There is no question about it, the compact sedan segment is very competitive and consist of many options from a variety of automakers. Despite the fact, auto aficionados from three well-known sources: Cars.com, USA Today and MotorWeek, still accept the challenge of distinguishing which models stand out from the rest.
Each year, editors from the three publications get together and hold what is known as the Compact Sedan Challenge. Every vehicle in the test is critiqued on a variety of factors including handling, comfort, fuel economy, technology, price, style etc.
As one could imagine this task is no easy feat. The competitive nature of the segment turns out many great options for critics to analyze. This year's results have validated how we here at Pence Kia have felt all along. The model to come out victorious in the test was none other than the 2014 Kia Forte.
