Kia Forte Koup
Believe it or not I do believe Kia (owned by Hyundai) has actually did a good job with the little coupe. The ride isnt as harsh as the Civic coupe and I do like the look of it including the materials used. The look of it is very similar to the Honda Civic, but the flat top roof I like. This is all IMO but this is an overall refreshing look at Kia.
Yes... this is a Kia and will always be considered a POS, but I think the quality of these makes are really improving. I took one for a drive and was pretty impressed. Solid ride, quiet and comparable fuel economy, fit and finish is great and the materials on the interior are no longer cheap and fake feeling. Everything has that almost "Toyota close" sound.
It passes for me, since I guess I'm not a hardcore tuner type guy. It would do the job for me and priced at 14-18k with many "selling point options" as they do push that stuff. I do like, but I'd still like a Civic.
