2022 Kia Forte Reviews SummaryWith inflation and gas prices delivering a one-two punch to Canadian budgets, could compact cars like the 2022 Kia Forte make a comeback? The segment is full of good choices, and you can easily get one with all of the modern infotainment technology and safety features for under $30,000. Plus, today’s compact cars are the size of midsize sedans from a decade or two ago. Good thing Kia has updated the Forte for the 2022 model year with sharper styling and new infotainment, driver assist, and collision avoidance systems. Just in case consumers decide their next ride needs to be thriftier and more affordable. | |
2023 Toyota Corolla Hybrid Reviews SummaryThe Toyota Corolla compact car accomplished a once-unthinkable feat in 2022 by unseating the Honda Civic as the best-selling car in Canada. Over the decades, the Corolla has stayed true to its original formula of delivering a reliable and economical vehicle for the masses. With the introduction of the Corolla Hybrid in 2020, that formula is even more relevant. Note the Corolla Hybrid is offered as a sedan only; the Corolla Hatchback is only available with a gas powertrain. | |
