Red Light
Tiny cupholders No Sunglass holder
Yellow Light
Less responsive in Active ECO mode
Green Light
Great features list including heated seats and backup camera Telescopic steering column on higher-end versions Great 6-speed (When Active ECO is not on.) Exterior styling Great posted fuel economy
Review:
This was my first car, upon checking out the competition in the subcompact category, this was the best not only in price, but value and performance. It also fits 4 people rather comfortably.

Without Active ECO the car can really move on the highway. I'm averaging about 10 l/100km doing all city driving during the winter. (Do mostly short trips.) The Backup camera is a must have as the back window is very small.

After owning it for a year, I haven't regretted my decision. I look forward to getting my mom hooked on the new 2014 Forte .

Review:
C'est mon premier véhicule neuf, je suis allé faire plusieurs essais routiers et c'est celui que j'ai aimé le plus, on ne dirais pas qu'on ce trouve dans une petite voiture de 14 000$ ! J'ai opté pour le modèle lx+ et j'en suis totalement satisfait. Comme ils m'ont dit avant l'achat et je confirme, avant on offrait seulement un bon prix, maintenant c'est de la qualité à bas prix.
N'hésitez pas à aller faire un essai routier! Ils sont très accueillant!
