2010 Kia Forte is The Car of The Month!
In the compact car market, competition is stiff, and contenders are plentiful. When thinking of a high-performance sedan with both style and value, it’s a challenge to narrow it down to just one top pick. After driving the 2010 Kia Forte, it’s clear to see that this car is a worthy, if not surprising, choice for NADAguides.com “Car of the Month” for August. Not many cars can boast a full package when it comes to design features, price, performance and fuel economy, but the Forte leaves a lasting impression with all that and more.
