Ata10 Neutral Newbie January 8, 2010 Share January 8, 2010 This is one of the best-looking cars that Kia ever built, in my humble opinion. It has a great looks, believe it or not. Just take a look at youtube and check for some reviews. As far as I know, the car comes available with a 2.4L engine and more than 170 hp. This is more than Civic Si, isn't it? Are there any bodykits for this car available already? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferraricalifornia 1st Gear January 8, 2010 Share January 8, 2010 the Kia Koup 2.4SX (A) 175bhp 6A/T is only available in the US market...people there drive really fast hence the added power... but the 2.4L engine is the same from our Sorento... what we would want though is a 1.6turbo charged 160-180bhp variant, with a 0-100kph time of around 8s...that would really boost the sales of the Koup!!

PI selling at $96,988 for the 160bhp $112K for the GTI $118k for GTi with auto park... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PI selling at $96,988 for the 160bhp $112K for the GTI $118k for GTi with auto park... i prefer Jetta, the seat are more comfortable than Golf. I am a family man mah. anyway, i do hope that Koup will have more powerful engine. cause for a 3 doors that look like a sports car. I am not able to justify the reason of buying it if its performance sucks. Reason being, it got all the disadvantage of a Sports car but not the main advantage which is power. but hat is just me.

Jolie888 Clutched January 9, 2010 Share January 9, 2010 Saw a lime green KIA forte koupe zipping through AYE this morning, as if it is a big-bang sports car. My advice is, pls slow down and drive carefully. Your specs are not that terrific and if you keep driving this way, very soon you will be "taken on" by the big boys on the road. P/S: Side note, just saw the KIA forte koup advert today - $59,999 .... quite affordable siah ... even lower-priced than the past pseudo-sports car - Tuscani. No need for the big boys ... A $47,888 Mitsubishi Lancer GLX M/T (family car) can overtake the Koup. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current Mitsubishi Lancer MR AT can also over take the Koup if factory spec did not lie. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucaswh 1st Gear January 9, 2010 Share January 9, 2010 aiyah c'mon take it as a normal forte la...overtake here overtake there..pple in SG buy car not solely on how fast it can move in a straight line.

Altis, Lancer, Koup...which one would u want to be seen in in front of a club? Lambo... but of couse out of the 3, i will rather be seen in a Altis or lancer but Not Koup. Cause its just a sports car wannabe. at least until they bring in stronger engine that can classify it as a sports car then will i want to be seen in a koup.

Oh BTW Koup is still not consider a Sports car yet. A sports car look alike yes. Edited January 9, 2010 by Joseph22 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Octopus 3rd Gear January 9, 2010 Share January 9, 2010 No need for the big boys ... A $47,888 Mitsubishi Lancer GLX M/T (family car) can overtake the Koup. Just realise something... The 2.0 Kia Koup auto takes 10.5 sec to reach 100km/hr. The 1.6 Nissan Sunny manual takes 10.2 sec to reach 100km/hr. Beware of "uncle" driving a manual sunny.
