We have had this car less than a week but I love it. It's fun to drive, very smooth and quiet. We got the standard EX package with the fuel package. Gas mileage has been about 30 mpg on the first tank. We looked at every car out there and this one seemed to have it all. I highly recommend this vehicle.

Great car for the money! Loaded with standard features and has a sleek look to it unlike its predecessor. I also own a 2007 Civic and the Forte is comparable in almost all areas. The gear ratio feels awkward at times, but you get used to it. So far I am sub 30 mpg combined. I would like to see that go up. Overall, an outstanding compact sedan!

Ok, I paid $16K, without the equity from my trade, it would have been $17.5K including all taxes and fees. Now tell me another car that gives you the following at that price. Full steering wheel controls, pwr windows/locks, keyless, cd/mpw, flash drive, ipod connectivity, sirius, 5 speed auto tranny, ac, cc, etc. Oh, 5 yr/60 month b2b, 10 yr/100K pwrtrain. I have more headroom than I did in my Tundra, 40 mpg on the hwy, and a very reliable and well handling suspension. Nice pep on that engine also!

Purchased this car as a birthday present to myself a few weeks ago. This car rides, looks, and feels as if I spent thousands more on it. I test drove other vehicles in it's class such as Toyota corolla, Mazda 3, civic sedan, just to name a few and the forte won out over these cars. The Mazda and Honda had horrible road noise where as the forte was very quiet inside.

character in a car

I traded in a mazda6 which was good but just boring.I've had the car for 4 weeks. The new Forte has character. It's a fun car to drive. It has plenty of room, a large trunk, plenty of back seat room.It handles great and with the 2.4 engine has more accelaration then the old mazda6 with a 3.0.The satellite radio and easy MP3 hook up is great.It evens comes with bluetooth which I didn't care about but makes driving safer.It has most options standard on the SX.The new mazda 3 may have a nicer interior(ugly grill) but I would rather have the extra money in my pocket.Once you get used to the delayed throttle it's a blast to drive.Nothing in its class has as much power or is as much fun to drive.
