Size of car implies a compac, yet overall handling & performance feels closer to an intermediate-size vehicle. Happy with overall handling on VT roads. Vehicle is light so during high wind conditions vehicle gets pushed around. Engine & transmission performance very good. Higher speeds on interstates /thruways car felt very controlled & gas comsumption/mpg is surprisingly very good. Lent car to visiting family members and all were impressed with this Forte EX model. 10/5/16 - traded the Forte in for 2012 Lexus 450h suv. Why? Snowbirding to eastern Fl & this gives me room, driving comfort, similar gas milege, but best of all much improved resale trade value. My Forte was in close to excell shape. Many dealers would only offer $3000. less than KBB. Finally found one that gave me $1500. less than high. That "value retention factor" only works if you trade for another Kia model.
