The 2021 Kia Forte EX+ for buyers

We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2021 Kia Forte EX+ for sale by us right now. Before you buy the 2021 Kia Forte EX+, here is what the figures say and what to look at.

Recalls and complaints

Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. NHTSA lists 2 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed.

The numbers in plain words

Under the hood: the 2.0L 4-cylinder and 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.

The EPA rates it at 7.1 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 21 litres. In energy, every 100 km costs about $11.01 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,050 a year for 15,000 miles.

Who it is for

It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.

Room inside

As a mid-size car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. The EPA measures its luggage space at 425 litres, roughly a family's bags for a long weekend.

A longer test drive

Rent the Forte for a week and see how it fits your life. A test week in the Forte tells you more than any review. Rent the Forte first, and buy only if it fits your life.

Picking a year and a trim

Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Compare the EX+ with the other trims of the same year before you decide.

Money matters

Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $110.10 at our price setting. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car.

Renting for Haystack

We rent from Toronto only. If your trip to Haystack starts in the Toronto area, rent the car here. Haystack is about 3,647 km from our Toronto location, beyond the area we deliver to.
