Kia Forte Koup

Compact Coupe

 

2010 Kia Forte Koup

In its first year on the market the Forte Koup earned Kia its first Best Value in America award from Vincentric. Helped by its low fuel costs, the sporty Forte Koup was able to outperform not only the runner-up Honda Civic coupe in the 2010 Vincentric analysis, but it also showed better value than the Nissan Altima, Ford Focus, and Chevrolet Cobalt.
