Meet the new 2014 Kia K3/Forte’/Cerato in Video
 I’ll shut up now…
Wayne Gerdes - CleanMPG - Sept. 21, 2012
K3 Intro … and the Full version plus a whole lot more...
Remember these to get you started? Kia's on a roll and there is no telling where this train is going to stop!
2014 Kia Forte’ Set For US Debut in LA
Actual 2014 Forte Exterior Released
The Next Generation 2014 Kia Forte
If you can translate Korean, here is all we need to know 
The Valuable K3
Early Conclusions?
You see that dash and door inserts with the waves? 4 window profile? Remote stop? Large 7 or 8” display? LED DRL’s? Korea will get the 1.6L GDI. I wonder what we will receive. Yeah baby, this is going to be “ Smokin”!

Re: Meet the new 2014 Kia K3/Forte’/Cerato in Video
I found new respect for the Koreans when I saw "The Host". The Korean people, anyway. I don't have experience with their cars , but I would almost buy one. I am concerned about shifter and clutch "feel" being less-than-Japanese perfect , and I've been spoiled by my Honda , Toyota , and Mazda shifters.
Now I need to go downstairs to my puter with the good speakers and watch these videos !

The shifter in my Elantra Touring is very smooth and precise, at least as nice as any I've had from Honda, Subaru and GM/Getrag. Clutch is a bit grabby, though.

I'm sure I could get accustomed to the clutch after a few days/weeks.

Re: Meet the new 2014 Kia K3/Forte’/Cerato in Video
It took me at least a couple months, and I've driven quite a few clutches. But I'm used to it now, and can enjoy being able to snap off lightning shifts without having to move my left leg violently. Now I find it annoying to go back to something with a really long-throw clutch like a Honda Fit.
