        Still think the new Accent 5-door hatch is WAAAY hotter, even with its tiny back glass!





        But I've loved the Forte coupe since it came out.
        No festiva for me ATM...

            Kia is producing some rather attractive vehicles. The Optima really stands out, and it's available with a Turbo 2.0L (275hp).
            BP, Aspire brakes, stock trans.

                    I have a 2011 Forte SX. It's a really nice car. 6 speed with plenty of power. I have the charcoal gray color. I can grab some pics when the weather clears up.

                      except it isn't a "cluster f**%ed" GM/Toyota product that will run away on you.

                          Ok,I have to admit I havent seen one in person. I did see the SX in a gas station. It raised my eyebrows. Just wondering how that 2.4 will hold up?

                          Thats the exact color I saw here in WI. What other cars have you owned that are simialr? Jus wondering how it honestly compares to the Focus or Civic etc. Yes, post some pics-

                            it has a 10 year 100,000 mile powertrain warranty so I'd say it is designed to hold up.

                              And here is the newest Matrix:



                              Nope, does not match either one... other than maybe the roofline...
