Maybe he was hoping he could steal the appropriately equipped Forte without having to drive it? LoL!I suppose you could test drive it and use the manual side and see if the display shows a 4 or 5 when you get into top gear.
I'm looking to buy used, so unless the original sticker is in the manual the sales people likely won't know.One option would be to call the salesman. I cannot imagine the guy who is too busy to answer a simple question for a prospective sale. Narrow your choices down to a few in the right price/mileage/colour/etc. and then call them up and see who's a winner. Might take you four or five phone calls, but why wouldn't you?
