CAR And Driver have published their "test driven"review of the 2010 Kia Forte EX. 'The base 2.0-liter four-cylinder--the only engine available in LX and EX trim--is pretty much all a Forte driver needs. It's powerful, particularly at higher rpm, and the exhaust note doesn't turn sloppy as it gets allegro, music-ese for "fast." The 2.0-liter's performance essentially paces that of the uplevel SX trim's 173-hp, 2.4-liter four, as well. Zero to 60 mph in 8.8 seconds and the quarter-mile in 16.6 at 85 mph trail the nearly 100-pounds-heavier SX by only 0.2 second to 60 and match it in the latter measurement.
