Kia , a Korean brand we associate with the budget-of-budget motoring. Four wheels and quite reliable. Quite cute. Dirt cheap.
So there was little to complain or fuss about.
So a specially decicated article like this, sure is big news.
And it certainly hints at a certain coming of age. An Arrival at the scene.
The 2009 Kia Cerato Forte, to begin with, even for a massive naysayer like me, actually finding myself falling in love with its, says hell lot.
Obviously, to begin with, the designers at Kia must have had a huge pay rise for they have come up with, in my opinion, one of the most successful shape in years for this category.
It obviously took more than a design hint of the amazing Honda Civic and essense-of -taut , from the Lexus IS 250.
Indeed, this car has lines that are taut and angular and inoffensive to anyone, making it a design loved and raved by all. A strong stance rounds it all up.
Inside, the materials used and the mechanicals are also up several notches.
More attention to a better dash design though.
Still, a long way from what Kia used to be not too long ago.
A winner. That, we can see from the sheer numbers thronging the roads already.
Thumbs Up.
