    I was driving to work one sunny day when this stunning baby just quietly zipped by me and all I could say was - Whoa!~~~~ and my heart could'nt stop but



    ... and it has a hybrid sister too - along with her hot and super ***y friends.!


    Need I say more??? now for the hard part... where the heck, can I get the money to buy one of these really hot and fast babies??? ... ahem!... I'm talking about "the car" of course ladies and gents.

    It IS already available in Kia dealerships. Yes, indeed it is really stylish. It's price however is not that great for its features and its badge, probably. 1.3M.

    I dunno, it's pretty addicting to look at. those folks at KIA might have been researching how to induce dopamine CNS synthesis
    Damn, son! Where'd you find this?

    I agree that the Kia Forte looks great but... at which market segment is the Kia Forte supposed to compete in?

    It's too expensive to match the likes of the Lancer EX, Civic 2.0L, Focus TDCi, Subaru Impreza. And the price is too close to other bigger/better options like Honda CRV and Toyota Camry.

    yup.. i like the forte. but if i have 1.3M to burn, no way im getting this over a ford focus tdci, lancer ex, subaru impreza or a genesis coupe.

    just like the soul, a good car but a hard sell because of Columbia's greed. Like I always say, if HARI can sell Hyundais with competitive prices, why can't Columbia do it with Kia?

    Hello forte thread... Newbie here. Just acquired my racing red Kia koup forte. Really such a nice car. Pity though that there are so few owners here in the PH.

    Mahal daw kasi ang presyo sa atin kaya limitado lang ang meron ng forte....pero sa ibat ibang panig ng mundo, marami na meron nyan...

    Hello desert fox. Matagal na along nagbabasa sa thred na to since I was trying to get reviews for the koup. Sayang Lang talaga. Kia is just so expensive here.

    From what I remember, middle east location mo right? At least Maraming forte owners dyan. More people to exchange ideas with.

    Bro,

    Ano yung tip mo with regards to the stop/start button? Actually yun yung kinakatakutan ko since if bumigay ito, wala ng way to start the car.

    I tried visiting the other Sites as well. In fact, nakita ko din ata name mo in one of those. However, mukhang sa States mas madami nagkakaproblema with their fortes. Especially the 2.4SX versions.

    nagkakaproblema sa brake light sensor, minsan mahina ang contact nya(need ng adjustment) kapag nagpress ka ng brake pedal,o di kaya palyado na brake light sensor.wala namang problema sa button mismo,doon lang sa brake light sensor....

    eto tip ko at sa mga meron start stop button....

    wag tapakan ang brake pedal,
    1 pindut sa button-yellow ang lalabas na ilaw
    2nd pindut sa button-green ang ilaw(diinan ng 10sec-wag aalisin ang daliri)....

    voila!!!! start na siya....

    simple as that.

    yan din handol gamit ko desert fox sa ibang forums....

    me nabasa ako, me problema sa tranny ang 5speed AT....siguro naman nasolve na ng KIA yan, di palalampasin nila yan...

    Happy driving with your Forte...

    14months, sira na yung wiperblade ko sa passenger side...

    mahinang klase o dahil sobra naman kasi ang init dito...?

    palitan ko na din pati sav driverside.

    i went to kia libis yesterday to check out the soul. i saw a red 4-dr forte. the price is 1.3M pero may discount daw na 200k. Still expensive, though. Talaga bang yung 4-spd matic eh nagiging 5-spd when i manual mode? That's according sa ahente. Sana may variant na 1.6L then priced around 800-900k.
