Whether you pick the practical 4-door, European-feeling 5-door hatchback or the sporty 2-door Koup, the 2016 Forte offers a generous warranty, lots of features even on base models, and a decent starting price.
Looks can be deceiving, and while the 2016 Kia Forte family looks sporty, there are quicker and sharper-handling options out there for the true enthusiast. Additionally, while the base prices are good, they escalate quickly when you start adding options, making them less than a bargain than you might think.
