2010 Kia Forte Koup

2010 Kia Forte Koup
2010 Kia Forte Koup - Kia Compact Coupe Review - Automobile Magazine
In terms of equipment, power, and poise, this coupe amounts to a serious threat to the Civic, Cobalt, and Focus.

The Forte Koup is a great little package. Like many Korean designs, the Forte's exterior styling is derivative but the Koup, more than its sedan sibling, is really crisp and attractive and should appeal to the under-25 demographic Kia has set its sights on with this new compact. I'm not a big fan of the two-tone wheels but as standard wheels go on an $18,000 car, they are distinctive, and more importantly, made of alloy, not steel, a rarity for this class.
