Q: which car to buy: Kia Forte Hatchback or Hyundai Elantra Touring?
I am a recent graduate with a low budget, but want a good car that is fun to drive and have settled on these two choices: a Kia Forte Hatchback or a Hyundai Elantra Touring. There isn’t much info out there describing which is better, and even when comparing side by side, it is difficult to tell. So I was hoping for some excellent yahoo questions advice. Which car is better and why? If you can support your reasoning with sound facts, that would be the best! Thanks for your help!

A: Choose neither… why not a domestic make? but to answer your question…
Kia and Hyundai cars you mention are mechanically cousins. No real difference between the cars unless cup holders interest you. I would opt for the new design of the Forte. The engine has a timing chain on the cams as opposed to the older belt design in the Hyundai. The Forte will be much more reliable

Q: Is the Kia Forte a better car than the Hyundai Elantra?
Currently looking at a car to lease and I want to know which one is better. The Forte is less expensive, but is the quality the same?

A: The Kia Forte performed better than the Hyundai Elantra in a comparison test of an automotive magazine. It says that the Kia has better steering feel and better shaped seats.

Generally, Kias are significantly improving and the build quality may seem slightly cheap, but I reckon that they will stand the test of time.

Q: How long should i wait to buy the kia forte koup?
i like it but $16-18k for a kia is too much for me, about how many miles or years should i wait for till its about$10-12k ish i know they depreate alot after driving them off the lot.

A: a couple of years.or they might have some kind of year end sale.

Q: Can I put a trailer hitch on my Kia Forte?
It is only for a light load of kayaks.

A: There are Class I, 1-1/4 inch hitches available for Kia Fortes. They have a tongue weight capacity of 200 pounds and a maximum towing weight capacity of 2000 pounds. In addition to the capacities of the hitch, you need to check the capacities listed in the owners manual to see if your Forte is capable of pulling the trailer load you are planning on towing.

When towing anything, you should not exceed the lowest rated component of the tow set up whether that is the hitch, the vehicle, the drawbar or hitch ball.

Q: which is better, kia forte koupe or hyundai tiburon?
i have a 2010 kia forte koupe sx. its the top model you can get and it looks awesome, its copper (: my friend has an oldish (im not sure what year) hyundai tiburon in black. we were talking one day and of course he thinks his is better while i think mine is better. i just wanted to know which one really is.

A: well they are both korean…and im not too much a fan of korean automobiles. Its not really a question of better. They are both nice rides. They are both stylish (and the forte is sexy), kinda hard to say… I say the Koupe gets my vote based on apperance

In 1998, after a shake-up in the Korean auto industry caused by overambitious expansion and the Asian financial crisis, Hyundai acquired rival Kia Motors.

Q: Which is better: nissan sentra kia forte ford focus toyota corolla?
I want a car that has good gas mileage, a little ante up, and pretty spacious for a compact. Which should i choose?

A: The Ford Focus will be most reliable. All foreign cars fall short of Ford’s greatness. They simply sell the finest, highest quality, most well crafted cars in the industry.

The Japanese will break not long after you purchase them. Many of them have killed people because of their defects

If you buy the Kia, schoolchildren will throw rocks at you.

Q: Can I change the color of the writing on my Kia Forte stereo?
It is currently red but I was hoping to be able to change it to a different color

A: nope.

Q: Kia forte warranty relating car work and such?
Just bought a 2010 Kia it has a great warranty but I wan do or get some work done to it details badge it intake maybe a Turbo an exhaust what can I do and can’t do and also what can Kia for or do they offer

A: If you put a turbo on it, you can kiss your warranty goodbye. An exhaust probably won’t effect the warranty, though I doubt it would sound very good. An intake can go either way. If something like the MAF sensor went bad, your warranty claim would be denied. And if you touch the ECU, your warranty goes away as well.

Q: Is the Kia Forte expensive for repair,oil change,and ect?
Or the Kia Forte Koup

A: Asking about a car in the motorcycles section will just get you a bunch of smarta$$ answers. If you are so unaware that you don’t know where you are asking, how can you expect anyone to take you seriously?

Q: is the kia forte a good car?
I’m thinking about getting one but I want to hear from someone who owns or knows someone who owns one. Thanks in advance.

A: Yes, it is a solid compact car.
The only downside of the Forte is the resale value is horrible, but if you are going to keep it forever, then that doesn’t matter.
It’s less expensive than its competitors and it has a great warranty.

Do yourself a favor, though, and also check out the Forte’s brother, the Hyundai Elantra.
For about the same money, it is slightly more favorable per independent publications.

Q: Is the Kia Forte’s torsion beam rear suspension similar to a solid (live) rear axle, and how good is it?

A: If you think that it is going to corner like it is on rails or pull 1.0 g on the skid pad it won’t. It will do fine, for an econobox. A live rear axle is mainly on high end sports cars.

Q: Is the Kia Forte Koup a chick car?
I want one but a friend said it looked pretty girly, I don’t about his opinion, I just want others opinions.

A: i’d say it’s more of a poser car than a chick car.

Q: How much does the kia forte 2010 cost?

A: I will let you know when it comes out and they announce the price.

But it is the new version of the Kia Spectra, so expect it to cost the same as the Kia Spectra right now.
About $15,000. Or $21,000 with all options for the more powerful engine version.

Q: Is a Kia Forte a good car for a 16 yo girl?

Q: Kia Forte Koup SX or Nissan Cube for first car?
I’m looking for my first car, I want something that will be comfortable and fun to drive as well as have people in, out of the two, which is the best for a first car?

A: First car should be a hand me down from family learn how to drive a year with out accidents in a clunker. That said you could do worse, boxy new cars have interior room and most do not have high powered engines.
