    The 2021 Kia Forte EX+: before you buy

    We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2021 Kia Forte EX+ for sale by us right now. This page sets out the 2021 Kia Forte EX+ for buyers, in plain words.

    Recalls and complaints

    Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.

    Specs, explained

    Its powertrain is the 2.0L 4-cylinder with front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.

    Rated at 7.1 L/100 km combined, it needs around 21 litres for a 300 km round trip. Driving 300 km costs roughly $33.03 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,050 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

    Who rents the Forte

    It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.

    Room inside

    As a mid-size car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. Luggage space is rated at 425 litres: a family's bags for a long weekend.

    Rent it for a week first

    Rent the Forte for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Try the Forte on your commute, then decide. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.

    Year and trim

    Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.

    Running costs

    At our price setting, 100 km costs about $11.01 in fuel. The EPA estimates US$2,050 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $110.10 at our price setting.
