    Thinking of buying the 2021 Kia Forte EX Premium?

    No 2021 Kia Forte EX Premium is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. Here is what to know about the 2021 Kia Forte EX Premium before buying one.

    A buyer's checks

    In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. NHTSA lists 2 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed.

    What the specs mean

    The 2.0L 4-cylinder does the work, through an automatic (CVT). 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 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.

    Who the Forte suits

    It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.

    Practical details

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

    A longer test drive

    Rent the Forte first, and buy only if it fits your life. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Rent first, buy later: a week with the Forte answers the big questions.

    Narrowing it down

    If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.

    The cost of driving it

    Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $110.10 at our price setting. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.

    The Forte and Mapleton

    If you need it in Mapleton itself, send a request and we will tell you honestly whether we can help. Mapleton is about 2,009 km from Toronto, outside our delivery area.
