The 2021 Kia Forte EX+: before you buy

CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2021 Kia Forte EX+ for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. Thinking about the 2021 Kia Forte EX+? Here are the numbers in plain words and what to check.

What to check on the Forte

Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Owners filed 69 complaints with NHTSA, most often about engine, unknown or other and electrical system; have those parts checked. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.

What the specs mean

The 2.0L 4-cylinder with front-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.

Combined fuel use is 7.1 L/100 km: about 21 litres for 300 km. For 1,000 km, budget about $110.10 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,050 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Who it is for

It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits commuters, couples and business trips.

Size and space

Being a mid-size car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. For luggage, 425 litres means a family's bags for a long weekend.

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. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. If the Forte is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge.

Picking a year and a trim

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. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.

What it costs to run

Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. The EPA estimates US$2,050 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.

The Forte and Ruby

We have no location in Ruby; CarmaCars rents from Toronto, about 602 km away. We rent from Toronto only. If your trip to Ruby starts in the Toronto area, rent the car here.
