a 4 door version. i got mine 2 weeks (2 door koup sx). it is absolutely amazing. i previously had the volvo c30 and its sooo much better. 0-60 is very quick. i get on average 31-33 mpg. and its fun and great looking. love it!

[KatiushaVN4]

dickson318:

you mean your Volvo C30 is much better than your Kia Forte koup??

[pinoyxrs]

Can I get your 0-60 time please? 33 mpg is pretty good for 170+ hp. I like the styling but I heard the manual gearbox is very choppy compared to other Asian manufacturers, but i'd like to get an owner's point of view. :) Thx

[turbospartan]

I knew they had someone help them but i guess that is like all other manufactures. The front reminds me of a civic si and Ford focus rally over seas. Do they have a four door version?

[asatamer]

not bad...Kia is stepping up...

[vizardz8268]

@asatamer yeap i agree with that..=)

[julingy]

t would take a moron to not be able to tell the difference between this low quality and the quality of EVERYTHING else in the catagory.

there are 3 fantastic choices in this car catagory. civic, mazda 3 and VW golf AND hyundai elantra.

and if you cant afford those get a nissan versa, or ford focus (or fiesta when it comes)

this car is actually worse than the hyundai tiburon ( a crappy way to expensive 4 speed pos)

[mushufreak]

stop it, with your spaced out sentences

[SkythePerform]

I have a tibby... i wouldnt think this is worse... this is a 2.0 liter turbo. The tiburon is a 2.8 liter. You can do work to the tibby but overall it always runs like shit :/ I would say this is prolly a lot better then a tibby

[jjn4uo]

Funny that some of you guys think it looks like an Audi. But those of you that think that are very right. The actual designer of this car was formerly and Audi designer. And a lot of inspiration from Audi was put into this car. I've been doing A LOT of research on this car since I'm considering buying one. If you haven't test driven the Koup yet. I highly recomend it. The six speed manual feels great as well as the clutch and the car is quite torquey and pulls pretty good through the lower RPM's

[pcommean2]

5 Speed manual

[jjn4uo]

Kias' are fairly low budget cars. Although they are making their way up in the world as did all the other car companies. And in all actuality the consumer guide for 2010 rates kias' as being on of the most reliable vehicles on the road today.

[peachy234]

It doesn't say anywhere on the canadian or us kia website about a push start ignition! What's up? I would like to know cause I ordered one of these cars the other day.

[pcommean2]

Push start not available.

[simonsays4795]

kia made a cool car, but a kia is just terrible and will close soon.

[OscarMaris]

they're part of hyundai now and hyundai makes assloads of money. they will never close, idiot.

[simonsays4795]

um, idiot? yeah, kia nor hyndai doesnt sell shit. everybody buys toyotas and cheverlots these days and some nissan, but no kia or hyndai. idiot.

[OscarMaris]

Yes, you are an idiot. Hyundai is selling assloads of cars. Look at the actual SALES NUMBERS, don't just look at your redneck neighbors' driveways.

[simonsays4795]

redneck? really? epic fail bro. congrats. no, you see i live in a rich neighborhood not a redneck like you probably live in or a ghetto and most of the people who live in my neighborhood drive cadilac lexus toyota nissan and cheverlot, no one drives a hyndai or a kia in a radius of 100 miles from me. in fact in the state of louisiana hyndai is one of the lowest sold cars. what are you gonna say now ass clown? get your facts straight before you insult me bitch.

[OscarMaris]

I did give you a fact, which you ignored. Hyundai is one of the top 3 car sellers in the world, After VW and Toyota. I don't care if nobody around you has them, they still sell tons of cars.

[simonsays4795]

and i gave you one too. hyndai doesnt sell cars in louisiana so im saying soon there gonna get rid of kia in louisiana. okay? okay. now, get off my dick

[OscarMaris]

They do sell cars everywhere and they're not closing dealerships anywhere, retard. And it's spelled "they're" not "there" moron.

[b0utch]

you sound like one....

