Like their Hyundai partners, Kia has the competition looking over their shoulders with good products at great prices.

Not quite the standout Kia would like it to be, the Forte is nonetheless leaps and bounds above its pedestrian predecessor and offers 95 percent of the refinement of the class leaders at 75 percent of the price.
