Hey everyone. I've been browsing around here looking, and I've been interested in a Forte Koup for a while now. I haven't gone and test drove one yet, because I know once I do, I'm sure I'll buy it on the spot. But I want to get some of your input first.

I'd be getting a 2010 Forte Koup SX 6speed of course. I read a review online about the headroom being limited. I was wondering if anyone on this site has a Forte Koup with a Sunroof, and they said if you were over 6 feet tall to not get the sunroof. Well that poses a problem because I'm 6'5 and I want a sunroof lol. I was wondering if anyone on here has bought one that is as tall as me(or close) and if they have any issues with this?

I plan on getting the Intake and Exhaust Turbo-Kits has if/when I do get the car cause I love the way it sounds with those 2. I've worked on many cars before, so I know how to do all the work with them. I enjoy working on cars actually. It's a hobby for me.

Also, are there any other issues that owners have noticed with the car? I'm in IT so I deal with new stuff all the time and I know how messed up it can be on the 1st release so that's why I'm asking. I know of the throttle body mod people do, and I plan on doing that as well.

So that's all really. Just interested in what other people have to say about the car. It looks great, and I am definitely interested in getting one. Thanks for all your help!

LOL well thanks for the welcomes guys... I'm glad you get to have fun in your cars. I'm sure if I get one, I will be doing that as well... Ya have to! Got to break it in somehow right?

I'm mostly legs. I have a big torso, but not that big.I don't want my head hanging out of the sunroof though, lol. I guess all I really can do is go test drive one and see if I can fit in it. Hopefully I can, because I do really like the car. I appreciate the help you guys did give me before you went off topic lol.

Haha thanks guys. Maybe I'll go drive one tomorrow if my network upgrade goes smoothly tonight (Doubt it)

Also, I don't know if this is cause I'm still a "newbie" or a setting I don't have set. But I'm not getting emails when people reply to this? If someone could help me with that, I'd appreciate it!

Oh and 1 more question... Wheres the clutch grab on the SX? Just curious. I know every clutch is different, But i figured they would all be the same on the same car lol.

 

[Wobb]

Yes! I would ask about the clutch! I guess it doesn't really matter, because I put the clutch to the floor everytime I shift. Having a size 14 shoe, pushing it to the floor everytime just makes it easier. But my buddies mustang the clutch grabbed right at the top, and my knee bashed the steering wheel everytime I shifted.

Thanks.. I plan on it. I fit in a 350Z just fine. Fit in vettes, but obviously that's not a forte lol. Hopefully I can fit and everything works out. Maybe I'll be going home with it tomorrow! That would be awesome lol. I've never bought a brand new car before. Thanks for all the info guys. I appreciate it.

Well, I went and test drove one. BUT it was a Koup EX auto they had no SX's in stock. But i can fit perfectly fine with the sunroof. Which makes me happy. It sucks there are no SX koup 6 speeds around here. Hopefully soon I'll be picking one up!!

I told him to let me know as soon as 1 comes in, or at any other dealer around. And he kept telling me about the auto like I drove, and if I'm buying a car and paying on it for a decent amount of time, I want the 6 speed. Just the way I am. I've only ever driven manuals so that's what I like. Hopefully one comes in soon and I can get it.
