Good economical vehicle for daily driving. The vehicle has basic needs for modern day driving. Good basic manufacturer model warranty and dependable usage.

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
