Kia Forte...

[ilovemyhonda.]

Would you rock it?? It reminds me of the new Civics, but I actually think I'd rock one.









(Given the fact that I don't like Kia lol) Maybe it's because it reminds me of a Civic *shrugs*

[Elbow]

Why don't you like KIA? Ever owned one?

I'd take this over ANY new Honda.

Same here. Car manufacturers have come a long way in reliability over the last several years so I see no reason why not to own one. Besides, with the warranties cars like this and Hyundai offer, why the hail not? Later, QD.

[VIP Style]

man I would take a forte over a whack ass honda civic too.

I'd take this over ANY new Honda.

I have. They suck, slow, break downs, etc......

[ilovemyhonda.]

IDK, guess I don't really have a reason to not like Kia. I just go for name brand stuff so Kia is like walmart brand to me and Nike would be like Honda to me. If that makes any sense. Basically I'd pick name brand over a non-name brand. Also, you hate Honda anyway so of course you'd take this over a Honda.

[Elbow]

I hate Honda but have owned like 7? I don't hate Honda. I hate the majority of their owners. Kia has REALLY stepped their game up and are on the same level as Honda performance and reliability wise, everyone has to start somewhere. I'd take this because they ride nice, they're decently quick and handle well, and they look better than any Civic Honda has ever even considered to offer.

[ilovemyhonda.]

Okay well your always doggin Hondas/or there drivers. I agree they look very nice. Never driven one so I can't judge there speed or handling. Like I said I'd probably rock one if I could. I am a Honda/Acura lover soooo.....

[OG-Skinny]

I would rock the absolute crap outta one. Rumor in 'Bama has it that they are making a turbo version for 2012.

[csmiths]

its a knockoff of my car. lol




very similar headlights to the jdm civic

umm , ever look at any of KIA's models , theyre all nutswings off of another brand......

[j0nbunklah0m]

i'd take the civic si over it, but its not bad looking

[SPOOLIN]

2.4L with 175hp...no thanks lol.

[Elbow]

2.4L with 175hp...no thanks lol.

That's not really a bad number for a economy car.

[JITB]

That's not really a bad number for a economy car.

and doesnt take premium...lol

[ilovemyhonda.]

2.4L with 175hp...no thanks lol.

you could boost it lol

[EL42]

I've been thinkin the same thing bout the Forte. (payless civic)

[Hondatypr636]

would rock one

[VooDooXII]

I like it quite a bit. I think this is how the Civic should've looked. From what I've read, it drives really well. The only con is some grittiness in the engine at high RPM.

I'd gladly drive one every day.

[RUFFIAN]

i for one like Kia's. but lets be real, they straight stole the style design from Honda.

[00 blk G20t]

what can you say they are the new "reasonably priced car."

[Red_EJ1]

i hate kia, just because there name is kia, sounds gay, plus kia has been doing this shit for years, its all lies

[Dougk1401]

New wheels and lowered just a tad and this thing would be nice as Fawk!!!!!!

[SPOOLIN]

sigh, sadness, people gawking over a TRUE eco shitbox.

We'll see how they hold up to 10 years of abuse like the 00 SI's have.

quoted for truth

[Terror]

I love how people who currently own shit box cars and will likely... always own shit cars... make audacious statements like " id take that forte over ANY new Honda"


Thats fucking ridiculous... If someone literally.. gave them the option to walk into a honda dealer and take home any car you want... or a forte we all know what they would do.

But being that they will never have that opportunity... here they ramble the good shit.

[ilovemyhonda.]

Yeah the wheels are must go, but they are better then the steelies I am rocking on my Civic right now lol..

[86ccord]

its a fkn kia....and its the only kia i would drive.

i'd still rock the hell out of it. ive always liked this one.

[MROTH]

we have a turbo'd 2.4liter optima coming out in 2011... should be at dealerships in september.... unfortunatly no factory turbo'd forte. i will admit the forte looks a lot like the civic but still has its own personality...im dying to see one slammed on coils....

[Jecht]

Here is a quick photoshop of one slammed:


Also gave it a badgeless grille for the sake of it.

I was actually thinking about how the Forte Coupe is so similar in looks to the new civic coupe. Personally i like the looks of the Forte over the civic, but Honda's last longer at least that's what they say, and the honda has so much more aftermarket support. I'd have to rock the Si.

i drove a coupe and its alot better than the civic on the inside.. The warranty is amazing you cant deny!

[ChnkyLao]

ewww, i like how simple the civic looks, this looks like they tried to hard to make it look aggressive, seen them in person dont like them

[05IONREDLINE]

I'd rock the hell out of the SX model. I really like it.

[xxbckiexx]

they just need to change their name from Kia to something else. It's the same reason i'll never buy a hyundai. It just sounds too fuckign FOB for me.

lol KIA-Killed In Action

[SoLJames95]

Im going to the Dealership to get a NEW KIA for the Ms.s today, not shure which one yet. SHe wants a sorento.

[F8d2Blk]

Saw one the other day, and it definitely is a step up in the game. But they could of changed the look a little more. I would drive one though.

Lets compare the 2 a little more:

.............. KIA.............. HONDA
MSRP..... 17,695...........22,255
HP.......... 173..............197
TQ.......... 144..............139
MT 6spd 6spd
LSD No Yes
CurbW 2859 2895
Warr 10y/100000 3y/36000
Mileage 22/31 21/29


They both have alot of the same features I guess the biggest thing is resale value still. A HONDA will always win. So if you were going to keep the car for awhile, KIA maybe be better, for a few years Honda will win.

[ilovemyhonda.]

At this rate I'd take anything that has working a/c until mine gets fixed next month
