Thinking of buying the 2021 Kia Forte EX+?

We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2021 Kia Forte EX+ for sale by us right now. This page puts the 2021 Kia Forte EX+ in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.

A buyer's checks

In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. There are 2 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.

The numbers in plain words

The powertrain here is the 2.0L 4-cylinder with front-wheel drive and an automatic (CVT). It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.

For 300 km of mixed driving, expect about 21 litres, from its 7.1 L/100 km rating. In money, 1,000 km costs about $110.10 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,050 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

What the Forte is like

It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. For luggage, 425 litres means a family's bags for a long weekend.

Good uses for the Forte

It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.

Rent it for a week first

A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. A week with the Forte answers more than any brochure. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience.

Money matters

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.

Which one to look for

Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Compare the EX+ with the other trims of the same year before you decide.
