Love it. No complaints. I do use a flash drive for music (especially once the Sirius trial ended) which is awesome. I am probably getting terrible fuel economy because I drive rather aggressively but its such a fun car to drive! I just passed 10K on my Forte SX 6-spd. Love it. No complaints.

The only issues I have are not really Forte issues such as low clearance for driving on snow (It got stuck on me in 12" of snow when my Sedona had no problem). I guess if I had to find any fault is that the USB port appears to only accept an iPod but not an iPod Touch. I am thinking about trying a thumbdrive with only music but it wouldn't accept my Zune. I have noticed that once you pass 60mph, your mileage starts to go down and at 65+ it goes down rapidly down to about 25mpg. I'm up to 7800 miles and I've had absolutely no problems with the car needing any attention except an oil change. Good luck. Yes, I'm still very satisfied.

Overall mileage is running about 34mpg in Philadelphia. I do keep the cruise control at 58 and try to avoid quick accelerations. Smooth and quite rid with plenty of room for the family. Options are nice, especially the bluetooth phone and Sirius radio. Highly recommended. I just hit 1000 miles on my EX and I am very happy. Overall mileage is running about 34mpg in Philadelphia.
