Car Profiles - Kia Forte Hatchback

KIA FORTE HATCHBACK

The most expensive among the Forte siblings, the hatchback may look stylish but loses some equipment its lower brothers have. Price may be somewhat dangerous, since a Soul with a diesel engine is a hundred grand less while add more you can get a Mazda 3 or Ford Focus.

The Good: Top levels of quality, space
The Bad: Ain't that fun to drive

Price Range: P1,190,000
Our Rating: ****
