If you want personality without all the hamsters, the sporty Kia Forte is worth some serious consideration. AutoTrader took a good, hard look at the thoroughly redesigned Forte, and they have their eye on the step-up EX trim -- and we don’t blame them.
The EX is powered by a responsive 2.0-liter four-cylinder which knocks out 173 horsepower via a six-speed automatic in the sedan and hatchback models. Go with the coupe body style and manual is also an option. Depending on which combination you choose, the EX gets an impressive 33-plus mpg highway.
The Forte EX's sporty handling and styling is only one-upped by its available amenities like HID headlights, heated front seats, UVO infotainment system, leather upholstery and sunroof.
