I bought this car 5 days after seeing it. I was skeptical at first because of the kia reputation of being cheap, but after doing research and actually going for a test drive I was blown away by this car. it is responsive, the sport tuned suspension just hugs the turns. acceleration is great, and the gas mileage is excellent. Kia finally got it right with this one. If you are looking at this car take a look at the competition and you be surprised that they cant touch Kia's value on this one. I will say that this trim level comes with almost everything standard, I got the added sunroof, but in hindsight I should have also purchased the auto dimmer for the review. Just food for thought.
Great affordable sports car!

I can only echo the comments by Rockin RN -- I agree with everything except that I think it's a little harsh on the bumps, but that's to be expected since it's a sports car. The 2.4 engine is very responsive from the start and even after it's up to speed. The gas mileage is good so far (I've only had it for about three weeks) and I'm averaging 26 MPG combined city/highway. I've also got the Racing Red, automatic and it gets a lot of compliments. Kia did a great job with it and with their warranty it's a winner so far.
Koup for Keeps

My Koup is Racing Red with an automatic transmission and sport cloth interior. I have owned the car for 3 weeks and so far it is an exceptional car for the money. The build quality is solid with absolutely no sqeaks or rattles, doors close with a reassuring thunk, the paint looks good and the fit and finish is very good. The engine runs and idles very smooth with more than adequate acceleration. Nice sporty ride, not too harsh over bumps. I traded in my 2005 Acura TL for this car and I can honestly say that I don't regret it.
I'm in love

I traded in my 07 Corolla for the 2010 Forte SX Koup. I've had the car for 2 weeks and I still smile everytime I look at it. I got the silver exterior and the sunroof. The car handles like a dream and the acceleration is more than enough (esp when you hit it at 60 to get past a slower car). The ride is a little stiff, but as someone else said it is a sports car. I do not miss my Corolla at all nor do I regret not getting the 6cyl Mustang I was thinking about. You get more "bang for the buck" with this car and more than one person has commented on the exterior styling.
Impressed with Forte Koup

Great little coupe, lol. Handles well, drives well and has plenty of get up and go when you want it, very leisurely when cruising around the block or on the interstate. I think 0-60 times are incorrect...I hit 85mph before entering the interstate on a standard on ramp. Very nice sounding stereo, love the simplicity of the interior.
