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.

I really like the fuel efficiency monitor to make me more aware of my gas usage and mpg! Great feature!
We both drive KIA’s and Looooove them! I have an Optima and hubby a Sportage. We came tis close to buying the Forte (but the trade they offered wasn’t what we were willing to live with). I will tell you the Forte drives like a dream!
I love the fuel efficiency monitor. I try to save money any way I can.
I like the fact that the front and passenger crash rating is 5 star.
I like that it has more legroom than similar cars in its class.

my favorite feature is the power sunroof with tilt. i miss the one in my old car.
Is it bad that my favorite feature is the way it looks? lol. Nah, I love the fuel efficiency monitor. I currently work it out on paper when I have the time and it would be pretty awesome for it to be right there all the time =)
