Hi, Greetings from North Dakota, i recently bought a brand new Black Kia Forte SX 2.4L 6 speed from the dealer downtown, traded a 2006 focus automatic in on it.

Welcome!
And good idea getting rid of that Focus

HI... made you get rid of the focus, was it the tranny?

 

[SteveG1988]

The focus had 125,900 on the clock, i bought it with 94,000 in 2008 (it was a 06) and it was just about to start to suck my wallet dry...again. i had to put a transmission in it and it started to slowly leak again. I will miss that car, it was fun but the forte is more fun due to how stiff the suspension is in comparison, despite not having a Multi Link IRS like the focus.

P.S. I am in Grand Forks ND

Nice car welcome to the kia nation

Thank you My Forte Koup, I like my Black On Black SX Sedan, only thing it is missing is the Kia Acessories gear knob which i think would look a good bit nicer. quick question, are metal pedals standard on the SX?

 

[my forte koup]

Yes they are i think but i think they are a accessory from kia !

I am only the 2nd person in my family to own a korean car, uncle traded a taurus in on a Rondo for the family car. Everyone else owns fords, or ford built products (nissan quest)
