3 Cool Reasons to Drive the 2016 Kia Forte5

In Miami, you want the best car for both worlds. Something practical and efficient for daytime Miami driving, but cool enough to roll-up on night clubs when the sun goes down. Thankfully, * Kia dealerships in Miami * have just the car you are looking for: meet the 2016 Kia Forte5; proclaiming itself as the head-turner, bad boy, and cool-cat of the Kia lineup. Don’t let it’s compact size fool you, this little swag-machine will get the job done from the moment you start it up until you put it in park.

Here are three rad reasons to drive the 2016 Kia Forte5: it will turn heads with its slick looks, slay the ladies —or dudes— with its spirited performance, and give you all the bass-boosted drops you need with Sirius XM Satellite Radio.

Head-Turning Design

The design of the Forte5 is edgy, practical, efficient, and wears black paint like Bruce Wayne wears a suit. This little car has one heck of a head-turning design, and there are many reasons for that. To start, it’s a hatchback, which means —just like the man-bun and high-waisted jeans— it’s in style for 2016.

This kick-butt car starts with a split-grille design, the top of which is caught in a perpetual chrome smirk; because it knows it’s the tom-cat on the block. The bottom half? Blacked out and undercover, centered between two bold LED daytime running lights. The headlights are just as omniscient and slender as the Forte5’s smirk, and glare menacingly. The black paint only makes the glare stand out even more, making it look like a car you don’t want to meet at night in a back alley.

Above the headlights, the hood sweeps up onto the windshield in a provocative arch, that follows across the top of the hatch. On the sides, a rigid line decides to cut through the door handles and run back to the tail-lights, which are just as eye-popping as the headlights.

The back is as slick-looking as the front, and ties everything neatly together, putting the finishing touches on a flawlessly designed hatchback.

Spirited Performance

Don’t worry, it’s got the power under the hood to back that smirk up. The Forte5 comes equipped with a 2.0-liter Inline 4, or a Turbocharged 1.6-liter Inline 4. The 2.0-liter comes in at 173 horsepower and 154-lb.-ft. of torque, which is plenty for a hatchback this size. However, if you really want to dazzle people, snag the Turbocharged 1.6. This engine makes this cat scream instead of purr, and puts out 201 horsepower and 195 lb.-ft. of torque.

Grab the 6-speed manual transmission in the SX trim. You’ll thank me later; after your done pounding the clutch and harnessing 201 horses, which is exactly how Batman feels when he hits the gas on his ride.

Sirius XM Satellite Radio

Need to get your blood pumping before you get to the club? The Forte5’s got you covered. With Sirius XM Satellite Radio-equipped to a six-speaker sound system, with two door-mounted tweeters, you’ll be ready to drop the bass harder than Bruce Wayne’s ride drops Joker’s goons. With Sirius XM Satellite Radio, you’ll have over 130 channels of music to choose from.

All Batman, cat, and swag jokes aside, the 2016 Forte5 is the perfect car for Miami life. It’s got everything you could want: head-turning looks, great performance, and awesome tunes – ensuring that even if you’re just cruising to the grocery store, you’re going to have a good time.
