2023Forte gt
By Christian on Friday, February 02, 2024
Great car quick for what it is with the 7speed and 1.6turbo the GT was do believe it should have power windows besides that has tons of tech and safety features I’ve done a 10 hour road trip seats are comfortable plus it’s a great price for heated and cooled seats beat other brands for the price - 1.0
The cheapest vehicle out there
By Hermit on Thursday, December 28, 2023
Things falling apart interior. Tail lights getting moisture along with the headlight. Seats have cheap stitching. Long road trips, seats are uncomfortable. To much road noise, so it's not insulated inside. Stereo system is beyond garbage. Manuel seat adjustment being a 2023 forte Gt-Line. The entire car is cheap just like hyundai. - 1.0
"Beyond Cheap"
By Jillian on Tuesday, December 19, 2023
Sold the car, I've never felt happier!! This car I bought new at the time and the resale value reputation is terrible. This car is not like a Honda, or Toyota where they hold there value really well. The transmission feels like a large rubber band just stretching. Gas mileage is good. Warranty is good, but the resale value is not good. I, wouldn't buy this forte at asking price. Same goes with the Kia Rio nothing but trash.
