2014 Kia Forte

2014 Kia Forte EX FWD Reviews: * The 2014 Kia Forteâs key strengths include its good looks, great tech and a generous warranty. Source: KBB.com * Spacious interior for both sedan and coupe; many upscale features available; strong engines on EX and SX trims; easy-to-use controls; lengthy warranty coverage. Source: Edmunds * The peppy, economical, four-door Kia Forte has been redesigned for 2014! It's larger and roomier than the previous generation of Fortes, and boasts a new, sportier exterior. As with all Kia models, the 2014 Forte packs a lot of bang for your buck. The quieter engine and refined suspension mean a pleasant ride that feels like a larger, more expensive car. You can choose either the six-speed manual transmission, only available in the LX trim, or the six-speed automatic with overdrive that is standard in the EX and an option in the LX. Depending on your choice of trim, you'll enjoy fuel economy ranging from an EPA estimated 24 MPG in the city, to 37 MPG on the highway. The trunk is generously-sized, larger than most compact vehicles, meaning you can fit all your gear, from groceries to golf clubs. Standard equipment includes steering wheel mounted audio controls, electronic stability control, and heated door mirrors. For added style, consider the available Premium Package, with items such as leather seat trim, power sunroof, push button start, ventilated driver's seat and heated steering wheel. The Forte is also offered as a five-door hatchback, and the sporty two-door Forte Koup, each having its own unique specifications, capabilities, and package specifics.