[tahj677]

simonsays and Oscar should fight. I wanna watch!!

[OscarMaris]

too late, he already ran away crying

[dimitri356]

kia and hyundai are maybe the only companies in the whole world tha didn't suffer from the economic crisis and never fired a single person in europe. hyundai makes also engines for boats and the past years managed huge econnomic growth.

[d0wn4y0urz]

nice car...but a kia will always be a kia.

nothing will ever change that...

[OscarMaris]

yeah, it is a Kia. Your point being?

[d0wn4y0urz]

kias have been know to be peice of shit cars, they are not hondas or toyotas.

thats my point....im not saying that this car isnt nice, because it really is. Just that Kia and Hyundai, have been known to be low budget cars.

[pcommean2]

How do you think Toyota and Honda started?

[b0utch]

@d0wn4y0urz not anymore man not anymore

[moderndesignworks]

Nice car, but they should fire the the guy who give the name to the brand!

K- Killed

I - In

A - Action

[AtlasTitanX]

This is the car I'm buying after I enlist.

[OscarMaris]

I hope you don't get your legs blown off.

[AtlasTitanX]

lol I wont.

[VraiDiouf]

Much better than a Scion tC and Honda Civic Si.

[DiscoCheese500Badger]

yes- and cheaper

[snoopythegorila]

i wouldn't say better than a Honda Civic Si but definitly cheaper. Superior maybe due to it being so much cheaper.

[kandem360]

speaker lights!!!!! it comes pre-riced!!!!

other than that, when I first saw this car in a commercial, I was like "what the hell is that??? It looks really nice!..........a KIA!!!!! WHAT!!!!????" I am having a hard time chewing the fact that I love this car because it's a Kia. Good job Hyundai. Same engine as the sonata 4banger.

[xray07067]

i just got my sx last week... never thought id drive a korean car, but if kia (hyundai) keeps putting out cars like this ill keep buying.

[GBraidi78]

I have to admit it's very nice looking car inside and out. However the front end reminds me of a Honda Civic but I could be wrong. It's pretty sexy looking though from the front and side. The back needs lil work in my opinion.

[evan6629]

I was going to buy one when I first saw one. They are nice looking cars, but in the end I got a 2004 TSX (Pre Pkg). I would buy one over a Civic.

[bug94599]

my next car

[baseballforlife8]

haaa kia came out with a new toy car BUY AMERICAN

[aznman18]

Id rather ride a bike to work everyday instead of driving an american car

[Maxwedge12000]

Understood. Most American cars are made in Canada these days. :P

[Vitaminous]

You're missing out on a number of good cars, then.

[AndrewGramm]

Колодцы на торпеде содрали с mazda3

[yelzhan123]

never buy BMW or Benz constant service visits and really big headache no quality at all. You see BMW never talks about quality and reliability b/c BMW know that they do not sell quality but sell tons of problems both electronical and mechanical Hyundai Genesis is the BEST!!!

[pinkn3ss]

RX-8 Hands down! The rotary engine is amazing! I do like the look of the genesis. They did an amazing job! I thought it was a BMW at 1st! But its just not good enough for the $350000 a friend of mind payed for the base model.

[theemceemurdah]

Beautiful car, nice work Kia!

[idiiidit]

well kia doesn't really have a signature design or w.e ... this car has some similarities with civic new tsx(back) and the lancer... the design is great, ill give them that...for now.

[naireland]

the body of civic, the tail lights of lancer, the pulled up black under body front and rear bumper or an audi the completely copied interior and gauges of A mazda and the ride height and stance of A cobalt. And yet it's still gorgeous looking

[pinkn3ss]

You listed everything good... then I seen the word cobalt... :-(

[SHADOWBOXERBAYBEE]

SOLD!

[jeffreyngtinghui]

nice car...

[palebeachbum]

Absolutely awsome looking koup. Much more aggressive and sporty looking than Civic Si, which looks like a wedge of cheese with a dashboard from the Star Trek Enterprise, circa 1987. This car is HOT!

