Kia Forte Koup - Generation 1 (2009-2014)

KIA FORTE KOUP (2009-2014)

The Korean maker's first attempt in the compact sedan category, the Forte (with a coupe version) didn't sell well due to a expensive price when it was new. The 2.0 SX came in first with a rather downgraded EX. Rather than bringing the next generation model, it was discontinued in 2014.
