The world has never seen anything quite like this. A unique combination of class-leading standard horsepower, fuel efficiency and advanced standard features. The Kia Forte Koup. The first of its kind.
Update: This giveaway is closed. Find out who won this giveaway here.
Back when my 6 year old was born, my husband and I wanted to purchase a new family vehicle. We ended up purchasing a Kia Sedona, since it was a good value and it had a great warranty.
Now, Kia has released a fun, new, sporty car for 2010 called the Kia Forte Koup. It is the:
- Only coupe in its class to offer MP3/USB port standard on all trim levels
- Only coupe in its class to offer Bluetooth connectivity standard on all trim levels
I wish my Sedona had an MP3 port. I currently use an FM transmitter to listen to my iPod, and I keep having to adjust the station as I drive around town 
.
Some of the other features that I think are great (besides the MP3 port and the great styling) include:
- Fuel Efficiency Monitor for the automatic transmission package – I would love to be able to see how various changes that I make to my driving affect the fuel efficiency (like slowing down, slow starts, etc).
- Full-length side-curtain airbags
- 10 year/100,000 mile powertrain warranty, as well as a 5 year/60,000 mile limited basic warranty.

The full-length side-curtain airbags appeal to me because I do a lot of driving. Getting added protection like that is like getting extra insurance. I am planning buying a car next spring and am considering the Forte. Your web site gave me an opportunity to look at it again. Thanks!

I just subscribed to your daily newsletter…I am not savvy on RSS feeds yet! I’m new to the whole arena. The 60/40 rear fold down seats on the Kia Forte would be great for our family. I’m also interested in the all around air bag set up they have. Maybe I’ll take a test drive!
