    Default KIA Forte Koup V3

    So I met up with Jonathan Davis on my birthday and he got some dope shots of the car. Thought I'd share..

    The camber and tires are the only things that kill this, in my opinion.

    usually i would agree with you, but there is just something about this car that i can't put my finger on.
    I love this car... To me, it's beautiful. Good job, man.

    Like Virginia Slims says... You've come a long way baby.


    I still remember running into you at Logan's house... Wanting to roll the fender on your Aero... Or whatever that hideous car was.

    Rear tires and camber on them kill it....looks like a hot chick with fat nasty love handles. New wheels are sexy though.

    Its the only way to fit the 18x10 in the rear. Camber + stretch. Its still my daily even with the rear like that and it handles fine. Thanks for the opinions though guys!

    What does "race car" have to do with anything? Nothing was even mentioned about a "race car."

    I don't look at it (camber/stretch) from a handling standpoint, dude. Aesthetically, to me, it just doesn't look that good. Don't get me wrong, though, I do like your car. And nice of you not to get defensive, lolol.

    Because a civic is a solid investment. To the owner of the Kia. Looks better than any other Kia that I have seen. Another good thing about your car is, you don't see the same car at every show or meet. Yes I have a civic in my sig but they don't hold any value either.

    Best Kia Forte K I've seen, as others have said the suspension set up isn't for me.

    My comments? I try to be respectful in my "negative" opinions of other people's cars. And I usually try to find a positive to counter-balance my negative. I don't just pop in and say someone's car looks like shit or something. So I really don't see how that would apply to me.

    I disagree with the Kia comments however..they have come a long way..and if you are older then you remember a day when Honda and Toyota were considered "Junk"....and then over time the developed into the companies they are today. I believe that Kia and Hyundai will follow that same route..they have done a good job over the past 5-10 years.

    I like the look of the car, although it is not for me.
    I love the shots.
    I had a new Accord. Sold it. A friend got one of the new Sonatas, I liked it, but didn't get one. Tried the Camry, wasn't for me. Bought a 2013 Optima for the wife. Car was made in GA and helps our local economy by employing US workers. Car has a 10/100K mile bumper to bumper warranty, with a 20/200K powertrain warranty. 0.9% financing on top of that. It is every bit the equal to the Accord - I had one and sold it. What's not to love?

    i dig it. it's not an incredibly sporty car stock, but hammering the shit out of it makes it pretty aggressive. i think the bagged out fitment is nice.
