Love love love that color. My fave on the Forte. Also love the coffee leather. They both make the car look so much more upscale. I'd buy this car over a dustbuster inspired Civic any day.

I think the current Forte currently has a 5 or 6-speed auto now.

@xxdomeafvrndiexx Peter Schreyer (born 1953) is an automobile designer, widely known for his design contributions to the Audi TT[1][2][3] and as the Chief Design Officer at Kia Motors (2006).[4]

In 2006 Car Design News called the Audi TT one of "the most influential automotive design in recent time.

He designed the Kia Forte, you are still getting a "German Designed Car".

@realdeal987 ...And at the '"end of the day" the Honda Civic,(except for the SI)..is still a boringly slow, predictable tin can perfect for high school girls and little old ladies. The same goes for the Toyota Corrolla. Give me a break.....resale value is only good if you plan selling your car every 4 or 5 years.....some folks keep thier cars for much longer.

I am I guy that loves and drives only German Vehicles. But I have to say, for the price and today's Economy, I WOULD BUY THIS CAR. Love the feel. Love the look. Love the Price. It's not a German Vehicle, but it sure does mock it better than it's competition. Good Job, Kia.

I read other reviews that the Forte doesn't get the posted mileage, and it's actually uses 20% more gas, anyone has this experience ?

I'm glad I got the EX, the chrome interior on the SX really turns me off. I'm fine with the 2.0. and I don't like shiny shit in my driving space. After test driving the SX, the 2.4 is nice, but I'm more worried about fuel economy then acceleration, and I really, REALLY don't like distracting, shiny garbage staring at me every moment I'm in the car.

Get the EX, and spend your money on the fuel package, which gets you the 5 speed, and a sunroof.

Hi, Please help!! Stop at 0:37 to 0:45 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.!!!!:))

My 2010 Kia Forte Ex a.k.a the Maxter looks like three cars all wrapped in one. The front most notabally looks exactly like a Honda Civic. The side like a Chevy Cruze and the rear looks exactly identical to the Audi Quattro sports coupe. I always was a Dodge fan and still have passion for the brand but for reliability, fuel milage, and price I just had to get a Kia Forte. Not bad view from any angle cus it is one hell of a stylish car especially when I have black tinted windows. Now go get one!

he said "penetrating" and "concoction" ROFL :-D

sorry, I just watched an episode of Family Guy and couldn't help myself *SMH
