I'd be interested to hear how the 2 compare. Don't even bother with the Corolla, LOL.

The Forte has a more powerful base engine then the Civic(156hp to 140hp) and 4 wheel disc brakes vs the Civic's rear drums. And the Civic interior is Rubbermaid-esque. I have sat inside a 2010.

Yeh, fit and finish on the Forte, especially the panel seams, is Audi-esque. I've owned a couple Audi's.

Even the EX has good power with 156hp at 2700 lbs curb weight.