[Hlevo9]

of cousce u can't hear cause all that noise of the 8200 rpm sound plus u just got the cop behind your back

[iynnoji]

If you can't afford a real HONDA CIVIC, then get the cheaper, lower quality car that LOOKS like a civic.

[ahyhijooooo]

but who wants a shity HONDA CIVIC Anyway,,, ??

[iynnoji]

I'm sorry, I can't hear you over my 8200rpm redline.

[ahyhijooooo]

wow now days mk powerfll mowers congrats o_O¡¡

[iynnoji]

I figured with all the money that you would be "saving" from buying a kia, after replacing multiple failed motors and broken plastics, that you could've invested the money into an education and learned how to type/speak correctly.

[ahyhijooooo]

DUDE¡¡¡¡¡¡ ( type/speak correctly) Does Really matters on The INTERNET? But Its Ok .

im Talking About a Shity Car Like The CIvic and just talk about something that has nothing to do with The Comment... And Geez ALso Who Wants A Kia .... I like MAzda,Nissan . I got A mX-6 v6 And i eat Civics,preluds,Accords For Breakfast Any Time... So your COmment ( type/speak correctly) Is Just Stupid... SOrry

[its2realj]

i own a mazda too! but i find this car attractive and good value! nice job kia! but i aint gonna trade my speed6 for this thats for sure! but if im in the scene to buy a compact! this will def be a choice! especially if im strapped on money!

[ahyhijooooo]

correct ... this is a nice car for the price ... but you r right aint gonna trade my MX-6 For that... i Love My Car but this kia car its a nice one

[ivanovic99]

hahaha lol that is completely false dude xD haha im an international student from venezuela by the way : ) greetings from miami ,, like a famous singer would say "HAY AM SORY BOOT MAHE INGLISH IS NOT VERRY GOOD" jojo

[Drendle87]

LOL, 8200 Redline means nothing, it's the tourque that counts. Congrats on your civic. Just another billion of them on the road, see'em everyday. Good car, but boring to see on the road. You see a Koup on the road and everyone goes "No thats a hot looking car!"

[Monarch816]

@Drendle87

Of course it does what kind of an idiot are you? You do understand how cars get torque correct? All car's just get torque different even a retard like you has probably heard of the "power band" A engine with 50hp revving to 500,000 RPM puts out more torque then a car with 250 hp @ 3000 RPM one simply accelerates more top end and the other low end.

[TrueNookaKing]

@Monarch816 you sir are wrong

[Monarch816]

@TrueNookaKing

you sir are obviously an idiot.

[shoumanz]

how much ?

and hell no its doesnt look like a civic

[YouKemo]

Did I see a keyless ignition? Wow, that blew me away. Even the 2010 Acura TSX V6 for almost $40K doesn't come with push button start. If this can be verified, that really distinguishes it from the competition. But it is not a standard or option on the 2010 Kia Forte sedan, so my thought is that I am seeing things. Anyone else see that?

[Iwant2slideS13]

yes you did, test drove one of these the other day and was VERY impressed... well not the koup, but the SX and i liked it

[bb6luder]

im impressed by this kia guys but well have to wait how their engines perform and last!

[bigbradford69]

looks a lot better than a civic

[nobeadm]

the back look so awesome better than an audi

[rammy912]

it looks like the mitsubishi lancer

[Techolover21]

this car is reallly nice! its major competitions are scion tc and the honda civic..

[neshtor123]

Italian lookinn car

[samuelesm]

You guys don't have eyes it doesn't look like the civic!

[DoomXexec311]

rofl

[aluzhin]

Wow it's a CiviC....LOL's

[its2realj]

maybe to the untrained eye... but it does share some of the same lines... but thats like saying a camry looks like a accord because they both have 4 wheels haha.

[Koomo0069]

what the hell it looks like the civic

[ChummyChime]

check the back, its lancer. lol

[disracenboi336]

Only 10X times better.

Honda butchered the US spec civic.

i wish we could have got JDM spec civic...

[Fargru]
