Good value, feels a little cheap but it’s totally understandable since it is the base model. Feels great also for tall people, enough leg room even in the back. Trunk is spacious.

I compared this car to the Toyota corrola and landed on the forte because I think it provides more features and value, including the 100k mile warranty.
