The 2021 Kia Forte EX for buyers

We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2021 Kia Forte EX for sale by us right now. Before you buy the 2021 Kia Forte EX, see the figures and the checks worth doing.

Recalls and complaints

Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent.

The figures, translated

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 combined figure, 7.1 L/100 km, means roughly 21 litres for 300 km. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $11.01, and a 300 km weekend about $33.03. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,050 a year for 15,000 miles.

What the Forte is like

A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. With 425 litres of luggage space by the EPA's measure, it takes a family's bags for a long weekend.

Good uses for the Forte

It suits commuters, couples and business trips. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.

A longer test drive

Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. Try the Forte on your commute, then decide.

The cost of driving it

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. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.

Which one to look for

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. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
