The 2010 Kia Forte Koup is a new model designed to provide an affordable option for those seeking a compact car with impressive performance.
The Forte Koup will give you good power and acceleration because of a five-speed manual transmission (an automatic is also available) and four-cylinder engine that produces 156 horsepower. With the benefits of speed-sensitive rack-and-pinion steering, MacPherson front strut suspension, and rear torsion beam suspension, you will enjoy a responsive drive with excellent handling. In addition, it manages to achieve an EPA-estimated 25 MPG city and 34 MPG highway.
On the outside of the Forte you will find a sharp look, along with features like 5-mph bumpers, dual power mirrors with integrated turn signals, and clear-lens headlights. The five-passenger cabin is equipped with comfort and convenience features like a 6-speaker audio system with an auxiliary input jack, a six-way adjustable driver seat, two 12V power outlets, and a Bluetooth hands-free link.
The Forte Koup is standard equipped with safety features meant to protect you from harm, such as seat-belt pretensioners with force limiters, the LATCH system for child seats, side-impact door beams, and a full range of airbags. Bring the new 2010 Kia Forte Koup into your life, and test drive yours today!
