Good value in its segment at 32,425 given the performance

428 L trunk may be tight for cargo-heavy use
FWD layout may be limiting for winter driving in snow-prone areas
Combined consumption of 8.4 may not suit economy-first buyers
Seats five only, so not ideal for larger families

Kia Forte GT

0–100 km/h in 6.0 s from a 201 hp turbo for lively performance
7.0 L/100 km combined consumption is efficient for its class
Listed price of 30,500 represents good value in its segment
Strong safety standing for its class
You require AWD; this model is FWD
433-liter trunk may be tight for cargo-heavy needs
Not aimed at a premium-luxury experience
If you want the lowest fuel use, dedicated hybrids beat 7.0 L/100 km
