    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. Here is what to know about the 2021 Kia Forte EX before buying one.

    Recalls and complaints

    Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. NHTSA lists 2 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Owners filed 69 complaints with NHTSA, most often about engine, unknown or other and electrical system; have those parts checked. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.

    The numbers in plain words

    The 2.0L 4-cylinder with front-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.

    By the EPA's combined rating of 7.1 L/100 km, 300 km takes about 21 litres. Every 100 km costs about $11.01 in fuel at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,050 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

    What to expect from the Forte

    Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. Luggage space is rated at 425 litres: a family's bags for a long weekend.

    When the Forte makes sense

    It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.

    Try before you buy

    Rent the Forte first, and buy only if it fits your life. A test week in the Forte tells you more than any review. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.

    Running costs

    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

    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. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.

    A note on Java

    Java is about 1,933 km from Toronto, outside our delivery area. If you are starting from Toronto, rent the car here and drive it to Java.
