Compare the 2020 Kia Forte and 2020 Honda Civic

The Forte has the advantage for warranty coverage, with the backing of a very generous 5-years/60,000-miles basic warranty and a 10-years/100,000-miles powertrain warranty. The Civic only has a 3-years/36,000-miles basic warranty and a 5-years/60,000-miles powertrain warranty.

The Forte provides a very safe ride, especially with its safety-enhancing driving assistance technologies. One of the most dangerous driving maneuvers is backing up a car. The available Cross-Path Warning System in the Forte helps alleviate this danger by sounding an alert when cars approach from the side of the vehicle. Another cause of accidents is inattentive driving. The Forte addresses this with its standard Driver Alert Monitor, which sounds an alert when inattentive driving is detected. The Civic doesn’t offer either of these features.
