CLOSED: Kia Forte Review & Giveaway ($25 GC for iTunes & Best Buy)

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.
