Phuakangtao Neutral Newbie May 21, 2012 Author Share May 21, 2012 It's a nice looking car, for sure, and how else to find a nice 2-door coupe for that price?? I'd buy it for sure, if not for the fact that I have a family to ferry around and thus cannot afford to be impractical. Performance-wise, of course it cannot be mistaken for a "real" sports car, but then, do you really need such performance in singapore? I always feel that getting turbo-charged car is already quite a waste of money, if majority of the time is spent driving here. You can't really exploit the car's full capability on our roads. Of course, if the owner simply has money to throw, that's another matter... All that matters for a car is that it gets you from A to B without consuming too much fuel - and looking good is a bonus! I think the Koup fulfills all that. Looking good and pretending to be something is quite diff ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maldini03 1st Gear May 21, 2012 Share May 21, 2012 (edited) Are you guys getting too paranoid? It is just a nice design car from KIA with low performance. If it is cheaper enough I would'nt mind driving one. What wrong with all this bashing? EGO too big> Dun want to be found driving a imposter car? Edit: I dun drive one btw Edited May 21, 2012 by Maldini03 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaiKia-Lee 1st Gear May 21, 2012 Share May 21, 2012 I drive a Kia Koup. To me, it is a supercar. It looks like a super car and I drive it like a super car. Losers who have no money to buy car better dont envy my Kia Koup supercar. At best I can lend you some money to buy a BMX super bicycle for you to cycle to and fro school Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sp4wn Turbocharged May 21, 2012 Share May 21, 2012 i think its actually a pretty decent looking car. @paikia-lee ... if you can appreciate what you're driving and you drive it as you say you do, then it sounds like you made a good choice the only ugly coupe that really exists is the old mercedes c180 couple .. looked like a hunchback ... i always cringe when i see it (no offense if anyone here has one ... i'm sorry - i just cant appreciate it) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kar_lover Supercharged May 21, 2012 Share May 21, 2012 (edited) I'm not talkig about the branding rather the beliefs of the drivers of forte... When they get behind the wheel do they believe that their car is a sports car? Whether the driver is educated enough about the technical abilities of his/her/his-her car is beside the point.. But the subjective mental believe I can't speak for other owners but for me its obviously a normal 1.6L car. Anyone who thinks its a sports car is either on drugs or doesn't understand what a sportscar is. I bought cos it looks nice. Having said that, it does handle better than other "average" 1.6L cars. Anyway I not able to choose any of the options u provided. Edited May 21, 2012 by Kar_lover Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
