A review of the Kia Forte 1.6 has been posted over at Paultan.org. 'Clean it may be, but the Forte is anything but plain. The front wears a distinctve "mask-like" design that reminds us of the European Honda Civic hatchback, while the scuplted bonnet and the signature crease that sprouts from beneath the A-pillar to form the shoulder line is neat. This, and the spoiler style boot edge distracts from the fact that the Forte has tall sides and a high rump. Of course, for the full effect, you've got to opt for the 1.6 SX, which comes with cool 17-inch wheels and low profile rubber. Still, this Kia is the looker of the C-segment - something unthinkable few years ago. Try as we may, photos don't do it justice, so get down to a dealership and have a good look for yourself.'
