5. Kia Forte 5 SX

The Kia Forte 5 SX is a sporty hatchback that comes equipped with a 201 horsepower, turbocharged engine. Other features include a six-speed automatic transmission, 18-inch wheels, Kia’s new UVO eServices telematics with rearview camera, and even power folding mirrors. The little 1.6-liter turbocharged I-4 is willing, with plenty of power, and the six-speed automatic transmission is quick to downshift on throttle command. The Forte 5 SX has a comfortable ride, although the suspension isn’t tuned like a sports car, so there is a bit of body roll around sharp corners or when being driven hard. The Forte5 SX can run the quarter-mile in 15.3 seconds and goes from zero to sixty in 6.9 seconds. While not as powerful as other sports cars in it’s class, the Forte5 SX makes up for it with strong fuel economy, interior space, value, and an impressive list of available features
