@VietnaMilk I'll agree with you that the Fit's 1.5L is more responsive, but man is it slow. It's damn damn slow. I love my Forte' though. Before buying it, I put it up with the 10' Fit and I couldn't have made a better decision. I love the rated 156HP/144TQ. Only if the torque was a bit more down low, it'd be great.

@dhruvilshah30 I drove a Mazda 3, and I believe it is a very Fun car to drive. I appreciate that they come with 4-wheel independent suspension w/ rear Multi-link, giving you great cornering performance and ride comfort. The power out is average, unless u get the Mazda speed, but throttle response is perfect and makes it feel faster; it has great low-end to mid-end power. The shifting was "okay" but i'm personally used to solid precise Honda transmissions, so its definitely more forgiving.

This is just from experience, but up until 3 years ago, KIA cars were not that great in build quality compared to Toyota, let alone Honda. Toyota did have many concerns, and KIA is indeed improving, but even on the new model KIA Forte, I noticed the plastic trim, even electrical parts are not enduring as well as i had hoped. And from a 2.4 liter SX model engine, I would really expect much more "go." My Honda Fit's 1.5 Liter actually has more responsiveness, which is depressing considering.
