Thinking of replacing my forte5 ex with a new ex koup. Right now, I haul a road bike in th eback with the seats down in the 5. Anyone doing the same thing with a koup? I'm curious about how large the seat opening is when the seats are down.
Any advice? It just seems a shame to put a crappy bike carrier on the back...
:nerd2:
I just bought a 2014 Forte EX Koup and tools some measurements for you:
The opening through from the trunk to the passenger compartment is 18 in X 41 in. It tapers in about 7 inches at the top on each side (see photo of my trunk). The distance from the rear of the trunk to the back of the driver's seat is 66 in.

Thanks for taking the time to measure (and sorry it took so long to respond) It looks like the Koup is actually a bit taller in the opening, but I'll also take the advice to take the bike with me to the dealer. Maybe I can convince them that it's my trade :smile2:
