I own a Forte 5 GT Limited, I tested the Civic Sport Touring and the Entrant GT N-Line and chose this due to the more space in the hatch for my dog. The Forte 5 GT handed better than the civic and was more fun to drive in an Auto. The GT N-Line was fun, but has a much smaller trunk space. All in all I am loving this car, it is great in the snow and on dry days it fun to drive on some twisty roads. I am looking forward to the summer when I can get the 18"s on it.

Great review as usual guys. I’ve had the Australian version of this car (Cerato GT) for a year now. It is great fun to drive, and actually very practical. Comes as hatch and sedan here...but personally I’ve always been a fan of the longer hatchback look n opted for that. Prior to this car, I never considered owning a Kia or Hyundai. Now I’m converted. Can’t really fault it as an owner (except no auto wipers).

Though, I kind of like how it's not a hatchback or a wagon. It's unique, it has more space then a hatch but isn't a wagon. GTI Costs a lot more than this. Golf GTI in Australia costs $51, 000 +....

I want the power of the Civic, but the warranty of the Kia. I'm just lost and confused...lol. enjoyed the video though.
