Toyota Corolla vs. Kia Forte Review

Handling
With their comparable turning radii, the Kia Forte and the Corolla likely handle approximately the same into and out of tight spots.

Drivetrain
The Kia Forte's engine isn't much more sizeable than the Toyota's. The Toyota Corolla could learn a lesson or two from the Kia when it comes to torque.

Utility
The Toyota Corolla and the Kia Forte can accommodate the same number of passengers.

Convenience
You most certainly won't have to visit your friendly gas station more often with the Toyota than with the Kia Forte, because both offer similar mileage ranges.

Comfort
Taller drivers will considerably enjoy the extra head room in the Kia Forte's front cabin compared to the Toyota. While the rear of the Toyota Corolla offers a bit more head- and leg-room than the Kia Forte, there really isn't much of a difference.

Dimensions
The Corolla's tank is roughly the same size as the Kia Forte's, though the Kia Forte's is slightly larger. The Kia and the Corolla compete for the same parking spaces.

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. It costs almost the same to get the Kia Forte to the dealership as the Toyota Corolla. The Toyota Corolla won't save you much money at the pump compared to the Forte. Producing an accurate gas mileage evaluation is so tough that some think not even the federal government can do it, but it looks as though both the Toyota Corolla and the Toyota Corolla perform about comparably in terms of gas mileage. The Toyota Corolla isn't much costlier than the Kia Forte in terms of MSRP.

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