    It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. Luggage space is rated at 425 litres: a family's bags for a long weekend.

    Rent it for a week first

    If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. A week with the Forte answers more than any brochure. Rent first, buy later: a week with the Forte answers the big questions.

    Choosing the right one

    Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.

    The cost of driving it

    At our price setting, 100 km costs about $11.01 in fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$2,050 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
