Protégé : 2016 Kia Forte vs 2016 Toyota Corolla on the South Shore of Montreal

Compact sedans are cars that are particularly appreciated in Montreal since they offer great performance for a small price. Despite the influx of models, two manage to stand out from the crowd in Longueuil and Brossard: the 2016 Corolla and the 2016 Forte. If we rely on the Car Guide, we see that the Toyota sedan is superior to the Kia. Is this true?

Their base prices are similar and are situated near the $ 16 000 mark. Equipped with a similar 4-cylinder engine, it manages to reach almost the same power, within 10 horsepower of each other. In fact, the 2016 Corolla reaches 132 horsepower and 6000 rpm while the 2016 Forte can reach 145 horsepower at 6500 rpm.

But, where it really counts is at the level of fuel consumption in the city and on the highway. On this front, the Car Guide gave a rating of 90% to the 2016 Corolla while the 2016 Forte received 80%. The reason is clear; no car can match a Toyota when it comes to fuel consumption.

The proof, the 2016 Toyota Corolla requires only 8,4 L of fuel for 100km, which is extremely energy efficient. The 2016 Forte uses a little more than 9,3 L/100km in the city.

So, the 2016 Kia Forte is the ideal car for those who prefer looks to dependability. But, for those who need to log many kilometers a day between Longueuil, St-Constant and Brossard, the 2016 Corolla is the better choice. In fact, as well as offering the best quality and a better reliability, it is also extra long lasting and will be faithful to you for many years to come.
