http://www.autobytel.com/kia/forte/2012/ The 2012 Kia Forte SX 5-door hatchback is the top of the line model in the Forte line-up. The base model Forte has a starting price of $15,200 with the SX model costing $19,600. The 2012 Kia Forte SX hatchback combines good looks and a more powerful engine. Practically none of the competitors to the Kia Forte offer a 5-door hatchback body style. This gives the Forte a leg up on the competition right from the start. The 2012 Kia Forte SX is the kind of car Europeans would drive. It looks good, is practical, and has plenty of cargo room and utility thanks to the hatchback design.
The Forte SX model is more powerful than the standard base model. The base Forte LX is powered by a 2.0 liter engine that makes 156 horsepower and 156 lb-ft. of torque. The Forte SX sports a bigger 2.4 liter engine that puts out 173 horsepower and 168 lb-ft. of torque. The bump in power only results in a tiny loss of fuel economy with the Forte SX getting 23 MPG in the city and 32 MPG on the highway. The 2012 Kia Forte SX gives you the opportunity to drive an economy car but yet has the versatility and look of a European 5-door. All in all Kia did a good job with the final product that is the Forte SX.

2012 Kia Forte Car Review
http://www.autobytel.com/kia/forte/2012/ The 2012 Kia Forte is the replacement for the Kia Spectra of yesteryear. But the Forte is a big step ahead in terms of design, power, and fuel economy. The Kia Forte resides in a very competitive segment that includes the Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla, Nissan Sentra, and Volkswagen Jetta. The 2012 Kia Forte is one of the better looking cars in the small sedan class and you can see a little bit of German style in the exterior.
The base model 2012 Kia Forte costs $15,200 while the top of the line costs $19,600. There are 2 different engines available. First is a 2.0 liter 4-cylinder that produces 166 horsepower and 144 lb-ft. of torque while netting 25 MPG in the city and 34 MPG on the highway. The second engine is a 2.4 liter 4-cylinder that produces 173 horsepower and 168 lb-ft. of torque while getting 23 MPG in the city and 32 MPG on the highway through a 6-speed transmission.
The 2012 Kia Forte is something a little more unique than the rest of the compact car segment. Plus you get a 5 year 60k mile bumper to bumper warranty and a 100k mile powertrain warranty. This is one of the best warranties currently on the market today.

2012 Kia Optima Hybrid Test Drive & Car Review
http://www.autobytel.com/kia/optima-hybrid/ The Kia Optima went from being one of the ugliest cars in the automotive world to one of the best looking car companies.

2012 Kia Rio Test Drive & Car Review
http://www.autobytel.com/kia/rio/2012 The 2012 Kia Rio is certainly an entry level subcompact car. But the Rio elevates this segment. The features are top of the line, the price is excellent, and the fuel economy is amazing. For the 2012 Model year the Kia Rio comes in 2 different body styles. The regular Kia Rio is a 4-door compact car and the Kia Rio 5 is a 5-door hatchback. The 2012 Kia Rio has a base price of $13,400. Past subcompact cars were ugly econoboxes that no one really wanted to drive. Well Kia has pushed the design envelope with the new Rio which features sharp headlights and an attractive front bumper which makes the car look more expansive then it is.
The GDi gamma 1.6 liter 4-cylinder engine produces 138 horsepower and 123 lb-ft. of torque. The Rio has great fuel economy with 30 MPG in the city and 40 MPG on the highway. There are tons of features and options that come standard on the Rio but the best part is Hyundai's 100k mile powertrain warranty. The 2012 Kia Rio is a great value at this price point.

2013 Kia Forte SX 5-Door Hatchback Test Drive & Compact Car Video Review
http://www.autobytel.com/kia/forte/2013/ The Kia Forte has been around since 2009 but the 5-door hatchback trim is fairly new. This body style combines a sporty look with the utility that a hatchback affords you with the increased cargo room. The 2013 Kia Forte SX model is the top of the line trim level that comes standard with all the goodies and the larger displacement engine. On the outside the SX trim gets you larger 17-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights and a Sport-Tuned Suspension just to name a few. On the inside the SX comes standard with Sport Cloth Seats, a leather wrapped steering wheel, and medal pedals. The 2013 Kia Forte SX 5-door hatchback has a base price of $19,800.
Hatchbacks are one of the more polarizing cars for sale in America. Enthusiasts love them because they make sense after all they are very popular in Europe. But here in the U.S., not so much? The most popular hatchback in the America is the Toyota Prius which is more known as a hybrid than a hatchback. What we have here is the Kia Forte 5-door which is one of the most affordable hatchbacks at a starting price of around $18,300. The car looks good and has a very European flair to it. But Kia has fallen a little short when compared to its key hatchback competitors the Volkswagen Golf and the Mazda3.
What separates a hatchback from a sedan is pretty obvious. You have got a more practical cargo area rather than a traditional trunk. The second row seats are a 60/40 split which makes things very practical. For people who are not looking for the larger crossover should look into smaller compact hatchbacks like the Forte 5-door.
Kia has really simplified the buying matrix for the 2013 Forte hatchback. There are only 2 models: the EX and the SX. The EX has the smaller 2.0 liter engine that makes 156 horsepower and gets 26 MPG in the city and 36 MPG on the highway. The SX model has the larger more sporty 2.4 liter engine that produces 173 horsepower and 168 lb-ft. of torque while getting 23 MPG in the city and 32 MPG on the highway. Both engines are mated to a 6-speed automatic but it's the SX trim that gets steering wheel mounted paddle shifters.
Kia separates themselves from the competition by offering a great 10 year/100 mile powertrain warranty. This car just oozes practicality. It is very versatile and affordable. The fuel economy figures are also very respectable.
