The Deed Is Done

2009

Well, the deed is done. With a minimum amount of hassle, and a loan we expect to be able to pay off in full come tax time, we have -at home - a car that should give us a smooth, relatively worry-free ride for the next 10 years or so. It's got a 10-year warranty, anyway. A little research since the purchase has also bouyed my already-good feelings about this car. With this crazy "fuel economy package" that we threw in, it truly is the most fuel efficient non-hybrid currently in the compact field. AND, it somehow manages to have a lot more interior space (both trunk & passenger) than just about any of the other sedans. And then there's all the fun stuff.

Anyway - hope to cruise by and pick one of you jokers up for an iPod-shuffle-laden excursion sometime soon!

Beautiful! I told my dad about the Forte and he is looking into it. He is looking for a car like that, but has been looking at Toyota and Honda until now.

I hope to be the first to ride in the Forte.

Glad your dad is looking into it. I hope to turn some other people onto the Forte. It's truly amazing - you'd think that space & fuel economy would be mutually exclusive; but I'm tellin' ya - when you get into the front seat of this thing, you're like "wow." Then when you look in the trunk, you're like "wow" again. I suspect you will be the first. At least of the jokers who check in on this blog.
