1. 2024 Kia Forte GT (1.6T Automatic Transmission)

Unlike the Civic Si benchmark, the Forte GT is available with an automatic (technically a dual-clutch automated manual), and the GT's fuel economy skyrockets when it's specified. Unusually, the auto is also slightly cheaper than the manual.
2. 2024 Kia Forte GT (1.6T Manual Transmission)
- Base Price: $25,390
- MPG Combined: 26
- Drive Type: Front-wheel drive
- Engine: 1.6-liter inline-4
- Aspiration: Turbocharged
- Transmission: 6-speed manual
- Horsepower: 201
- Torque: 195 lb-ft
- 0-60: 6.7 sec

The GT with the manual transmission has a specific bogey in its sights, and that bogey is named the Honda Civic Si. As far as that face-off goes, the Kia is actually quicker to both 60 mph and the quarter mile, and it's also going faster when it gets to the quarter, so it wins the acceleration trifecta. Naturally, it costs less than the Honda, too.
