TrueDelta Reviews the Available Features of the 2015 Kia Forte

2015 Kia Forte Available Features: Pros
YearComment
2014 Back in the 1970s and 1980s, Honda was known for loading its cars with thoughtful accessories as standard equipment, coin holders and the like. But the company was slow to equip its cars with upscale features, for a long time limiting even leather upholstery to special editions. You still can't get leather in the Civic Si. In the Forte SX, a sunroof is part of a $1,900 Premium Package that also includes leather and a few other things. If you want nav, it's part of a $1,900 Technology Package that requires the previous. Check both boxes, and you end up with many features not even available on the Civic Si--or on many other compacts, for that matter. These include the aforementioned leather upholstery, heated front seats, a cooled driver seat, a heated steering wheel, automatic climate control, rear air vents, power-folding mirrors, a universal garage door opener, and HID headlights. Even a few years ago you couldn't get a cooled driver seat, a heated steering wheel, or power-folding mirrors on any car with a price in the mid-twenties. This is a serious load of kit, to borrow a Britishism. One thing not on either coupe: a power driver seat. One attends the four-door hatchback Forte SX. I suspect it's absent from the Koup to enable the seat to easily tip forward for access to the rear seat. A power lumbar adjuster (not available on the Honda) survived the purge, though. And the prices? see full Kia Forte review
