2015 Honda Civic vs. 2015 Kia Forte Full Comparison of Specs, Features, and Owner Reviews

This car has a spacious trunk. It has also spacious room for the leg of the passengers even the one sitting in the middle. I like also the way the dashboard was made. It is very clear and has big print. It is only pros for me is that it does not have a backing camera.

As I said, one of the things that I did not like with it is that it does not have a backing camera. Also, although the trunk is spacious, it is door does not have a 'spring' or shall I say when I close it, I really need to be careful because it will make a big 'bang' sound.

My Honda has great gas mileage! Particularly on the interstate. It is very low maintenance. There is plenty of inside room. I am tall and I like the fact that it has enough leg room. Very dependable. Cons. Trim around windows tends to wear and not look good.

The cons are that the trim around the windows does not last. It tends to fade and not look good. There is and area on the lower frame when you open the driver's side door that is rusting out. Occasionally, it does not seem to get enough gas when going up a slight hill and feels like it is about to stall.

It drives really well and rarely breaks down. The controls are easy to understand and it is comfortable to sit in. It does its job well for what I need, and its gas efficiency is decent. The Bluetooth connection is super helpful to control music without looking away from the road, or answering incoming calls if needed.

During icy weather, the vehicle skids or slips easily if you are not careful. Sometimes the sound speakers glitch and only come out of one speaker, which is a little annoying, but not a big deal. If you need more space, this car is not the right car; my brother is tall and has trouble fitting in the car, but this is a minor inconvenience for him.

I get very good gas mileage. Also based on the Hondas I have had in the past, this car is likely to last many years. Before I got this one, my last car had over 300,000 miles and still drove just very well.

There are not really any cons of having my car. Hondas are very well known for being incredibly reliable cars. They run forever and very rarely have any major issues. The only thing that might happen from time to time is a leaky hose, but that is an easy fix.

It is compact and will fit into virtually any parking space. The sound system is high quality. The gas mileage is fairly respectable for its class. Excellent maneuverability. We've had to do only the basic required maintenance to keep it on the road. No major repair work required yet which is impressive for a 5-year-old vehicle with significant mileage.

It is so low to the ground. It is not a comfortable ride for any of my family members. Not a lot of cabin room. Not a lot of trunk space. There have been pesky electrical glitches that do not affect roadworthiness but are annoying, like the trunk popping open whenever it pleases.

The technology, the safety of it, and the overall design. The look is pretty sleek and it appears to be a good car. Has not given me any major problems, but does need repairs on occasion. The care is overall easy to maintain.

The care is expensive to maintain, there is not a lot of space on the inside. It is not good to travel with because it does not have a lot of the technology needed when traveling long distances. The maintenance of the car makes it hard to love.

Pros: inexpensive, has technological features available as standard vs. Other brands, reliable, good gas mileage. Cons: not much, some people care about brand and this is not one that gives you status. That is something I do not care about.

Cons of the car are: is not a brand people recognize as giving you a status, is not a sports car for driving fast. This are things I do not care about as I need a car that is reliable and safe. Dealership is not great, usually pressure you to add more features to the car.

The Kia Forte is a nice compact sedan. Perfect for teens/young adults! The EX model is perfect for the driver looking for basics without a basic look! I could not have asked for a better first car for myself!

The cons of the Kia Forte are The lack of keyless entry, no cruise control, no cup holders in the backseat. Blind spot in front. The Kia Forte Sits very close to the road and catches everyone else's headlights just at the perfect spot to blind the driver at night.
