2011 Kia Forte SX Sedan 4D Standard Features

KBB.com Review
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.
