Convenience
You definitely won't have to visit your friendly gas station more often with the Kia Forte than with the Toyota Camry, as both offer comparable ranges.

Comfort
Taller drivers will substantially enjoy the extra head room in the Kia Forte's front cabin compared to the Toyota. The Toyota provides more head- and leg-room to your passengers than the Kia does.

Dimensions
The Toyota Camry is tremendously heavier than the Kia Forte. Your wallet will hurt more every time you fill up the Toyota Camry than the Kia Forte because of its bigger tank. The Kia Forte and the Toyota compete for the same parking spaces.

Performance
Regarding horsepower, the Toyota packs quite a wallop and will knock the Forte down a few rungs. On the other hand, bear in mind that high horsepower engines often command higher insurance premiums.

Handling
With their comparable turning circles, the Kia Forte and the Camry definitely handle about the same into and out of tight spots.

Drivetrain
The Kia Forte's engine is substantially smaller than the Toyota Camry's. Note that a smaller engine usually has to work a little harder; on the other hand, smaller engines are often cheaper to fix.

Warranty
The basic warranty that comes with the Toyota Camry isn't quite as generous as the Forte's.
