Comparison Review

Comfort
The Acura Integra offers rear passengers about the same space to stretch out as the Kia Forte with comparable rear head- and legroom in both vehicles. Offering just a little more front head- and legroom than the Acura Integra, drivers may find the Kia Forte a little roomier and somewhat more comfortable.

Convenience
With the Kia Forte you will definitely be making less frequent stops at the gas station than with the Acura Integra, due to its tank size and fuel economy.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The Acura Integra will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Kia Forte, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
The Acura Integra is a little wider than the Kia Forte, so getting in and out of the car in a crowded parking lot may be a little more of a squeeze. When looking at overall length, the Acura Integra takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Kia Forte.

Handling
The Acura Integra has a larger turning radius than the Kia Forte, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Acura Integra has a much more powerful engine than the Kia Forte. However, something you should consider is that higher horsepower engines often command higher insurance premiums.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the engine of the Acura Integra does a much better job of transmitting power to the wheels than the Kia Forte.

Utility
In terms of seating you'll be able to fit the same number of people in both the Acura Integra and the Kia Forte.
