2010 Kia Forte Koup

**rmsdesign08** · December 1st, 2010 02:39 PM

Guys what would you choose Kia Forte Koup or Hyundai Genesis Coupe? Nahirapan me pumili. Ganda ng Genesis Coupe pero sobrang common na dito sa pinas. Macho naman tignan yung forte koup pero kulang naman sa power. Medyo magkalapit na din yung price nila although premium na yung sa kia and for genesis coupe naman pang entry level lang kung base sa price. na 1.3 to 1.4m

If you want performance & sports car feel, get the Hyundai Genesis Coupe 2.0T MT.

The Kia Forte Coupe 2.0 A/T is overpriced at P1.42M with only a non-turbo 2.0L engine. Although it is rated at 156hp, you can get much more from the Genesis Coupe 2.0T M/T with 210hp and a manual gearbox with the same money.

The broad angular lines of the Koup do hint at a more "muscle car" appeal than sports car and you can expect people doing a double-take when you drive by.

The only sure thing you will get with the Kia Forte Koup is the exclusiveness. It will not get many buyers at it's current selling price. That fact (not a big seller) will also be a problem a few years down the road when you will need to get spare / replacement parts for your car.

It is a big waste, if Kia manages to sell the Forte 4door sedan & Forte Koup at under P1M level, it might have been a better seller.

ewan nga kung bakit ganyan ang dealer sa atin.....sa akin nga abutin ng mga 950K included na jan ang [SIZE=4]5years insurance (incl. act of God)[/SIZE]...

5 years to pay pa yun.... EX model

paano pa kaya ang LX o base models?

ngayon nga me promo ang dealer dito, no down payment.....

Sa ibang bansa mura ang KIA pero pagdating sa atin, masyadong mahal???

Went to kia. Sabi nila they are not selling forte koup anymore. Meron na daw kasi silang nakalineup this year??? ok sana yung genesis coupe pero upon seing the features sa sonata. Medyo dissappointed ako sa entry level na genesis coupe since. di pa siya smart key. Sa 3.4 lang daw siya smart key. Okay din sana ang sonata kaya lang parang pang executive siya tipong dapat may driver ka. may nakita na ba kayo na gumagamit ng sonata here in the philippines? parang wala pa masyado. I was really hoping to get the forte koup para unique pero it seems its impossible na unless im going to buy from a direct importer kaya nga lang ang problem will be the warranty.

Pwede rin siguro na sonata na lang na manual then use the 200k to pimp up the ride. Ang isang ayaw ko lang sa sonata is yung color niya. ang konti ng choices plus pangit ng color. tapos napansin ko din na iba yung tambucho nila dito. yung mga nakastock ata yung andito kaya iba yung look ng rear sa website ng hyundai. may nakita ako na magandang setup ng sonata. magkano kaya body kit.

Ok ang Sonata,madami na dito nyan bro.....usually Saudis(walang silang driver,sila mismo nagdrive)astig ang dating parang Cadenza....

Sorry sa KIA Phil, dapat wag na sila magbenta ng Forte...di din naman bebenta dahil sa mahal.....
