I enjoy the Forte5. Since Im 62, two people have asked whether I fit in the car when they see the photo. I have 4-5 of room above my head and the driver seat goes back further than I can use. So comfortable for tall drivers. My family has a 2018 Kia Forte sedan which is very similar to my Forte5. The hatchback has 164hp while the sedan has 147hp. My Forte5 gets slightly less gas mileage than the sedan. I typically get 34-38mpg mixed driving. Exactly what I needed and would definitely buy it again. Unfortunately the model was discontinued in 2018 so I bought the newest one I could find.

Looks good, the manual transmission has a really high clutch engagement (friction point) that makes it less fun and less sporty especially in traffic.
