I read that they may be coming out with a hatch on this model so I'll hold off (hopefully) till the camry redesign to decide between the 2. Pricewise it's the forte. Better mileage and it runs like a rabbit for a 4 banger. Feels like a quick 6..And more room than a corolla-which felt cheaper than the Kia.. Only thing I didn't like about the forte was you can't get the 5 speed auto trans 'with' the sunroof unless you upgraded to the most expensive model..Obviously they're steering to the highest cost model..
From: in2dadark on 10 Nov 2009 19:48 Ok... After reading the problem posts at the alt.kia group, I'm over this. But I think they've come a loooong way. I guess in 4 or 5 years mebbe.. in2dadark wrote: > On Nov 7, 10:51 pm, in2dadark <in2dad...(a)yahoo.com> wrote: > > http://www.kia.com/#/forte/explore/?cid=sem&ppc=y > > > > I drove a 2 door koupe version of this today.

Kia does NOT have the greatest reputation among the professional auto repair crowd. A Kia is good as long as you intend to keep it only until the warranty is up, and don't mind it being in the shop a lot while the warranty is valid. My brother-in-law used to sell for a Hyundai dealership (Hyundai is to Kia what Chevrolet is to Pontiac). He said, "You get what you pay for. If you want a Toyota get a Toyota". And he said that while he was still working for the dealership. -- Tegger

Sure wish toyota would hire some designers from Cali the way Kia did. I love my toy. But sure wish they put the same ummph in the outward designs.. I don't mind the price of toyotas. I love the looks of the forte for that segment.
