Hey All! Long time no see! I'm still alive!

In case you didn't all see, I managed to crack the bottom of my bumper in half last month. Good Times!

Thinking about getting rid of the tC. The Kia Forte coupe is looking quite nice.

Default Kia Forte

The Kia Forte does looks hot but but its an over-priced civic. You are paying more money for less performance. If you really want a new car payment just get the 2011 tC and you will come out better. Both cars have 6 speed transmissions, at least with the tC you get more torque. With the compression ratio the Forte has I'm surprised that you can get away with using regular 87 gas. Its 10.5:1. Any higher and you're looking at premium fuel. Just my 2 cents. Now if you get the premium Forte SX now you are comparing apples to apples against the tC. 173 HP 168 ft lbs of torque at the crank. But again look at price. You might be up over 22k after tax and tags for that where as with the tC base you can get it for maybe 4k less and still get a turbo kits and crush the Forte. Again just my two cents.

Good points. But I'd never drive the 2011 tC. I absolutely hate the redesign. I'd rather drive a Civic honestly. I don't have the money to trade in right now, anyway.

If you really feel like spending money you could get your hands on one of those Fiesta rally cars!
