My Kia Forte SX Koup
rskipk2, Loveland, OH, 05/13/2012
2012 Kia Forte Koup SX 2dr Coupe (2.4L 4cyl 6A)
This is a short review of my new Kia which I have had for several months now. I am still getting to know the car but these are my impressions so far: First off, I know the Koup will be completely changed for 2013 but I love the look and style of the one I have, light silver with black leather interior w/red stitching. About the interior: It is well built and very comfortable however some … of the materials used in the door panels are just average.The car is quick, good looking, and very easy to live with on a daily basis. Average mpg is about 23, it likes to be driven and that is what I love. There are no rattles or noises, it feels solid and is very fun to drive, especially on two lane roads.
Great for a year

2012 Kia Forte Koup SX 2dr Coupe (2.4L 4cyl 6A)
My car is cute. It handles great. It has also jerked, lurched and felt like it was going to stall, intermittently, since it was one year old. I've gone to the dealer repeatedly only to be told there is no computer code and they can't replicate the problem. I've complained to Kia corporate only to again have nothing done. My car feels like it is going to strand me in Honolulu traffic, and … I'm told I'm crazy. Meanwhile, there are forums with hundreds of other people with the same complaint.
