Just as Hyundai has done well with the Elantra, Kia is riding the wave of its Forte. The sedan, the coupe and hatchback (Forte5) get their fair share of attention. The LX and EX trims are powered by a 2.0L 4-cylinder, while the more robust SX draws on a 2.4L 4-cylinder. All models come with a 6-speed transmission, either manual or automatic.
