Affordable Kia Forte5 SX hatchback delivers fun, versatility - Chron.com

Now raise the other paw if you think you'll have an inordinately good time driving said bargain transportation and won't mind being seen in it. For those who put their hands down and smirked, we have two words: Forte5 SX. Kia's stylish compact... The Forte5's forte is competition and survival in the real world - like dodging Houston's treacherous potholes or crackpots doing 45 in the freeway fast lane and suddenly invading your lane. The Forte5 SX's affordable price point (the EX trim is even less expensive at $19,690 but has a 2. 0-liter engine) doesn't mean driver and occupants must endure Spartan motoring. Standard content includes Bluetooth, SiriusXM satellite radio, leather-wrapped steering wheel (including paddle-shifters on automatics), tilt-telescoping steering column, power windows, rear-camera display, LED taillights, power folding mirror,... Ours Forte5 was loaded to sunroof, thanks to the SX premium package. The $2,300 bundle includes the power tilt/slide moonroof, leather seats, 10-way power driver's seat with memory, heated front seats and outboard rear seats, ventilated driver's. Source: www.chron.com
