I wonder if anyone would pick this up, or even have aftermarket companies that would mess with it.

without a “sweet” powertrain like the genesis 2.0T, i don’t see too much of a performance orientated aftermarket future for this. that’s from a random enthusiast’s standpoint though so i dunno. ---

I really didn’t think it was too bad looking for a Kia, and it comes with some nifty gadgets. At first glance it seems like a good car for the money at least. ---

Pretty obvious theyre going after the Civic. Korean cars are pretty good from the experience Ive had with them in my family where we’ve owned 3 (one was mine and family members still own the other two). Theyve really come along way from the absolute piles of shit they were 20 years ago. ---

Apparently alot of people because Fuccillo always sells them. Theyve got some decent cars now like the SUV with a v8. Sure its a few years too late for that type of thing but its supposedly decent. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/kia-forte-coupe/248566.md?page=2)
