Used 2010 Kia Forte Koup SX 2dr Coupe (2.4L 4cyl 6M) Consumer Reviews
Great Value
Great car for the money. For under $20,000 you can get a LOT of options. Materials could be better, but I remind myself how much I paid. This car reminds me of my 2003 Honda Accord Coupe. My only complaint really is that after driving for over a week I still get frustrated with 1st gear. Ive been driving manuals for over 20 years and I think this one is really touchy. Besides that if you want a lot of car but dont want to spend a lot, the Forte Koup may be a good option.
Worth the wait
I first saw the Koup in online reviews from the 2008 New York Auto Show. I was really impressed with the body lines, and intrigued by the 2.0 with Turbo. When the Genesis Coupe came out with the Turbo, I was certain the Koup wouldn't be far behind - alas it was not to be. I do have to say, however, that the 2.4 with the 6 speed manual has plenty of pep and is fun to drive - once you're used to first gear! After driving an 05 Spectra5 for 111,000 miles, I was certain that another Kia purchase would be a wise one. My milage is a little less than the Spectra - but the engine is larger... After over 2000 miles, I am not disappointed!

I think Kia has a winner!
Picked this car up just over two weeks ago and I love it. I almost got a VW and decided for the money and other factors the KIA was the best value. So far so good, no dissapointments except for one thing. When idling, fully warmed up, i'm noticing a rattling. Looked at exhaust system and what not and seems solid. Sounds more like something in the engine compartment. Not a big deal, thats what warranties are for : ) It's handling is awesome, accelaration is pretty good, a turbo would do this car wonders. Definitely needs a better sound system though, kinda dissapointed in it. The little red lights are also a little cheesey but I like them sometimes (everyone feels the same)Gas is ok.
Pretty reliable
Bought it in 2016, it had been rebuilt. It’s done pretty good for the last four years. Paid $4000 for it. It’s had a few problems like there was a hole in the coolant compartment, had to replace battery, etc. But overall it’s been quite reliable and lasted a decent amount of time. Was at 145,000km when I bought it, now it’s at 203,000km. It’s finally broken down though. Something wrong with the engine mechanic said, he didn’t really know what though (still charged me $200...) and the engine light is flashing. But honestly for the amount of km I got out of it, I’m not really upset. Also keep it Mind it was rebuilt.
