Used 2010 Kia Forte Sedan Consumer Reviews
Junk
It's a cheap throw away car. Driver window off track, climate control knobs sunk into housing, seat tearing, loads of wind noise, and engine started knocking and ticking really loudly with 85k miles. Dealer maintained from new, oil always changed on time. Known issue from 2.0L kia engines. Wish I hadn't done my purchase based on Edmunds reviews alone.

Great Value, Awesome braking
After finding out that Hyundai now owns Kia and the parts are nearly identical I chose the Forte over the Elantra hands down. Styling is 200% better, interior and exterior. Great back seat leg room compared to similar models. Awesome stock stereo system with ample bass. Good trunk space. Good Fuel economy, price, and Great overall value. I have 16,000 miles in a little over 6 months and I haven't had one issue. My only problem was my Verizon phone wouldnt sink to the bluetooth, a phone issue not Kia.

2010 forta
Wow this car is fun to drive. It's everything said about the car and more. We first tested the 2.0L EX 5 speed with a little better fuel mileage and like the car. We then tested the 2.4L with a 6 speed SX model loaded with options and fell in love.The transmission was a little getting used too with the gears so close and has a lot of get up and go.I would get this car in this price range over any other. We are very happy.
Buy a donkey not KIA
I have had this KIA for a year and 1/2. Been in shop more than a dozen times but still have problems with it. Even worst, in the last 1 1/2 year it lost more than $15,000 in value. Payed $19,000 for it in May 2011, it is now August 2012 and the trade in value is at $4,000. The exterior and interior are in great shape. DO NOT BUY KIA you will loose big time. You and american economy.
