    I have my 2023 Forte for 7 months now and I'm really enjoying it. As stated in this video great gas mileage and a pleasure to drive. At 69 years old it took me a while learning all the technology and safety features but I've got it all down pat now. Enough power for my wife and I. Never in any hurry no matter where we're going. My one wish would be a push start. Getting used to using a key again is rough. Great car though!

    I got this in Fire Orange. Mine came with the extra technology package which gives me more features like blind spot warning and makes me love it even more.

      @@mariavictoriarh I've had mine for about 6 months. Overall I like it. A lot of "bang for your buck" as far as features go. The automatic braking has already saved my ass once from some idiot that couldn't wait while I was backing out of a parking space in a shopping center. My complaints so far would be that the steering is a bit slow to respond / has a bit of "play" leading me to understeering on turns sometimes and when it rains the backup camera quickly becomes useless due to water droplets. Personally, I find I am also a bit too tall or have too long of legs (6'3") and I wish the seat was about 2-3 inches further back. That's really the reason I think I plan to sell it in another 2-4 years since sometimes longer drives can get a little uncomfortable for me. I would've bought a Soul instead for that reason if it personally didn't look so goofy to me. Oh and no spare tire. Buying a spare tire was the first thing I did.

      I'd say go for it. This car suits someone older and someone younger. Mine is Royal Blue and I get compliments on it quite often. Good gas mileage, drives well and enough kick to it to be considered fun to drive (at least for me!) Good luck!

    I think it’s a good car overall for $22,000. It does need a steering lock. I bought a 23’ Forte for my 16 yr old daughter.

      I agree! I got my Forte in April 23 and as I learned about the features and was shocked at how loud the horn is when locking the car with the FOB. Mine locks silently with one press. The horn sounds with a double press. I only double press when in a parking lot.
