Buying the 2021 Kia Forte EX

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. Buying the 2021 Kia Forte EX is a big decision; here is the information we have.

Before you sign for the Forte

NHTSA has 69 owner complaints on file, mostly about engine, unknown or other and electrical system. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.

The figures, translated

Power: the 2.0L 4-cylinder; drive: front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.

Plan on about 21 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 7.1 L/100 km. 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.

Practical details

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

Good uses for the Forte

It suits commuters, couples and business trips. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.

A longer test drive

Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. A week with the Forte answers more than any brochure. Rent the Forte for a week and see how it fits your life.

Money matters

Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $11.01 in fuel. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car.

Year and trim

If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
