2016 Civic EX-T Coupe
vs. 2016 Kia Forte Koup SX 6AT
•
Although the Kia has an edge in horsepower (201
vs. 174), it pays a tremendous price in EPA fuel-
economy ratings. (See chart below)
•
The Civic's sophisticated multi-link rear
suspension provides a much higher degree of
handling precision and a more compliant ride
quality than the economy-oriented torsion-beam
setup on the Forte Koup.
•
Apple CarPlay™10 and Android Auto™11 are
standard on Civic EX-T and above Coupes; they're
not available on any Forte Koup.
•
The Honda Sensing™ suite of safety and driver-
assistive features is standard on the Civic Touring
Coupe; no similar features are available on any
Forte Koup.
•
No Forte Koup offers any similar feature to the
Civic Touring Coupe's LED headlights or rain-
sensing windshield wipers.

2016 Civic EX-T Coupe
vs. 2016 Scion tC 6AT
•
The Civic Coupe receives vastly better EPA fuel-
economy ratings than the Scion tC. (See charts
below)
•
Although the tC has slightly more horsepower
than the Civic 1.5T models (179 vs. 174), it
also has more than 235 extra pounds to haul
around (3,124 vs. 2,889); the turbo Civic's power
to weight ratio is much more favorable for
responsiveness (16.6 lbs/hp vs. 17.5).
•
Even with tC's $900 audio upgrade, the Scion
doesn't offer the Civic EX-T Coupe's standard
Apple CarPlay
or Android Auto™
TM10
•
Every Civic Coupe is equipped with a standard
multi-angle rearview camera with guidelines
camera of any kind is available on the tC
•
The Civic Coupe has more interior room in almost
every dimension.
