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’d compare it to a Nissan Sentra which my husband has, but the one thing I like about his car that I don’t have in the forte is the automatic slowing down if a car is too close in front of you. Other than that, the car is really nice

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.
