IMO, better than the base Lancer, definitely better than Corolla, and no goofy-ass smile like the new Mazda 3 (although the body isn't nearly as nice).
This car segment really doesn't have anything that screams must-buy. The 3 I think wins for performance and (if you can stand the smile either by liking it or by hiding it with a black version) general looks. Forte comes with more stuff and I think they tie for fit and finish. Speed3 would demolish it in terms of performance.
