Since driving the Kia didn’t jive with me, I had my other half drive me to the gas station to fill it up. Her comments were that the brake and gas pedals were very touchy, but she found the seats were okay and didn’t feel what I was talking about — although she was wearing her winter jacket.
We averaged 9.3L/100km for this short week behind the wheel of the Kia Forte sedan; a little on the high side for a 2.0-litre engine but not overly so compared to other vehicles with similar-sized engines that I have driven. To be fair to the Kia, I didn’t put many kilometers on it this week, which makes the potential for error high in my fuel consumption calculations. The 2.4-litre Toyota Corolla XRS I had two weeks ago averaged 8.0L/100km, for comparison’s sake.
