2-Year Forecasted Depreciation
*Depreciation for the last 12 months of the private party resale value.
Annual Depreciation is an estimation of what your vehicle's value might be over time based on an average of similar vehicles. Estimations are calculated by comparing Kelley Blue Book Private Party Values of vehicles similar to yours over time, as well as forecasts from Manheim Auction data comparing current and projected auction values against current Kelley Blue Book Private Party and Trade-In Values. This is not a guarantee of actual depreciation. Local weather conditions, market factors and driver performance will also impact your vehicle's actual depreciation.

If the 2011 Kia Forte’s sharp looks, tech-savvy suite of electronic goodies and low sticker price aren’t enough to seal the deal, its great fuel economy and 10-year/100,000 mile powertrain warranty certainly will.
While it certainly has the looks that say performance coupe/sedan/wagon, the 2011 Kia Forte’s suspension isn’t quite up to the levels set by the Mazda Mazda3, Mitsubishi Lancer or Volkswagen Jetta.
