Kia has made some real waves in the US, thanks in large part to introduction of really stylish and high quality vehicles.
While the Korean car company is doing well across the entire country, we thought it might be a nice idea to continue the Saturday’s Kia owner interview series.
Today, we are hosting a Georgia Kia owner. That would be Steven Massey from Cartersville, GA., who is currently the proud owner of a 2012 Forte Koup.
Steven is a busy man and needs a dependable car to get him to and from the pair of jobs that he has, as well as to school and back, as he is also a full-time student.
Steven decided to go with the Kia Forte Koup a little over a year ago, and so far has been very happy with the purchase decision he made.
Kia struggled for a while to improve its brand, which may be why some of Stevens friends were less than complimentary about his choice of auto. He does say, though, they once they see it, they all comment about how great it looks.
While the car already looks great on its own, Steven had made some additions to give it more of a personal feel that better suits his sporty style.
Steven complimented the unique blue color of his 2012 Kia Forte Koup with white alloy wheels, whilst also adding new HID headlights, K badges, Rockford fosgate tweeters, and more.
Read on to hear more about Steven and his 2012 Kia Forte Koup.

I bought this car to daily to work and school and fix up my other car that I wrecked. They are both projects now. Lol mainly got this because of the warranty though.
