Kia is a company known for making very solid, very dependable cars, but sometimes, people see Kia as a bit boring.  Well, with the 2010 Kia Forte, the company is trying to enhance its public image a bit.  The Forte will replace their fairly boring Spectra line.  It will feature a 173 horsepower engine with a six-speed manual transmission.

The Forte will have three different trim options: LX, SX, and EX, and it promises to be much more stylish than the Spectra.  The SX, which is the sporty package, comes with a 2.4 litre engine that is quite powerful.  While the Forte is a small car, it does have many features, including Bluetooth and iPod connectivity for music and a great amount of head room.  A large boot rounds out the list of reasons to buy a 2010 Kia Forte

Kia is known for making affordable cars with great warranties, and the 2010 Kia Soul is no exception.  What is different is that while the Soul is cheap, it isn’t boring.  Instead, it features a number of high tech features, including a docking station for an iPod, a Bluetooth hands-free communication system, and even an USB port if you carry your music on that instead of a player.  There’s even an option to turn on cool pulsing lights to accompany your music!

Under the bonnet is a 2-litre, four cylinder engine that can put out 140 horsepower.  It gets around 24 mpg in the city and 30 on the open road, especially when you have five people in it.  Best of all, even a fully loaded Soul won’t break the bank.  It may be cheap, but you certainly get some great features for your money.
