Beautiful design, great handling and performance.

Very comfortable ride with precise handling, good acceleration for a 4-cylinder, and excellent fuel economy. The styling on this redesign, with elements inspired by the Stinger, are striking. The legroom is very good and the trunk capacity was terrific for a car this size. I like everything about my car.

Very well built car for the money.

I am very pleased with my purchase. The Forte is very well built, surprisingly roomy for its class, very quiet down the road, super gas mileage and drives great. Interior is comfortable. This model is also quite nice looking and has very stylish wheels - not covers.

So far I?m very pleased.

This car is classy and sporty at the same time. It has plenty of room inside, the trunk is pretty big for a the cars I?ve seen this size. You must test drive it and you?ll see what I mean.

Worth every penny

I loved this car from the very first day. It is economical to buy and to maintain. The new 2019 design is super stylish. I have been driving it just about a month and have yet to find anything less than wonderful about it.

If only the test drive was longer

This car from outside to the inside is beautiful. I test drove the 2019 Forte LX that comes standard with 16" alloy wheels. The redesign from the 2018 is nice. Once inside, the seats are comfortable (the backseats were even roomy), you have an 8" touchscreen, and on the steering wheel controls. The ride was smooth and takes corners with ease. The acceleration was barely felt when you step on the gas. For the price tag and the standard features that come with the car vs other car dealers. The 2019 Forte is well worth owning. The only reason for the 4 in interior design is because of the touchscreen doesn't fold down and slide into the dash. That would have been a great feature.

Great Car!

This car is great, drove the best for the best price of all the cars I test drove, it?s comfortable and fun to drive. Very Happy with it. Almost bought another car, but after test driving back to back, it was a no brainer
