Joe Myers Kia is moved to be the premier supplier for the Kia Forte in Texas. Joe Myers Kia is a Houston Kia dealership and carries a full inventory of New Kia Forte and top quality, high value used Kia Fortes and other cars & trucks.
When buyers compare the Kia Forte to other makes like
the Honda Civic, Mazda3, Ford Focus, and Toyota Corolla, the 2012 Kia
Forte shines as the most fun-to-drive. Starting with the 2011 Kia Forte,
owners found this affordable sedan's crisp handling and lively
acceleration to be reason enough to choose.
The 2010 model year Forte was unveiled at the 2009 New York Motor Show as a replacement for the Kia Spectra. As a variation of Kia's Cee'd model, the Forte was Kia's top-selling car in the United States, selling more than 300,000 units in the first year after its launch. A Kia Forte Koup model and a Forte Hatchback were released in conjunction with the sedan. Kia's new Forte featured a 2.0 liter DOHC 4-cylinder engine or a 2.4 liter inline 4-cylinder engine and the car quickly became a Kia Forte review favorite for its ample cargo space, affordable price and strong list of standard features. The Forte appealed to a younger portion of the driving population in part due to its incredible low price, but also for Kia's innovative design vision. Thanks to stewardship by a former Audi designer, the Forte wore crisp, tasteful lines that helped it get noticed in a segment that seldom draws attention. Joe Myers Kia has a large inventory of new and used Kia Forte cars for Houston area drivers; stop in and test drive one today!
The Kia Forte sedan comes in 3 Trim Levels for
2011: the LX, EX, and SX. The Kia Forte Koup and Forte Hatchback are
