Shocker: Kia's getting serious about style.
|
Liked Most |
With the smaller engine and the automatic gearbox, the Forte didn't invite aggressive driving, but that's all the better to enjoy the spacious and well-appointed interior and airy greenhouse. The ride is relatively supple, and the car welcomes simply sliding it into drive and cruising.

The Forte's sheetmetal duds, penned at the Korean automaker's California design studio, are neatly pressed, featuring a version of Kia's new look front fascia with swept-back headlights. Its creased hood flows nicely into the A-pillar and there's a subtle beltline that runs from the headlights to the attractive trapezoidal taillamps.
