2010 Kia Forte Koup User Reviews

Pros

I get lots of looks!!

Cons

a little rough on uneven pavement

Purchased As New

I LOVE MY NEW CAR!!! This is my 3rd Kia and I had a really bad experience with my last one and vowed never to own another Kia ever again. I went into a Kia dealership to get an oil change and just went over to look at the new Forte Koup and fell in love with it! I drove both manual and automatic. Both pick up very fast, I ended up getting the red automatic (they couldn't find a red manual close by). It is a little rough on bumpy roads but it's very smooth when getting onto the highway. The handsfree option that comes with the car is great, but some people say they can't hear me clear. The ipod adapter is a life saver!! Overall it's a great car, Kia is really doing a great job with this car!...read morehide

Pros

Great price for everything you get!

Cons

Haven't found any yet

Purchased As New

I just bought this car with 5 miles on it and have an automatic. I have no complaints yet, and hopefully won't. This is a very nice looking car with so many standard features. I never thought I would own a Kia, but I would have been stupid not to have. There was only one of these on the car lot when I found mine, and I feel very fortunate. On top of everything else I like about the car, I love the fact that it has such an excellent warranty on it. I definitely recommend this vehicle. I've only had it for 3 days now, but its awesome!...read morehide

Pros

Sporty, Speedy, Sexy, Sleak, Loads of standard features keep my in love daily

Cons

Starting sometimes takes 2 times, miss my manual transmission

Purchased As New

I bought this car the day after the Kia Dealership got it with 50 miles on it and 2 other customers lined up to look at it after myself. I wanted a manual transmission but they only had the automatic and i traded in my Honda Civic in and have no regrets. I had originally wanted to get a Honda Accord because i had a Civic and the new Accords are sleak looking, but once i laid eyes on the Koupe i was HOOKED. I haev a huge amount of pride and ownership in this car knowing not too many people may have the Koupe but i do and everyone loves the way it looks inside and out. The leather and seat warmers give the whole experience a luxurious feel and the sports shift is fun (but you get less gas milage with it). The Sirius radio is addictive and a new must for me. I had a system in my old car but with the power bass option in the radio you wont need much tweaking. I absolutely love my new Kia and brag about it to my friends and family and they are jealous with anticipation to see it when i come home....read morehide

Pros

Standard Horespower & Features, Price, MPG, Warranty, Music Interface, Standard Satellite Radio

Cons

Telephone Interface Sound Quality, Handling on Rough Surfaces, Flimsy Fuel Door and Trunk Deck

Purchased As New

Good overall value so far! I have had the car 2 weeks and already have 1800 miles on it with no issues and only praise. Road feel is pronounced on secondary roads, but smooth on the highway at higher speeds. I've found handling can be sloppy in curves if you hit a bump. The cell phone interface is useless unless you're stopped and the engine is off. I've tried it with 2 different phones now and no one can hear me on the other end while I'm driving.

Loads of standard features set this above the competition (Honda Civic EX) and for a lower price. Resale is always an issue with KIa, but hopefully this will be a keeper.

We'll see how she holds up, as the Korean automakers have made great strides in quality, but are still a few years behind Honda and Toyota....read morehide

Pros

fuel economy, price, features

Cons

touchy throttle makes the manual a bit more of a challenge

Purchased As New

i bought the car two weeks ago and so far ive recived fuel economy averages in the high 20's even with getting into it a little. the car turns heads and gets questions like "thats a kia?!" wonderful little car with tons of space for 4, with 5 peole fitting well for short rides. features work with little fret and the little extras like red glowing speakers and red stitching gives it a hip look without screaming tuner. as for performance its not quite as quick as some, but for thousands less and considerably better fuel economy (using regular) its a perfect daily driver that can take a back road with ease. the only issue that i have had so far is with the throttle. it is very sensitive causing the manual to be a little tricky, but after two weeks ive gotten it down pretty much pat. so if youre in the market for a small sporty car swing by the kia dealer and give it a look because it has "The Power to Surprise."...read morehide
