- 2023 Ford Focus ST Line X (sold 2020 Si sedan)
Kia website lists a manual Forte GT. Haven't heard any confirmation if the US is getting the Forte5 this year.Matt Maran recently did a two-part review of the Kia Forte GT, and loved it. I see where's he's coming from here. I wound up getting the Si and really love it. But if the Forte GT in manual included adaptive cruise and heated seats (like my Si), it would have been a very close call. And if you want an automatic, the Forte GT would be a good choice.
While I think the sedan looks great, I think the hatch looks a little weird, like the Mazda 3. Prefer the updated (2021) i30 N Line.
I'm looking at a new car this fall and would love to have a choice of a Civic Sport hatch vs Forte 5 GT vs updated Elantra GT N Line. All 6MT.
